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.

Background Autosomal dominant optic atrophy (ADOA, Kjer disease, MIM #165500) is the most common form of hereditary optic neuropathy. Mutations in OPA1 located at chromosome 3q28 are the predominant cause for ADOA explaining between 32 and 89% of cases ...

Autosomal dominant optic atrophy: A novel treatment for OPA1 splice defects using U1 snRNA adaption [PDF]
Autosomal dominant optic atrophy (ADOA) is frequently caused by mutations in the optic atrophy 1 (OPA1) gene, with haploinsufficiency being the major genetic pathomechanism. Almost 30% of the OPA1-associated cases suffer from splice defects.

Natural history of 15 patients with autosomal dominant WFS1 pathogenic variants associated with sensorineural hearing loss and optic atrophy [PDF]
Objective Autosomal dominant pathogenic variants in WFS1 cause a spectrum of disorders with phenotypic manifestations including low-frequency sensorineural hearing loss, optic nerve atrophy accompanied by low- to mid-frequency sensorineural hearing loss,

Autosomal Dominant Optic Atrophy Plus Syndrome [PDF]
Background: Dominant optic atrophy (DOA) is the most commonly encountered hereditary optic neuropathy in clinical practice and is the result of a mutation in the OPA1 or OPA3 genes encoding mitochondrial membrane proteins. The resultant mitochondrial dysfunction causes a distinct set of ophthalmic findings and may progress to extra-ocular systems known

An autosomal dominant optic atrophy: Kjer type [PDF]
We present a case of an autosomal dominant optic neuropathy, known as Kjer's disease. The condition can manifest since childhood, presenting with bilateral symmetric optic atrophy and progressive vision loss.

IT TAKES TWO TO TANGO: potential novel therapies for autosomal dominant optic atrophy
Autosomal dominant optic atrophy (ADOA) is among the most prevalent inherited optic neuropathies with hallmark symptoms of bilateral, painless, progressive, and typically permanent vision loss over time.

Contrasting pathophysiological mechanisms of OPA1 mutations in autosomal dominant optic atrophy
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.
