Abstract
Purpose: To analyze the influence of OPA1 gene mutations on the optic nerve head (ONH) morphology in patients with dominant optic atrophy (DOA). Design: Cross-sectional study. Participants: Twenty-eight patients with DOA from 11 pedigrees, which were positive for the presence of OPA1 gene mutations, and 56 age-matched control subjects, were enrolled. Methods: The ONH of DOA patients was studied by optical coherence tomography and compared with an age-matched control group of 56 individuals. Main Outcome Measures: ONH area, and vertical and horizontal diameters. Results: The ONH analysis of DOA patients showed a significantly smaller optic disc area (P
