Dominant optic atrophy (DOA) is genetically heterogeneous and most commonly caused by mutations in OPA1. To distinguish between the classical OPA1-related and the recently identified SSBP1-related DOAs, the retina and fovea of 27 patients carrying the SSBP1 p.Arg38Gln variant were scrutinized using 20° × 20° macular cube and 30° and 55° field fundus autofluorescence photographs. This evidence concerns the gene OPA1 and autosomal dominant optic atrophy.
