Mitochondrial dynamics are represented by mitochondrial fission processes controlled by mitofusin 1 (MFN1), MFN2, OPA1 (a gene encoding a dynamin-like mitochondrial GTPase involved in autosomal dominant optic atrophy) and fusion processes regulated by dynamic-related protein 1 (DRP1) [111]. This evidence concerns the gene MFN2 and autosomal dominant optic atrophy.
