Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy and Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy.

Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) is a mitochondrial condition that gradually affects the central vision. In the current case report, we present 2 relatives with LHON due to a pathogenic variant within with a clinical phenotype resembling hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, including a short PQ-interval and hypertrophy on electrocardiogram as well as severe hypertrophy of the left ventricle on echocardiography. These findings highlight the importance of offering routine cardiac investigation to patients with LHON and their relatives carrying the variant to hopefully improve correct diagnosis and clinical management of LHON patients.
