Abstract

BACKGROUND

GJA8 encodes connexin-50, a gap junction protein in the eye lens. Mutations in GJA8 have been reported in families with autosomal dominant cataract.

OBJECTIVE

To identify the disease gene in a family with congenital cataract of autosomal recessive inheritance.

METHODS

Eight candidate genes were screened for pathogenic alterations in affected and unaffected family members and in normal unrelated controls.

RESULTS

A single base insertion leading to frameshift at codon 203 of connexin 50 was found to co-segregate with disease in the family.

CONCLUSIONS

These results confirm involvement of GJA8 in autosomal recessive cataract.

摘要

背景

GJA8基因编码连接蛋白50,这是一种晶状体中的间隙连接蛋白。在常染色体显性白内障家族中已报道了GJA8基因的突变。

目的

鉴定一个常染色体隐性遗传先天性白内障家族中的致病基因。

方法

对8个候选基因进行筛查,以寻找患病和未患病家族成员以及正常无关对照中的致病改变。

结果

发现在连接蛋白50的第203密码子处有一个单碱基插入导致移码,该突变在家族中与疾病共分离。

结论

这些结果证实GJA8基因与常染色体隐性白内障有关。
