Researchers have identified a new genetic cause of hereditary optic atrophy-a condition that leads to gradual vision loss-by discovering a previously unknown mutation in the PPIB gene. This gene helps proteins fold properly and ensures healthy mitochondrial function, both of which are disrupted in affected individuals.
