| Core Tip |
Optic neuritis (ON) is affected by sex at all levels, from molecular biology to clinical outcomes. Women are considerably more predisposed to developing ON, particularly in aquaporin 4 IgG positive neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder. Men frequently experience more severe long-term neuroaxonal damage. The interaction of genetic, hormonal, metabolic, and behavioral variables highlights the necessity for sex-specific strategies in the diagnosis, treatment, and research of ON. Comprehending these distinctions is crucial for enhancing individualized treatment in ON across various demyelinating conditions. |
