Optic disc morphology of patients with OPA1 autosomal dominant optic atrophy

Table 1

Optic nerve features of 29 patients from 12 families with OPA1 ADOA in whom clinical examination data and review of disc photographs were carried out

No of eyes
Pedigree Mutation or linkage Location in OPA1 gene: Exon/intron Predicted protein domain affected Affected individuals with photographs Mean age at exam (years) Age range at exam (years) Best VA range With temporal disc pallor With total disc pallor With temporal pigment crescent With PPA With CDR>0.5
VA = visual acuity in Snellen. PPA = peripapillary atrophy. CDR = cup to disc ratio. *OPA1 mutation not detected on screening.
Putative protein domains OPA1- highly basic mitochondrial leader domain: exons 1-2. Coiled-coil domain 5b, 6, 7. GTPase domain: 8-15. Dynamin central domain: 16-24. Coiled coil C-terminal: 27, 28.
