Efficient mitochondrial biogenesis drives incomplete penetrance in Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy

The mechanisms of incomplete penetrance in Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy are elusive. Giordano et al. show that mitochondrial DNA content and mitochondrial mass are both increased in tissues and cells from unaffected mutation carriers relative to affected relatives and control individuals. Upr...
