Mitochondrial Genetic Heterogeneity in Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy: Original Study with Meta-Analysis.


ABSTRACT: Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) is a mitochondrial disorder that causes loss of central vision. Three primary variants (m.3460G>A, m.11778G>A, and m.14484T>C) and about 16 secondary variants are responsible for LHON in the majority of the cases. We investigated the complete mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences of 189 LHON patients and found a total of 54 disease-linked pathogenic variants. The primary variants m.11778G>A and m.14484T>C were accountable for only 14.81% and 2.64% cases, respectively. Patients with these two variants also possessed additional disease-associated variants. Among 156 patients who lacked the three primary variants, 16.02% harboured other LHON-associated variants either alone or in combination with other disease-associated variants. Furthermore, we observed that none of the haplogroups were explicitly associated with LHON. We performed a meta-analysis of m.4216T>C and m.13708G>A and found a significant association of these two variants with the LHON phenotype. Based on this study, we recommend the use of complete mtDNA sequencing to diagnose LHON, as we found disease-associated variants throughout the mitochondrial genome.
