Brief summary

Study of the efficiency of Béfizal® 200 mg in 14 adult patients with a LHON that occurred for less than 5 years. Patient must have certain specific mutations

Detailed description

Study of the efficiency of Béfizal® 200 mg in 14 adult patients in whom the diagnosis of LHON obtained on anamnestic, clinical and ancillary testing / laboratory data. LHON should have occurred for less than 5 years and must be genetically proved with a 3460 or 11778 mitochondrial DNA mutation. Given the mode of transmission, genetic research may have been carried out in a maternal relative

Inclusion criteria

* Adult patients in whom the diagnosis of LHON obtained on anamnestic, clinical and ancillary testing / laboratory data. LHON should have occurred for less than 5 years and must be genetically proved with a 3460 or 11778 mitochondrial DNA mutation. Given the mode of transmission, genetic research may have been carried out in a maternal relative

Exclusion criteria
