Descriptor English: Optic Atrophy, Hereditary, Leber
Descriptor Spanish: Atrofia Óptica Hereditaria de Leber
Descriptor atrofia óptica hereditaria de Leber
Entry term(s) atrofia óptica de Leber hereditaria
Scope note: Trastorno genético de causa materna que se manifiesta en la etapa media de la vida adulta como pérdida aguda o subaguda de la visión central que conduce a escotoma central y ceguera. Se ha asociado con mutaciones de sentido erróneo del ADNmt en los genes de los polipéptidos de los Complejos I, III y IV, que pueden actuar de modo autónomo o asociados entre sí para causar la enfermedad.

Scope note: A maternally linked genetic disorder that presents in mid-life as acute or subacute central vision loss leading to central scotoma and blindness. The disease has been associated with missense mutations in the mtDNA, in genes for Complex I, III, and IV polypeptides, that can act autonomously or in association with each other to cause the disease.
