Abstract:Heterozygous mutations in the OPA3 gene are associated with autosomal dominant optic atrophy‐3 (OPA3), whereas biallelic mutations cause autosomal recessive 3‐methylglutaconic aciduria type III. To date, all cases with pathogenic variants in the gene OPA3 have presented with optic atrophy. We report a large family with congenital cataracts, hearing loss and neuropathy, with a likely pathogenic novel missense variant in OPA3, c.30G>C; p.(Lys10Asn) that segregates with disease in the family pedigree. The fami… Show more
