Leber Hereditary Optic Neuropathy-Associated Novel Mutation in MT-RNR2 Gene: A Case Report

<i>MT-RNR2</i> gene mutation was the possible cause for LHON in this patient. Herein, we describe a novel mutation and associated clinical features. This case report also underscores the importance of considering LHON as a differential diagnosis for optic neuritis, even in a patient with an established MS.

Abstract

<i>MT-RNR2</i> gene mutation was the possible cause for LHON in this patient. Herein, we describe a novel mutation and associated clinical features. This case report also underscores the importance of considering LHON as a differential diagnosis for optic neuritis, even in a patient with an established MS.
