Identification of novel KIF11 mutations in patients with familial exudative vitreoretinopathy and a phenotypic analysis
KIF11 gene mutations cause a rare autosomal dominant inheritable disease called microcephaly with or without chorioretinopathy, lymphedema, or mental retardation (MCLMR). Recently, such mutations were also found to be associated with familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR). Here, we report 7 novel KIF11 mutations identified by targeted gene capture in a cohort of 142 probands with FEVR who ...
متن کاملIdentification and functional analysis of novel FZD4 mutations in Han Chinese with familial exudative vitreoretinopathy
Familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) is a hereditary eye disease characterized by defects in the development of retinal vessels. However, known genetic mutations can only explain approximately 50% of FEVR patients. To assess the mutation frequency of Frizzled 4 (FZD4) in Chinese patients, we analysed patients with FEVR from 61 families from China to identify mutations in FZD4 and to stud...
متن کاملIdentification of novel FZD4 mutations in Indian patients with familial exudative vitreoretinopathy.
PURPOSE To identify novel mutations in FZD4 gene that cause familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) in Indian patients. METHODS The study was conducted on 75 subjects from 53 Indian families. These families were clinically diagnosed to have FEVR by fundus examination and fluorescein angiography. The candidate gene FZD4 was amplified from genomic DNA and PCR products were screened for muta...
متن کاملKIF11 mutations are a common cause of autosomal dominant familial exudative vitreoretinopathy.
BACKGROUND/AIMS To identify KIF11 mutations in patients with familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) and to describe the associated phenotypes. METHODS Mutation analysis in a cohort of patients in a single institute was conducted. Bioinformatics was performed for whole exome sequencing, and the variants were confirmed by Sanger sequencing. Clinical data and DNA samples were collected from...
متن کاملMutations in LRP5,FZD4, TSPAN12, NDP, ZNF408, or KIF11 Genes Account for 38.7% of Chinese Patients With Familial Exudative Vitreoretinopathy.
Purpose Familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) is a severe hereditary retinal disorder characterized by defects in retinal vascular development. To date, six genes have been reported to be responsible for this disease, including LRP5, FZD4, TSPAN12, NDP, ZNF408, and KIF11. The purpose of our study was to investigate the genetic defects in Chinese patients with FEVR through mutational analy...
