Description : Autosomal dominant optic atrophy is characterized by an insidious onset of visual impairment in early childhood with moderate to severe loss of visual acuity, temporal optic disc pallor, color vision deficits, and centrocecal scotoma of variable density (Votruba et al., 1998). Some patients with mutations in the OPA1 gene may also develop extraocular neurologic features, such as deafness, progressive external ophthalmoplegia, muscle cramps, hyperreflexia, and ataxia; see 125250. There appears to be a wide range of intermediate phenotypes (Yu-Wai-Man et al., 2010). Yu-Wai-Man et al. (2009) provided a detailed review of autosomal dominant optic atrophy and Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON; 535000), with emphasis on the selective vulnerability of retinal ganglion cells to mitochondrial dysfunction in both disorders. - Genetic Heterogeneity of Optic Atrophy Another locus for optic atrophy, OPA2 (311050), has been mapped to chromosome Xp11.4-p11.21. Optic atrophy-3 (OPA3; 165300) is caused by mutation in the OPA3 gene (606580) on chromosome 19q13.2-q13.3. Optic atrophy-4 (OPA4; 605293) has been mapped to chromosome 18q12.2-q12.3, Optic atrophy-5 (OPA5; 610708) to chromosome 22q12.1-q13.1, and optic atrophy-6 (OPA6; 258500) to chromosome 8q. Optic atrophy-7 (OPA7; 612989) is caused by mutation in the TMEM126A gene (612988) on chromosome 11q14.1-q21.;

Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;

Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the OPA1 mitochondrial dynamin-like GTPase gene (OPA1, 605290.0001);

Prefixed ID : #165500;
