PURPOSE: To identify the clinical findings in a Japanese family with X-linked retinitis pigmentosa associated with mutation in codon 253 (Leu253Arg) in the RP2 gene. METHODS: Case reports included clinical features and results of fluorescein angiography, electroretinogram, kinetic visual field testing, and DNA analysis. Two affected hemizygotes with retinitis pigmentosa associated with transversion mutations in codon 253 (Leu253Arg) of the RP2 gene and the obligate carriers were examined. RESULTS: A novel Leu253Arg mutation of the RP2 gene was found to cosegregate with retinal degeneration in two affected males and two carriers in female heterozygote in a Japanese family. The ophthalmic findings in hemizygote showed severe retinal degeneration. In the obligate carrier, mild chorioretinal degeneration was observed in both eyes but a tapetal-like reflex of the fundus was not apparent. CONCLUSIONS: The mutation at codon 253 of the RP2 gene is the first mutation reported in a Japanese family. It is concluded that the mutation of the RP2 gene also causes the X-linked retinitis pigmentosa in Japanese patients.  相似文献

PURPOSE: The 208delG (c.72delG, p.Thr25GlnfsX120) mutation in the FSCN2 gene was reported to cause autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (ADRP) and autosomal dominant macular degeneration (ADMD). The purpose of this study was to detect the 208delG mutation in Chinese individuals, with or without hereditary retinal degeneration. METHODS: DNA fragments encompassing the 208delG mutation were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The amplicons were analyzed by sequencing or/and heteroduplex- single-strand conformational polymorphism (SSCP) analysis. An ophthalmic evaluation was conducted in those individuals with the 208delG mutation. RESULTS: The 208delG mutation was detected in 8 of 242 unrelated probands: 175 with retinitis pigmentosa (RP), 20 with Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA), and 47 with cone-rod dystrophy (CORD). Of the eight, the retinal diseases were RP in six probands, LCA in one proband, and CORD in one proband. The disease was transmitted as an autosomal dominant (one family), autosomal recessive (two families), or sporadic (five families) trait. The mutation did not cosegregate with retinal degeneration in three families, whereas five normal family members also had the mutation. In addition, this mutation was also detected in 13 of 521 unrelated control subjects. CONCLUSIONS: The 208delG mutation in FSCN2 is not associated with hereditary retinal degeneration in the Chinese individuals examined, which contradicts the original report about mutation in FSCN2 as a cause of ADRP and ADMD. This finding reminds us that great care is needed in making mutation-disease associations.  相似文献

PURPOSE: To describe an Italian family in which two separate phenotypes (retinitis pigmentosa and adult onset vitelliform macular dystrophy) are associated with an identical mutation (S212G) in the peripherin/RDS gene. This mutation has already been reported in patients with retinitis pigmentosa, but it has never been previously detected in association with adult onset vitelliform macular dystrophy. METHODS: A 38-year-old woman complained of bilateral mild metamorphopsias and on ophthalmologic examination she showed the clinical phenotype of adult onset vitelliform macular dystrophy. Her 62-year-old mother was clinically diagnosed with a retinitis pigmentosa, with a severe clinical course. RESULTS: In both patients, molecular genetic analysis revealed a 874A-->G transition in the exon 2 of the RDS gene leading to the amino acid change of S212G. CONCLUSIONS: Peripherin/RDS S212G mutation may have damaging effects on the formation and stability of the photoreceptors' disk structure and may be associated with different clinical phenotypes, even in the same family. Intrafamilial phenotypic variability has been reported for other RDS mutations; this supports the possible influence of modifier genes or environmental factors in the clinical expression of RDS gene variants. Moreover, it suggests that in patients with retinal degeneration and peripherin/RDS mutation, caution should be taken both in using molecular genetic results to predict the clinical course of the disease and in offering genetic counseling.  相似文献

Genotype-phenotype correlation of mouse pde6b mutations   总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4  
PURPOSE: To identify the underlying molecular defects causing retinal degeneration in seven N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) induced mutant alleles of the Pde6b gene and to analyze the timescale of retinal degeneration in these new models of retinitis pigmentosa. METHODS: Conformation sensitive capillary electrophoresis and DNA sequencing were used to identify the mutations in the Pde6b gene. Visual acuity testing was performed with a visual-tracking drum at ages ranging from postnatal day 25 to week 10. Retinal examination was performed with an indirect ophthalmoscope. Animals were killed and eyes were prepared for histologic analysis. RESULTS: Point mutations in the seven new alleles of Pde6b were identified: Three generated premature stop codons, two were missense mutations, and two were splice mutations. The three stop codon mutants and one of the splice mutants had phenotypes indistinguishable from the Pde6b(rd1) mouse in rapidity of onset of retinal degeneration, suggesting that they are null alleles. However, the remaining alleles showed slower onset of retinal degeneration, as determined by visual acuity testing, fundus examination, and histology, indicating that they are hypomorphic alleles. CONCLUSIONS: These data demonstrate a correlation between genotype and phenotype. Four of the mutants with severe genetic lesions have rapid onset of retinal degeneration, as determined by fundus examination. These mice were indistinguishable from Pde6b(rd1) mice, which are effectively blind by 3 weeks of age. In contrast, the milder genetic lesions show a slower progression of the disease and provide the community with models that more closely mimic human retinitis pigmentosa.  相似文献

PURPOSE: To compare histopathologic findings in an autopsy eye of an 87-year-old woman with retinitis pigmentosa and the rhodopsin mutation Pro23His with findings in an autopsy eye of a 77-year-old female relative (first cousin) with retinitis pigmentosa and the same mutation. DESIGN: Histopathologic study. METHODS: One eye from each patient was prepared for light and electron microscopy within 5 hours after death. Photoreceptor nuclear counts were performed. RESULTS: Photoreceptor degeneration and intraretinal bone spicule pigmentation were evident in both cases. The younger patient had more extensive photoreceptor loss and more intraretinal pigmentation than her older relative. CONCLUSION: A marked variation in the extent of retinal degeneration can be seen in two relatives with retinitis pigmentosa and rhodopsin, Pro23His. This study supports the idea that factors other than the primary gene defect are responsible for the severity of this condition.  相似文献

Purpose: To clinically characterize a Swedish family with autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa due to a mutation, Arg-172-Trp, in the peripherin/RDS gene. Methods: Full clinical evaluation including kinetic visual field testing, measurement of dark-adaptation threshold, and full-field electroretinography in seven patients with autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa and three healthy family members. Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) was used for mutation screening in seven patients and six healthy members of the family. Results: Three of four siblings from the middle generation and four of the younger generation were heterozygous for the peripherin/RDS Arg-172-Trp mutation. The mutation segregated with the disease. Visual acuity decreased progressively with age and visual fields were moderately constricted in young patients, while central scotoma and constriction of the fields were detected in the family members above 50 years of age. The results from full-field electrography were comparable with a widespread retinal degeneration. Conclusions: Earlier, the peripherin/RDS Arg-172-Trp mutation was associated primarily with a macular degeneration phenotype. One previous study indicated that this mutation also can give rise to a degeneration of the more peripheral parts of the retina. In the present study, a widespread retinal degeneration is seen in the patients above 50 years of age, carrying the Arg-172-Trp mutation.  相似文献

OBJECTIVES: To identify suspected RDS mutations in families in which different people have been identified with either generalised retinal dystrophy or macular dystrophy. METHODS: Two families with a retinal dystrophy were extensively phenotyped and blood was taken for mutation analysis of the RDS (all) and ROM1 (retinitis pigmentosa patients only) genes. RESULTS: A novel p.Trp94X mutation in RDS was found in all three affected members of a two-generation family that was associated with retinitis pigmentosa in the son, pattern dystrophy in the daughter and fundus flavimaculatus in the mother. In the second family, the proband with retinitis pigmentosa carried a p.Arg220Trp mutation. The mother, who was unavailable for mutation screening, had adult vitelliform macular dystrophy. No ROM1 mutations were found in those with retinitis pigmentosa in either family. CONCLUSION: Mutations in RDS can be associated with an intrafamilial variation in retinal disease. The phenotypes range from Stargardt-like macular dystrophy to classic retinitis pigmentosa. Clinical relevance: Intrafamilial phenotypic variation may be due to the presence of environmental or genetic modifying factors. The presence of a modifying-sequence change in the coding region of ROM1 for two people with retinitis pigmentosa from two families with intrafamilial variation in RDS mutation phenotype has been excluded in this study.  相似文献

Mutations in the peripherin/RDS gene have been identified in families with various retinopathies including those affecting primarily the macula and those restricted to the retinal periphery. Here, we describe the clinical findings of two sisters with late-onset central areolar choroidal dystrophy (CACD). The two siblings underwent genetic testing and were found to be carriers of a heterozygous frame-shift mutation 920delT affecting codon 307 of the peripherin/RDS gene and resulting in a truncated, likely functionless, protein with an altered C-terminus (Leu307fsX83). The identical mutation has previously been reported to cause slowly progressive autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa. In our two patients, the Leu307fsX83 mutation accounts for an unusually mild form of retinal degeneration.  相似文献
