Targeted next-generation sequencing analysis identifies novel mutations in families with severe familial exudative vitreoretinopathy
PURPOSE Familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) is a genetically and clinically heterogeneous disease, characterized by failure of vascular development of the peripheral retina. The symptoms of FEVR vary widely among patients in the same family, and even between the two eyes of a given patient. This study was designed to identify the genetic defect in a patient cohort of ten Chinese familie...
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 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 ...
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 کاملClinical and next-generation sequencing findings in a Chinese family exhibiting severe familial exudative vitreoretinopathy
Familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) is a rare hereditary retinal disorder characterized by the premature arrest of vascularization in the peripheral retina. The aim of the present study was to characterize the clinical presentations of a Chinese family affected by bilateral severe FEVR, and to identify the underlying genetic variations. One family that presented with bilateral FEVR was ...
