Dear Colleagues,

I would greatly appreciate access to the follow-up information of the patients described in “Shoffner JM, Brown MD, Stugard C, Jun AS, Pollock S, Haas RH,Kaufman A, Koontz D, Kim Y, Graham JR, et al. 1995. Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy plus dystonia is caused by a mitochondrial DNA point mutation. Ann Neurol 38:163–169.”.

How has the disease caused by the 14459 mtDNA mutation (Complex I, subunit 6) evolved over time in the Hispanic family, the Caucasian girl and the African-American mother-daughter? Have the silent basal ganglia lesions in the then 19 year old African –American woman remained asymptomatic? Many thanks.
