IT TAKES TWO TO TANGO: potential novel therapies for autosomal dominant optic atrophy [PDF]
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.

Optic disc morphology of patients with OPA1 autosomal dominant optic atrophy [PDF]
Patients with autosomal dominant optic atrophy (ADOA) are genetically heterogeneous, but all have disc pallor. A degree of cupping in ADOA can make the distinction from normal tension glaucoma (NTG) clinically difficult. This study aimed to clarify the features of the optic nerve of patients with ADOA at the OPA1 locus.29 patients (58 eyes), from 12 ...

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.

Mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation compensation may preserve vision in patients with OPA1-linked autosomal dominant optic atrophy. [PDF]
Autosomal Dominant Optic Atrophy (ADOA) is the most common inherited optic atrophy where vision impairment results from specific loss of retinal ganglion cells of the optic nerve. Around 60% of ADOA cases are linked to mutations in the OPA1 gene. OPA1 is

Identification of AFG3L2 dominant optic atrophy following reanalysis of clinical exome sequencing
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.

Autosomal recessive pathogenic MSTO1 variants in hereditary optic atrophy
Graphical Abstract Gerber et al report 2 autosomal recessive pathogenic Misato homolog 1 (MSTO1) variants causing hereditary optic atrophy and raise concerns about a previously identified dominant variant of MSTO1 by Gal et al (2017).
