Congenital hereditary endothelial dystrophy (CHED) is a heritable, bilateral corneal dystrophy characterized by corneal opacification and nystagmus. We describe seven different mutations in the SLC4A11 gene in ten families with autosomal recessive CHED. Mutations in SLC4A11, which encodes a membrane-bound sodium-borate cotransporter, cause loss of function of the protein either by blocking its membrane targeting or nonsense-mediated decay.
先天性遗传性内皮营养不良(CHED)是一种遗传性双侧角膜营养不良,其特征为角膜混浊和眼球震颤。我们在10个常染色体隐性CHED家族中描述了SLC4A11基因的7种不同突变。编码膜结合硼酸钠共转运蛋白的SLC4A11基因发生突变,可通过阻止其膜靶向作用或无义介导的衰变导致该蛋白功能丧失。
