The article offers a review of mitochondrial biogenesis in hereditary optic neuropathies. It covers the mechanisms of mitochondrial biogenesis, factors affecting it and tools for mitochondrial turnover assessment.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D009901	Optic Nerve Diseases	Conditions which produce injury or dysfunction of the second cranial or optic nerve, which is generally considered a component of the central nervous system. Damage to optic nerve fibers may occur at or near their origin in the retina, at the optic disk, or in the nerve, optic chiasm, optic tract, or lateral geniculate nuclei. Clinical manifestations may include decreased visual acuity and contrast sensitivity, impaired color vision, and an afferent pupillary defect.

D004272	DNA, Mitochondrial	Double-stranded DNA of MITOCHONDRIA. In eukaryotes, the mitochondrial GENOME is circular and codes for ribosomal RNAs, transfer RNAs, and about 10 proteins.	Mitochondrial DNA,mtDNA

D001678	Organelle Biogenesis	The natural growth and development within living CELLS.	Mitochondrial Biogenesis,Biogeneses, Organelle,Biogenesis, Mitochondrial,Biogenesis, Organelle,Organelle Biogeneses
D012165	Retinal Ganglion Cells	Neurons of the innermost layer of the retina, the internal plexiform layer. They are of variable sizes and shapes, and their axons project via the OPTIC NERVE to the brain. A small subset of these cells act as photoreceptors with projections to the SUPRACHIASMATIC NUCLEUS, the center for regulating CIRCADIAN RHYTHM.
