A Perspective on Accelerated Aging Caused by the Genetic Deficiency of the Metabolic Protein, OPA1
Autosomal Dominant Optic Atrophy (ADOA) is an ophthalmological condition associated primarily with mutations in the OPA1 gene. It has variable onset, sometimes juvenile, but in other patients, the disease does not manifest until adult middle age despite the presence of a pathological mutation. Thus,...
