LHON Forum 2022

Doheny Eye Institute 150 North Orange Grove Blvd. Rm 264, Pasadena, CA, United States

Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) is a blinding mitochondrial disease that disproportionately affects young men. The diagnosis can be challenging with significant delays before a confirmed molecular diagnosis is reached. In this LHON Forum, we will discuss exciting developments in the field highlighting how a deeper understanding of the pathological mechanisms contributing to retinal ganglion cell loss is shaping the therapeutic landscape for this inherited optic nerve disorder.

Register for the LHON Forum 2022, November 28 at 20:00 hrs CET (11:00 am PST)
Register by contacting Gerard Bienfait at
A live broadcast from Doheny Eye Institute, Pasadena USA
Title: The current state of understanding and treatment for LHON

Chair: Professor Patrick Yu Wai Man (Cambridge, UK)
Genetics: Professor Valerio Carelli (Bologna, Italy)
Mechanisms/pathways: Professor Alfredo A. Sadun (Los Angeles, USA)
Diagnose: Dr. Chiara La Morgia (Bologna, Italy)
Discussion

Block 2

Chair: Professor Patrick Yu Wai Man (Cambridge, UK)
LEROS: Professor Thomas Klopstock (Munich, Germany)

LHON Forum 2023

Digital

Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) is a blinding mitochondrial disease that disproportionately affects young men. The diagnosis can be challenging with significant delays before a confirmed molecular diagnosis is reached. In this LHON Forum, we will discuss exciting developments in the field highlighting how a deeper understanding of the pathological mechanisms contributing to retinal ganglion cell loss is shaping the therapeutic landscape for this inherited optic nerve disorder.

Dr. Alfredo Sadun presented the keynote lecture “The optic nerve in mitochondrial neurological conditions”, at the EUROMIT 2023 meeting in Bologna, Italy; Upcoming: Dr. Sadun will participate in a webinar on Leber Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON) presented by the Optic Nerve Network on July 21, 2023 at 10:00 a.m. He will be discussing mitochondrial gene defects and anatomical and metabolic considerations.
