Of a family with 40 members 12 had autosomal dominant optic atrophy. The affected members were aware of reduced vision from the 1st decade. Visual loss was moderate to severe, 6/12 (20/40) to 3/60 (10/200). The affected members showed similar centrocecal scotomata. Most affected patients had severe unclassified color defects. Electroretinography measurements were normal in all but 1 patient who had a small reduction in the scotopic response. The pathologic changes in a patient with autosomal dominant optic atrophy showed diffuse atrophy of the ganglion cell layer of the retina with a loss of myelin and nerve tissue within the optic nerves. Autosomal dominant atrophy appears to be a primary degeneration of retinal ganglion cells.
