Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) is primarily caused by pathogenic mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variants, most commonly the m.11778G>A variant in the MT-ND4 gene. The presence of this variant alone is insufficient to trigger disease symptoms, of which vision loss is the hallmark. Given the incomplete penetrance and inter-population variability in modifying factors, this study aimed to investigate two previously proposed genetic risk factors for LHON in the Polish population. Using quantitat...
