Multiethnic involvement in autosomal-dominant optic atrophy in Singapore [PDF]
PurposeAutosomal-dominant optic atrophy (ADOA), often associated with mutations in the OPA1 gene (chromosome 3q28-q29) is rarely reported in Asia. Our aim was to identify and describe this condition in an Asian population in Singapore.Patients and methodsPreliminary cross-sectional study at the Singapore National Eye Centre, including patients with ...

Mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation in autosomal dominant optic atrophy [PDF]
Abstract Background Autosomal dominant optic atrophy (ADOA), a form of progressive bilateral blindness due to loss of retinal ganglion cells and optic nerve deterioration, arises predominantly from mutations in the nuclear gene for the mitochondrial GTPase, OPA1.

IntroductionDentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy (DRPLA) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disease with various neurological manifestations. Corneal endothelial degeneration and optic atrophy have been reported separately; however, there are no ...

Electrophysiological
PurposeTo assess the effect of ADOA on the ON and OFF components of the photopic negative response (PhNR).MethodsTwelve participants from 6 families with OPA1 ADOA and 16 age matched controls were recruited. Electrophysiological assessment involved long flash focal (20o) and full field ERGs using red flash (664 nm, 250 msec, 55 cd/m2, 2 Hz) on a rod ...

Solving a 50 year mystery of a missing OPA1 mutation: more insights from the first family diagnosed with autosomal dominant optic atrophy [PDF]
Background: Up to the 1950s, there was an ongoing debate about the diversity of hereditary optic neuropathies, in particular as to whether all inherited optic atrophies can be ascribed to Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) or represent different ...

Autosomal dominant optic atrophy (ADOA) is a neuro-ophthalmic condition characterized by bilateral degeneration of the optic nerves. Although heterozygous mutations in OPA1 represent the most common genetic cause of ADOA, a significant number of cases ...

Oxidative Stress in Optic Neuropathies
Increasing evidence indicates that changes in the redox system may contribute to the pathogenesis of multiple optic neuropathies. Optic neuropathies are characterized by the neurodegeneration of the inner-most retinal neurons, the retinal ganglion cells (

Mutations of the OPA1 gene are responsible for over 70% of autosomal dominant optic atrophy patients. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from a 27–year-old patient with heterozygous c.2708_2711delTTAG mutation in the OPA1 gene ...
