[Analysis of disease-causing gene mutation in three Chinese families with congenital inherited cataract].
2018
Objective
To identify the disease-causing gene mutations in three Chinese pedigrees affected with congenital inherited cataract, in ordre to provide genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis.
Methods
Using exons combined target region capture sequencing chip to screen the candidate disease-causing mutations, Sanger sequencing was used to confirm the disease-causing mutations.
Results
Family 1 was polymorphic cataract, family 2 was cerulean cataract, family 3 was coralliform cataract. The inheritance mode of the three pedigrees consisted with autosomal dominant inheritance. In family 1, a nonsense mutation of CRYβB2 gene c. 463C>T in exon 6 result in a p. Q155X amino acid change. In family 2, a missense mutation of of CRYGD gene c. 43C>T in exon 2 result in a p. R14C amino acid change. In family 3, a missense mutation of CRYGD gene c. 70C>A in exon 2 result in a p. P23T amino aid change. No above-mentioned mutations were found in normal individuals.
Conclusion
The nonsense mutation c. 463C>T(p.Q155X) of CRYβB2 gene, the heterozygous mutations c. 43C>T(p.R14C) of CRYGD gene and c. 70C>A( p. P23T) of CRYGD gene was the disease-causing gene mutation in family 1, 2 and 3 respectively, our results provid genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis for these three families.
