OPA1 R445H mutation in optic atrophy associated with sensorineural deafness

Abstract: The heterozygous R445H mutation in OPA1 was found in five patients with optic atrophy and deafness. Audiometry suggested that the sensorineural deafness resulted from auditory neuropathy. Skin fibroblasts showed hyperfragmentation of the mitochondrial network, decreased mitochondrial membrane potential, and adenosine triphosphate synthesis defect. In addition, OPA1 was found to be widely expressed in the sensory and neural cochlear cells of the guinea pig. Thus, optic atrophy and deafness may be related to ene… Show more

“…The involvement of optic nerves as well as the post-lingual onset is inconsistent with mutations of both otoferlin (Rodriguez-Ballesteros et al, 2003) and pejvakin genes (Delmaghani et al, 2006). Mutations affecting mitochondrial functions of both optic and auditory nerves are candidate etiologies in these patients (Ceranić and Luxon, 2004;Amati-Bonneau et al, 2005).…”

“…The gene encoding for Opa1 is composed of 30 exons, and at least eight mRNA isoforms arising from alternative splicing and with tissue-specific expression have been identified (Delettre et al, 2001). A total of 83 family-specific mutations have been associated with ADOA so far, and their number seems to be growing (Alexander et al, 2000;Delettre et al, 2000Delettre et al, , 2001Delettre et al, , 2002Pesch et al, 2001;Thiselton et al, 2001Thiselton et al, , 2002Toomes et al, 2001;Marchbank et al, 2002;Shimizu et al, 2002;Amati-Bonneau et al, 2005;Ferre et al, 2005). About half of the mutations associated with the disease are located within the GTPase domain, suggesting that pathogenesis is related to loss of function of the protein and haploinsufficiency in patients with mutation on a single allele (Ferre et al, 2005).…”

“…Nevertheless, the protein is expressed in all examined human tissues, explaining the accidental development of the so-called 'ADOA +' forms characterized by the association of the blindness with various neuromuscular disorders [17][18][19] or hearing loss [20,21]. The vulnerability of retinal ganglion cells and that of spiral ganglion cells in the inner ear [22] has been attributed to the impairment of ATP production as observed in fibroblasts [23,24] or skeletal muscle [25].…”
