Disease relevance of OPA2

 

High impact information on OPA2

  • Twenty-four new localizations have been established, including five in previously reported conditions (FG, Carpenter, Arts, OPA2, and OFD1) [2].
  • A family with X-linked optic atrophy linked to the OPA2 locus Xp11.4-Xp11.2 [3].
  • Preliminary linkage analysis (LOD score = 1.8) revealed that the disease gene localized to the OPA2 locus on Xp11.4-Xp11 [3].
  • Linkage analysis excluded OPA1 and OPA2 [4].
