Penetrance Lhon-causing mtdna pathogenic variants are characterized by reduced penetrance. an individual can only develop lhon if a pathogenic mtdna lhon-causing variant is present, but approximately 50% of males and 90% of females who harbor a primary lhon-causing mtdna pathogenic variant do not develop blindness. it must be stressed that penetrance can vary markedly in different branches of the same family and between families harboring the same lhon-causing mtdna pathogenic variants, which complicates genetic counseling at the individual level. additional environmental and genetic factors interact with the primary mtdna pathogenic variant and determine whether an individual ultimately develops optic nerve dysfunction and visual failure. the two most important risk factors for visual loss are sex and age (see table 4) [yu-wai-man et al 2009]....

Summaries for Leber Optic Atrophy

About this section
Genetics Home Reference : 25 Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) is an inherited form of vision loss. Although this condition usually begins in a person's teens or twenties, rare cases may appear in early childhood or later in adulthood. For unknown reasons, males are affected much more often than females. Blurring and clouding of vision are usually the first symptoms of LHON. These vision problems may begin in one eye or simultaneously in both eyes; if vision loss starts in one eye, the other eye is usually affected within several weeks or months. Over time, vision in both eyes worsens with a severe loss of sharpness (visual acuity) and color vision. This condition mainly affects central vision, which is needed for detailed tasks such as reading, driving, and recognizing faces. Vision loss results from the death of cells in the nerve that relays visual information from the eyes to the brain (the optic nerve). Although central vision gradually improves in a small percentage of cases, in most cases the vision loss is profound and permanent. Vision loss is typically the only symptom of LHON; however, some families with additional signs and symptoms have been reported. In these individuals, the condition is described as "LHON plus." In addition to vision loss, the features of LHON plus can include movement disorders, tremors, and abnormalities of the electrical signals that control the heartbeat (cardiac conduction defects). Some affected individuals develop features similar to multiple sclerosis, which is a chronic disorder characterized by muscle weakness, poor coordination, numbness, and a variety of other health problems.

MalaCards based summary : Leber Optic Atrophy, also known as leber hereditary optic neuropathy, is related to leber optic atrophy and dystonia and mitochondrial complex i deficiency, nuclear type 1, and has symptoms including ataxia and static tremor. An important gene associated with Leber Optic Atrophy is MT-ND4 (Mitochondrially Encoded NADH:Ubiquinone Oxidoreductase Core Subunit 4), and among its related pathways/superpathways are Oxidative phosphorylation and Metabolism. The drugs Curcumin and Coenzyme Q10 have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include eye, brain and testes, and related phenotypes are mitochondrial respiratory chain defects and slow decrease in visual acuity

NIH Rare Diseases : 52 Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) is a condition characterized by vision loss. Vision loss is typically the only symptom of LHON. Some families with additional signs and symptoms have been reported and are said to have "LHON plus ", a condition which includes vision loss, tremors, and abnormalities of the electrical signals that control the heartbeat (cardiac conduction defects ). Some affected individuals develop features similar to multiple sclerosis . LHON is caused by mutations in the MT-ND1 , MT-ND4 , MT-ND4L , and MT-ND6 genes . LHON has a mitochondrial pattern of inheritance; however, there are many cases in which there are no other cases of LHON in the family. Treatment is supportive and may include visual aids. There is ongoing research for more effective treatment.

KEGG : 36 Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) is a maternally transmitted inherited genetic disease underlying mutation of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). It is primarily an ophthalmological disorder, presenting predominantly in young adult males and characterized by acute or subacute bilateral optic atrophy that results in the loss of central vision. In most of the patients with LHON, visual dysfunction is the only manifestation of the disease. The incidence of LHON in Western Europe is 1/30000-1/50000; at least 1 in 14000 males is affected.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot : 73 Leber hereditary optic neuropathy: A maternally inherited disease resulting in acute or subacute loss of central vision, due to optic nerve dysfunction. Cardiac conduction defects and neurological defects have also been described in some patients. LHON results from primary mitochondrial DNA mutations affecting the respiratory chain complexes.
