Non‐bullous ichthyosiform erythroderma (NBIE) is an autosomal recessive condition characterized by generalized erythema and scaling. Two brothers with NBIE and retinitis pigmentosa are reported. One of them also had a marfanoid habitus, thoracic kyphosis, and arachnodactyly, and was heterozygous for alpha 1 antitrypsin deficiency. A third brother had skin involvement, but normal vision. Retinitis pigmentosa has been described in association with NBIE as part of Rud syndrome, which is no longer considered a separate entity. Major diagnostic features of Rud syndrome, such as hypogonadism, mental retardation, and epilepsy were absent in this family. The association of NBIE with retinitis pigmentosa in this family seems distinct from any previously described, currently recognized syndrome. © 2001 Wiley‐Liss. Inc. 相似文献

视网膜色素变性患者中视网膜色素变性1基因点突变的研究 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
目的 研究中国视网膜色素变性(retinitis pigmentosa,RP)患者RP1基因的突变频率、特征及其在RP发病机理中所起的作用。方法 运用构象敏感凝胶电泳(conformation sensitive gel electrophoresis,CSGE)和DNA直接测序方法对101例香港地区RP患者的RP1基因全编码区进行突变的筛选与检测。结果 101例RP患者中检出1例患者携带常见的RP1致病突变-R677X,另外在3名正常个体及1例Stargardt患者中检出非致病的无义突变-R1933X。RP1基因在所有RP患者中的突变检出率为1/101。突变最终导致RP1蛋白严重截短。此外,在本研究人群中还发现10个错义突变,除M479I的病理意义未确定之外,其余均系RP1基因的多态现象。结论 R1933X无致病意义,提示羧基端224个氨基酸的区域可能为RP1蛋白非功能区,结合最近发现的RP1羧基端的移码突变-Y1053(1bp del)的病理意义,推测RP1蛋白中相应片段(密码子1052-1933)的缺失会导致RP的发生。为证实这种推测,大范围的RP1基因分型工作是有必要的,并且可同时发现更多的RP致病突变以及不同于其他种族人群的RP1基因多态变化。 相似文献

Mutations in the gene SCAPER (S ‐phase C yclinA A ssociated P rotein residing in the E ndoplasmic R eticulum) have recently been identified as causing syndromic autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa with the extraocular manifestations of intellectual disability and attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder. We present the case of an 11‐year‐old boy that presented to our clinic with the complaint of decreased night vision. Clinical presentation, family history, and diagnostic imaging were congruent with the diagnosis of autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa. Genetic testing of the patient and both parents via whole‐exome sequencing revealed the homozygous mutation c.2023‐2A>G in SCAPER. Unique to our patient's presentation is the absence of intellectual disability and attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder, suggesting that SCAPER‐associated retinitis pigmentosa can also present without systemic manifestations. 相似文献

A family is presented with multiple cases of mild mental retardation, schizophrenia and other functional psychoses, progressive hearing loss, and retinitis pigmentosa (RP). It closely resembles a previously reported Finnish family. We suggest that the phenotypes are not associated in this family by chance, but define a novel syndrome which may be caused by a mutant allele at a single genetic locus. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

The gene SNRNP200 is composed of 45 exons and encodes a protein essential for pre-mRNA splicing, the 200 kDa helicase hBrr2. Two mutations in SNRNP200 have recently been associated with autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (adRP), a retinal degenerative disease, in two families from China. In this work we analyzed the entire 35-Kb SNRNP200 genomic region in a cohort of 96 unrelated North American patients with adRP. To complete this large-scale sequencing project, we performed ultra high-throughput sequencing of pooled, untagged PCR products. We then validated the detected DNA changes by Sanger sequencing of individual samples from this cohort and from an additional one of 95 patients. One of the two previously known mutations (p.S1087L) was identified in 3 patients, while 4 new missense changes (p.R681C, p.R681H, p.V683L, p.Y689C) affecting highly conserved codons were identified in 6 unrelated individuals, indicating that the prevalence of SNRNP200-associated adRP is relatively high. We also took advantage of this research to evaluate the pool-and-sequence method, especially with respect to the generation of false positive and negative results. We conclude that, although this strategy can be adopted for rapid discovery of new disease-associated variants, it still requires extensive validation to be used in routine DNA screenings. 相似文献

Two hundred and twenty-nine symptomatic patients with retinitis pigmentosa were ascertained in Slovenia between 1986 and 1990. Twenty-three further patients were identified while data from 63 families (82 patients) were being collected. After correction for underascertainment, a prevalence of 1 in 6023 was estimated in the Slovene population (1,999,477 in 1990). The highest prevalence of 1 in 1902 was found in the age group 65 years and older. Of 63 analysed families, 17 (27%) showed autosomal dominant, 13 (21%) autosomal recessive, and one family (1.5%) X-linked inheritance; in 30 families (47.5%) isolated cases were found; and in two families the mode of inheritance was impossible to determine. 相似文献

Molecular diagnostics for patients with retinitis pigmentosa (RP) has been hampered by extreme genetic and clinical heterogeneity, with 52 causative genes known to date. Here, we developed a comprehensive next-generation sequencing (NGS) approach for the clinical molecular diagnostics of RP. All known inherited retinal disease genes (n = 111) were captured and simultaneously analyzed using NGS in 100 RP patients without a molecular diagnosis. A systematic data analysis pipeline was developed and validated to prioritize and predict the pathogenicity of all genetic variants identified in each patient, which enabled us to reduce the number of potential pathogenic variants from approximately 1,200 to zero to nine per patient. Subsequent segregation analysis and in silico predictions of pathogenicity resulted in a molecular diagnosis in 36 RP patients, comprising 27 recessive, six dominant, and three X-linked cases. Intriguingly, De novo mutations were present in at least three out of 28 isolated cases with causative mutations. This study demonstrates the enormous potential and clinical utility of NGS in molecular diagnosis of genetically heterogeneous diseases such as RP. De novo dominant mutations appear to play a significant role in patients with isolated RP, having major implications for genetic counselling. 相似文献

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a heterogeneous set of inherited retinopathies with many disease‐causing genes, many known mutations, and highly varied clinical consequences. Progress in finding treatments is dependent on determining the genes and mutations causing these diseases, which includes both gene discovery and mutation screening in affected individuals and families. Despite the complexity, substantial progress has been made in finding RP genes and mutations. Depending on the type of RP, and the technology used, it is possible to detect mutations in 30–80% of cases. One of the most powerful approaches to genetic testing is high‐throughput ‘deep sequencing’, that is, next‐generation sequencing (NGS). NGS has identified several novel RP genes but a substantial fraction of previously unsolved cases have mutations in genes that are known causes of retinal disease but not necessarily RP. Apparent discrepancy between the molecular defect and clinical findings may warrant reevaluation of patients and families. In this review, we summarize the current approaches to gene discovery and mutation detection for RP, and indicate pitfalls and unsolved problems. Similar considerations apply to other forms of inherited retinal disease. 相似文献

Using RFLP studies, the disease locus in two X-linked retinitis pigmentosa families was found to be centromeric to DXS7 in one family and telomeric to DXS7 in another, suggesting non-allelic heterogeneity. 相似文献

Retinitis pigmentosa is an inherited progressive disease which is a major cause of blindness in western communities. It can be inherited as an autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, or X-linked recessive disorder. In the autosomal dominant form (adRP), which comprises about 25% of total cases, approximately 30% of families have mutations in the gene encoding the rod photoreceptor-specific protein rhodopsin. This is the transmembrane protein which, when photoexcited, initiates the visual transduction cascade. So far, 41 single-base-pair (bp) substitutions, one two-bp substitution, and four deletions ranging from 3 to 42 bp have been identified in this gene. These mutations do not appear to be significantly clustered in a specific part of the protein, but occur in all three major domains, namely the intradiscal, transmembrane, and cytoplasmic regions. Different mutations appear to cause differences in the severity of the disease, though there is considerable variability in severity even within the same family, at least in certain of these mutations. Identification of all the mutations involved in rhodopsin-RP should allow accurate and early detection of affected individuals, informed genetic counselling, as well as furthering our knowledge of the disease process involved. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

X-linked forms of retinitis pigmentosa (XLRP) are among the most severe because of their early onset, often leading to significant visual impairment before the fourth decade. RP3, genetically localized at Xp21.1, accounts for 70% of XLRP in different populations. The RPGR (Retinitis Pigmentosa GTPase Regulator) gene that was isolated from the RP3 region is mutated in 20% of North American families with XLRP. From mutation analysis of 27 independent XLRP families, we have identified five novel RPGR mutations in 5 of the families (160delA, 789 A>T, IVS8+1 G>C, 1147insT and 1366 G>A). One of these mutations was detected in a family from Chile. Hum Mutat 17:151, 2001. 相似文献

Proteins PRPF31, PRPF3 and PRPF8 (RP-PRPFs) are ubiquitously expressed components of the spliceosome, a macromolecular complex that processes nearly all pre-mRNAs. Although these spliceosomal proteins are conserved in eukaryotes and are essential for survival, heterozygous mutations in human RP-PRPF genes lead to retinitis pigmentosa, a hereditary disease restricted to the eye. Using cells from patients with 10 different mutations, we show that all clinically relevant RP-PRPF defects affect the stoichiometry of spliceosomal small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs), the protein composition of tri-small nuclear ribonucleoproteins and the kinetics of spliceosome assembly. These mutations cause inefficient splicing in vitro and affect constitutive splicing ex-vivo by impairing the removal of at least 9% of endogenously expressed introns. Alternative splicing choices are also affected when RP-PRPF defects are present. Furthermore, we show that the steady-state levels of snRNAs and processed pre-mRNAs are highest in the retina, indicating a particularly elevated splicing activity. Our results suggest a role for PRPFs defects in the etiology of PRPF-linked retinitis pigmentosa, which appears to be a truly systemic splicing disease. Although these mutations cause widespread and important splicing defects, they are likely tolerated by the majority of human tissues but are critical for retinal cell survival. 相似文献

Immunological evaluation of 20 patients with retinitis pigmentosa (RP) revealed significantly diminished circulating T-lymphocyte numbers and function and a high frequency of serum antibodies to human IgG in comparison with a healthy matched control population. However, these differences were due to severely abnormal results found in one subpopulation within the total patient group; this dichotomy was unrelated to the mode of inheritance or clinical severity of RP in individual patients. Thus, RP appears to be a syndrome rather than a disease and includes a form characterized by defective immunity. Whether this is involved in the pathogenesis of the retinal degenerative process is conjectural. 相似文献

We analyzed 151 pedigrees (209 cases) of retinitis pigmentosa in Shanghai, China. Of the 209 cases, the proportion of autosomal recessive (AR), autosomal dominant (AD), X-linked recessive (XR), and simplex cases is 33.1, 11, 7.7, and 48.3% respectively. The average age of onset was 24.7 years in the AD type, 22.9 years in the AR and five years in the XR type. The average refractive errors were ?1.88 D in the AD type, ?2.37 D in the AR type, and ?5.72 D in the XR type. In addition, 24, 100 persons were screened and six cases of retinitis pigmentosa were found. The gene frequencies of the AR (including simplex cases), AD, and XR types as calculated from the disease prevalence were 0.0142267, 0.0000137, and 0.0000384, respectively. The gene frequency of the AR type as calculated from the frequency of consanguinity (15.9%) was 0.00389, which is much less than that calculated from the prevalence. The probable explanation is that the AR type of retinitis pigmentosa really consists of several different disease entities, with each entity representing a separate gene mutation. The number of different mutations within the AR group is estimated to lie between 11 and 41. 相似文献
