Mitochondrial (mt) DNA from a Southern Italian family with Leber hereditary optic neuropathy was analyzed for the presence of the reported mutation at position 11778 of the ND4 subunit gene. The point mutation was found in mt DNA extracted from peripheral blood in all members of the family with the exclusion of the father, and was present in a homoplasmic fashion, despite the phenotypic heterogeneity of disease presentation among family members.

Abstract

Mitochondrial (mt) DNA from a Southern Italian family with Leber hereditary optic neuropathy was analyzed for the presence of the reported mutation at position 11778 of the ND4 subunit gene. The point mutation was found in mt DNA extracted from peripheral blood in all members of the family with the exclusion of the father, and was present in a homoplasmic fashion, despite the phenotypic heterogeneity of disease presentation among family members.
