Identification of AFG3L2 dominant optic atrophy following reanalysis of clinical exome sequencing [PDF]
Purpose: To highlight the importance of the utility of clinical exome sequencing, and show how it led to the diagnosis of nonsyndromic autosomal dominant optic atrophy arising from an autosomal dominant variant in AFG3L2.

OPA1 Dominant Optic Atrophy: Diagnostic Approach in the Pediatric Population [PDF]
A clinical and genetic study was conducted with pediatric patients and their relatives with optic atrophy 1 (OPA1) mutations to establish whether there is a genotype–phenotype correlation among the variants detected within and between families.

A Case Report of Unilateral <italic>OPA3</italic>-Related Dominant Optic Atrophy [PDF]
Introduction: Autosomal dominant optic atrophy (DOA) is an inherited optic neuropathy characterized by progressive bilateral vision loss, cecocentral visual field (VF) defects, and retinal ganglion cell degeneration.

Characteristics of autosomal dominant WFS1-associated optic neuropathy and its comparability to OPA1-associated autosomal dominant optic atrophy [PDF]
This study aims to describe the ophthalmic characteristics of autosomal dominant (AD) WFS1-associated optic atrophy (AD WFS1-OA), and to explore phenotypic differences with dominant optic atrophy (DOA) caused by mutations in the OPA1-gene.

Establishing induced pluripotent stem cell lines from two dominant optic atrophy patients with distinct OPA1 mutations and clinical pathologies [PDF]
Dominant optic atrophy (DOA) is an inherited disease that leads to the loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), the projection neurons that relay visual information from the retina to the brain through the optic nerve.

Case of autosomal dominant optic atrophy with relatively good visual function [PDF]
Background Dominant optic atrophy (DOA) is an inherited optic neuropathy caused by mutations of the OPA1 gene. Patients with DOA have a gradual loss of vision that is often detected in early life.

Genotype–Phenotype Correlation in Dominant Optic Atrophy due to OPA1 c.3011T>C (p.Leu1004Pro): A Family-Based Case Series [PDF]
Purpose: To characterize the structural, functional, and optical coherence tomography angigraphy (OCTA) phenotype associated with the OPA1 c3011T>C (p.Leu1004Pro) variant in a multigenerational family with autosomal dominant optic atrophy.

Drosophila model to clarify the pathological significance of OPA1 in autosomal dominant optic atrophy [PDF]
Autosomal dominant optic atrophy (DOA) is a progressive form of blindness caused by degeneration of retinal ganglion cells and their axons, mainly caused by mutations in the OPA1 mitochondrial dynamin like GTPase (OPA1) gene.

Contrasting pathophysiological mechanisms of OPA1 mutations in autosomal dominant optic atrophy [PDF]
Autosomal dominant optic atrophy (ADOA) caused by mutations in the nuclear-encoded OPA1 gene result in the preferential loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and progressive optic nerve degeneration. The severity of ADOA can be highly variable.

Dominant Optic Atrophy (DOA): Modeling the Kaleidoscopic Roles of OPA1 in Mitochondrial Homeostasis [PDF]
In the year 2000, the discovery of OPA1 mutations as causative for dominant optic atrophy (DOA) was pivotal to rapidly expand the field of mitochondrial dynamics and describe the complex machinery governing this pathway, with a multitude of other genes ...
