OBJECTIVE: To report on clinical, genetic and molecular characterization of two Chinese families with Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy.
METHODS: Ophthalmological examinations have revealed variable severity and age at onset of visual loss among the probands and other matrilineal relatives of both families. The entire mitochondrial genome of the two probands was amplified with PCR in 24 overlapping fragments using sets of oligonucleotide primers.
RESULTS: The ophthalmological examinations showed that penetrance was 12.5% and 30.0% respectively in the two families. Sequence analysis of the complete mitochondrial genomes in these pedigrees has identified unreported homoplasmic T8821G mutation in the ATPase 6 gene and distinct sets of polymorphisms belonging to haplogroups M10a. The T8821G mutation has occurred at the extremely conserved nucleotide (conventional position 99) of the ATPase6. Thus, this mutation may alter structural formation of ATPase6, thereby leading to failure in the synthesis of ATP involved in visual impairment.
CONCLUSION: Above observations have suggested that the ATPase6 T8821G mutation may be involved in the pathogenesis of optic neuropathy in these families.
