Optic Atrophy Type 5

Optic Atrophy 5

Clinical presentation can be highly variable. The visual impairment is usually moderate, but ranges from severe (legal blindness with acuity OPA1, which encodes a mitochondrial inner membrane protein. Optic atrophy can also be syndromic. [blueprintgenetics.com]

Individuals typically present with bilateral and slow vision loss starting in the first or second decade of life. [eyewiki.aao.org]

BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT INVENTION Optic neuropathy or, often called, optic atrophy describes the loss of some or most of the fibers of the optic nerve. [google.sr]

However, pendular and triangular waveforms may also be present. The nystagmus may rarely be vertical. [diseaseinfosearch.org]

The work presented in this thesis provides further insight into the molecular and genetic basis of two classical forms of inherited optic neuropathy, namely autosomal dominant optic atrophy (DOA) and Wolfram syndrome. [ethos.bl.uk]

  • Rigor

  • Central Scotoma

    METHOD: Three patients with bilateral optic atrophy and central scotomas of their visual fields were clinically diagnosed with ADOA. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    Humphrey visual field test shows cecocentral scotoma in right eye and central scotoma in left eye. [eyewiki.aao.org]

    Visual field testing reveals a central scotoma, a cecocentral scotoma or an enlarged blind spot. There may be extension of the scotoma to the superior temporal field in late stages. OCT shows thinning of the nerve fiber layer. [healio.com]

  • Suggestibility

    Cell biological findings suggest that OPA1 is regulated by post-translational mechanisms and we would like to hypothesize that loss of OPA1 function might lead to impaired mitochondrial quality control. [publikationen.ub.uni-frankfurt.de]

    Other optic nerve findings suggestive of ADOA include an increased cup-to-disc ratio (48%), temporal gray crescent (31%) and peripapillary atrophy (69%). [healio.com]

    The strong association of OPA1 with membranes suggests its anchoring to the inner membrane [21]. [wikigenes.org]

    Blueprint Genetics' Plus Analysis (Seq Del/Dup) maximizes the chance to find a molecular genetic diagnosis for your patient although Sequence Analysis or Del/Dup Analysis may be a cost-effective first line test if your patient's phenotype is suggestive [blueprintgenetics.com]

    Despite recent data suggesting that the condition is more common than previously thought (the estimated minimum prevalence in a population in northern England is 4.07/100.000, or about 1 in 25.000), ADOA is more rarely reported in Asia. [iovs.arvojournals.org]

  • Impulsivity

    Optic atrophy is a condition that affects the optic nerve, which carries impulses from the eye to the brain. Optic atrophy type 1 (OA1) is clinically characterized by progressive decrease in visual acuity from early childhood onwards. [blueprintgenetics.com]
