Characterization of SSBP1-related optic atrophy and foveopathy

Abstract Dominant optic atrophy (DOA) is genetically heterogeneous and most commonly caused by mutations in OPA1. To distinguish between the classical OPA1-related and the recently identified SSBP1-related DOAs, the retina and fovea of 27 patients carrying the SSBP1 p.Arg38Gln variant were scrutiniz...
