    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Genetics
    • Medical Research

    Background:

    • Autosomal dominant infantile optic nerve atrophy is a rare inherited condition.
    • Understanding its genetic basis and clinical manifestations is crucial for diagnosis and management.

    Observation:

    • A family spanning three generations exhibited autosomal dominant infantile optic nerve atrophy.
    • Five individuals (two males, three females) were affected with varying degrees of disease severity.

    Findings:

    • Clinical presentation included simple optic nerve atrophy with diverse expressivity.
    • Functional and fluoroangiographic changes correlated with the clinical picture.
    • Color vision deficits ranged from deuteroanomaly to deuteroanopia, with the proband also experiencing tritanopia.

    Implications:

    • This case study contributes to the understanding of hereditary optic neuropathies.
    • Highlights the importance of genetic counseling and ophthalmological evaluation in affected families.
    • Further research may elucidate specific genetic mutations and therapeutic targets.
