Biallelic Optic Atrophy 1 (OPA1) Related Disorder-Case Report and Literature Review.

ABSTRACT: Dominant optic atrophy (DOA), MIM # 605290, is the most common hereditary optic neuropathy inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. Clinically, it presents a progressive decrease in vision, central visual field defects, and retinal ganglion cell loss. A biallelic mode of inheritance causes syndromic DOA or Behr phenotype, MIM # 605290. This case report details a family with Biallelic Optic Atrophy 1 (OPA1). The proband is a child with a severe phenotype and two variants in the OPA1 gene. He presented with congenital nystagmus, progressive vision loss, and optic atrophy, as well as progressive ataxia, and was found to have two likely pathogenic variants in his OPA1 gene: c.2287del (p.Ser763Valfs*15) maternally inherited and c.1311A>G (p.lIle437Met) paternally inherited. The first variant
