We have investigated the presence of a point mutation at position 11778 in the ND4 gene of mitochondrial DNA in 17 Japanese families with Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON), and have identified the mutation in 14 (82.4%) of the 17 families. The prevalence of this mutation appears to be much

Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) is characterized by acute or subacute bilateral (usually permanent) loss of central vision, caused by neuroretinal degeneration. The maternal inheritance is explained by the mitochondrial origin of the disease. Recently, a single mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) m
