Mutations 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...
متن کاملMutation 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 کاملIdentification of FZD4 and LRP5 mutations in 11 of 49 families with familial exudative vitreoretinopathy
PURPOSE To identify mutations in FZD4 and LRP5 in 49 Chinese families with familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) and to reveal the mutation spectrum and frequency of these genes in the Chinese population. METHODS Clinical data and genomic DNA were collected for patients from 49 families with FEVR. The coding exons and adjacent intronic regions of FZD4 and LRP5 were amplified with polyme...
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 کاملNovel mutations in FZD4 and phenotype–genotype correlation in Chinese patients with familial exudative vitreoretinopathy
PURPOSE To identify novel mutations in the frizzled 4 (FZD4) gene in patients with familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) in southern China and to delineate the mutation-associated clinical manifestations. METHODS Clinical data and genomic DNA were collected from 100 probands and their family members. The coding regions of FZD4 were screened for mutations with PCR and Sanger sequencing. ...
