Clinical Features of MS Associated with Leber Hereditary Optic Neuropathy mtDNA Mutations
Neurol 81:2073-2081, Pfeffer, G.,et al, 2013
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Although the co-occurrence of MS and LHON mtDNA mutations is likely to be due to chance, the resulting disorder has a distinct phenotype, implicating a mechanistic interaction. Patients with LHON-MS have a more aggressive course, and prognostication and treatment should be guarded.
