A Case Report of Unilateral OPA3-Related Dominant Optic Atrophy
Case Rep Ophthalmol. 2025 Dec 11;17(1):81-86. doi: 10.1159/000550003. eCollection 2026 Jan-Dec. ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION: Autosomal dominant optic atrophy (DOA) is an inherited optic neuropathy characterized by progressive bilateral vision loss, cecocentral visual field (VF) defects, and retinal ganglion cell degeneration. Most cases are associated with OPA1 mutations, while OPA3-related DOA is rare and typically involves both […]
Volumetric brain analysis and associated retinal thinning in autosomal dominant optic atrophy patients
Neuroimage Rep. 2026 Jan 6;6(1):100314. doi: 10.1016/j.ynirp.2025.100314. eCollection 2026 Mar. ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION: Dominant optic atrophy (DOA) is an inherited mitochondrial disorder characterized by retinal thinning and progressive visual loss. When accompanied by additional neurological or systemic features, such as progressive external ophthalmoplegia, myopathy, or deafness, it is classified as DOA-plus (DOA+). Although central nervous system […]

Novel DNJ Derivative Ameliorates Cardiac Hypertrophy by Targeting OPA1 and Restoring Mitochondrial Health
Circ Res. 2025 Dec 29. doi: 10.1161/CIRCRESAHA.125.327407. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Pathological cardiac hypertrophy, an abnormal enlargement of cardiomyocytes and interstitial fibrosis in response to sustained injury or pressure overload, may lead to heart failure or even sudden death. Affected patients often also exhibit myocardial mitochondrial dysfunction and associated structural damage. Discovering more […]
Unraveling the genetic spectrum of inherited deaf-blindness in Portugal
Orphanet J Rare Dis. 2025 Jan 14;20(1):22. doi: 10.1186/s13023-025-03542-5. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Syndromic genetic disorders affecting vision can also cause hearing loss, and Usher syndrome is by far the most common etiology. However, many other conditions can present dual sensory impairment. Accurate diagnosis is essential for providing patients with genetic counseling, prognostic information, and appropriate resources. […]
Crouzon Syndrome
2025 May 25. In: StatPearls [Internet]. Treasure Island (FL): StatPearls Publishing; 2025 Jan–. ABSTRACT Crouzon syndrome is a genetically inherited disorder characterized by multiple suture craniosynostosis (premature fusion of the coronal sutures), leading to skull and facial deformities. This condition was first described in 1912 by French physician Octave Crouzon, who identified both a mother […]

Machine Learning Applied to Visual Fields of Dominant Optic Atrophy Patients
Transl Vis Sci Technol. 2025 Jun 2;14(6):20. doi: 10.1167/tvst.14.6.20. ABSTRACT PURPOSE: Identification and quantification of characteristic visual field (VF) patterns in patients with dominant optic atrophy (DOA) using the archetypal analysis (AA) machine learning algorithm. METHODS: In this retrospective study, we collected 30-2 or 24-2 VFs performed with Humphrey Visual Field analyzer from 144 patients […]

2025 Aug 28. In: Adam MP, Bick S, Mirzaa GM, Pagon RA, Wallace SE, Amemiya A, editors. GeneReviews® [Internet]. Seattle (WA): University of Washington, Seattle; 1993–2025. ABSTRACT CLINICAL CHARACTERISTICS: TCIRG1-related osteopetrosis is characterized by growth deficiency, pathologic fractures of dense but brittle bones, limping gait with bone pain, hypocalcemia that can result in seizures, and […]
Longitudinal Visual Biomarkers in Dominant Optic Atrophy: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Clin Exp Ophthalmol. 2025 Aug;53(6):652-659. doi: 10.1111/ceo.14543. Epub 2025 May 7. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Dominant Optic Atrophy (DOA) causes slowly progressive visual decline usually beginning in childhood.
