Idiopathic bilateral optic atrophy in the rhesus macaque.
PURPOSE To document the existence of idiopathic bilateral optic atrophy (BOA) in rhesus macaque monkeys and to characterize the structural and functional consequences of this condition. METHODS In vivo assessment of retinal and optic nerve structure included fundus biomicroscopy and stereophotography. Functional analyses included transient pattern-reversal electroretinography (PERG) and full-...
متن کاملBilateral striatal necrosis, dystonia and optic atrophy in two siblings.
Two siblings developed a neurological disorder in the first decade characterised by generalised dystonia, hypokinesia, and subacute visual loss. CT and serial MRI examinations showed bilateral lesions of the striatum, mainly in the putamen.

متن کاملOPA1 analysis in an international series of probands with bilateral optic atrophy.
PURPOSE To determine the molecular genetic cause in previously unreported probands with optic atrophy from the United Kingdom, Czech Republic and Canada. METHODS OPA1 coding regions and flanking intronic sequences were screened by direct sequencing in 82 probands referred with a diagnosis of bilateral optic atrophy. Detected rare variants were assessed for pathogenicity by in silico analysis....
