Description
Summary:Hereditary optic neuropathies (HON) - a group of neurodegenerative diseases characterized by primary loss of structure and function of the retinal ganglion cells and subsequent death of their axons, development of partial optic nerve atrophy. Autosomal dominant optic neuropathy and Leber`s hereditary optic neuropathy until recently were considered the most common genetic hereditary optic neuropathies, while autosomal recessive optic neuropathies (ARON) were described as rare types of HON, usually accompanying severe syndromic pathologies. In the 2000s it has become clear that ARON occur significantly more often, are underestimated, and their clinical variability is poorly studied. Despite the fact that non-syndromic ARON are less common than syndromic optic neuropathies, their contribution to the development of isolated hereditary optic neuropathies should be considered. This article presents a literature review on non-syndromic ARON developing as a result of mutations in the genes.
