AIM: To analyze the influences of different genotypes (G11778A, T14484C and G3460A) of Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) on visual prognosis. @@@ METHODS: After a systematic literature search, all relevant studies evaluating the association between the three primary mutations of LHON and visual prognosis were included. All statistical tests were calculated with Revman 5.2 and STATA 12.0. @@@ RESULTS: Ten independent studies were included finally. A significant association between the three primary mutations and prognostic vision over 0.3 were found in G11778A versus T14484C [odds ratio (OR)=0.10, 95% confidence interval (CI)=0.05-0.17, P<0.001], G11778A versus G3460A (OR=0.18, 95%CI=0.09-0.37, P<0.001) and T14484C versus G3460A (OR=2.45, 95%CI=1.10-5.48, P<0.05). In addition, obtained by pairwise comparison, the vision during onset, age of onset and sex ratio of these three kinds of patients, have no statistical significance (P>0.05). @@@ CONCLUSION: From pairwise comparison, we conclude that these three different genotypes of LHON are related to patients visual prognosis. The T14484C patients might have a best prognostic vision, G3460A second, and G11778A worst. And there is little relation between the three different genotypes and patients vision, age of onset and sex ratio.
