Mutation Spectrum of the LRP5, NDP, and TSPAN12 Genes in Chinese Patients With Familial Exudative Vitreoretinopathy.
Purpose LRP5, NDP, and TSPAN12 are known to be associated with familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR). In this study, a comprehensive mutation screening for the three genes was performed in patients with a clinical diagnosis of FEVR in Han Chinese. Methods Genomic DNA and clinical data were collected from 100 probands and their family members. Sanger sequencing was performed to screen fo...
متن کاملNovel mutations in the TSPAN12 gene in Chinese patients with familial exudative vitreoretinopathy
PURPOSE Familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) is a group of inherited blinding eye diseases characterized by defects in the development of the retinal vessels. Recent studies have identified genetic variants in tetraspanin 12 (TSPAN12) as a cause of FEVR. The purpose of this study was to identify novel TSPAN12 mutations in Chinese patients with FEVR and to describe the associated phenotyp...
متن کاملLarge Deletions of TSPAN12 Cause Familial Exudative Vitreoretinopathy (FEVR).
Purpose Familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) is a rare, hereditary visual disorder. The gene TSPAN12 is associated with autosomal dominant inheritance of FEVR. The prevalence and impact of large deletions/duplications of TSPAN12 on FEVR patients is unknown. To glean better insight of TSPAN12 on FEVR pathology, herein, we describe three FEVR patients with TSPAN12 deletions. Methods Thir...
متن کاملFamilial Exudative Vitreoretinopathy
Familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) is a hereditary disease associated with visual loss, particularly in the pediatric group. Mutations in the NDP, FZD4, LRP5, and TSPAN12 genes have been shown to contribute to FEVR. FEVR has been reported to have X-linked recessive, autosomal dominant, and autosomal recessive inheritances. However, both the genotypic and phenotypic features are variabl...
متن کاملNovel TSPAN12 mutations in patients with familial exudative vitreoretinopathy and their associated phenotypes
PURPOSE Mutations in tetraspanin 12 (TSPAN12) have recently been identified as a cause of autosomal dominant familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR). The purpose of this study was to detect TSPAN12 mutations in Chinese patients with FEVR and to describe the associated phenotypes. METHODS Sanger sequencing was used to analyze the seven coding exons and their adjacent regions of TSPAN12 in ...
