| MeSH description: Hereditary conditions that feature progressive visual loss in association with optic atrophy. Relatively common forms include autosomal dominant optic atrophy and Leber hereditary optic neuropathy. The latter is a rare, maternal linked, genetic disorder that is characterized by progressive bilateral optic nerve degeneration. Male offspring are predominantly affected and develop a loss of central vision in the second or third decade of life. Retinal ganglion cells and optic nerve axons that subserve central vision degenerate. The disease is associated with missense mutations of mitochondrial DNA. In some pedigrees this condition is associated with dystonia, sensory neuropathies, pre-excitation syndromes, and other disorders.
