[Leber's optic atrophy - an interdisciplinary study (author's transl)].
Clinical-neurological, electrocephalographic, ophthalmological and genetic observations of a family with related persons with Leber's optic atrophy is described. 6 male subjects of the altogether ca. 100 members of the family tree stretching over 4 generations were manifestly affected relatives - that is possible carriers, an unusually large number of EEG's were abnormal, and, less often, colour vision disturbances were seen. The results suggest that Leber's optic atrophy is a hereditary neuro-ophthalmological systemic condition, whose most striking symptom is the optic atrophy. The genetic factors of the condition are also discussed.
