  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

A 12-year-old boy developed bilateral optic atrophy following presumed acute retrobulbar optic neuritis of idiopathic etiology. Three years later, his younger brother developed similar optic neuropathy. Analysis of mitochondrial DNA showed a mutation at mtDNA 11778 in both cases, leading to the diagnosis of Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy. Similar mtDNA anomaly was identified in their mother, showing her to be an asymptomatic carrier of the disease.
