Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy is caused by a single nucleotide change in the mitochondrial deoxynucleic acid(mtDNA) and accounts for 30% of bilateral optic atrophy of unknown etiology. The authors found 11778 mtDNA mutation in 12 patients and evaluated the clinical manifegtations. We confirmed various phenotypes exist in Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy in Korea. |
