Mutations in have been associated with the rare adult i blood group phenotype with or without congenital cataract. We report a novel homozygous frameshift mutation c.1163_1166delATCA, p.(Asn388Argfs*20) as the cause of congenital cataract in two affected siblings. Blood group typing confirmed that both affected males have the rare adult i phenotype, supporting the hypothesis that the partial association of I/i phenotype and congenital cataract is due to the differential expression of isoforms.
基因的突变与罕见的成人i血型表型有关,该表型可伴有或不伴有先天性白内障。我们报告了一种新的纯合移码突变c.1163_1166delATCA,p.(Asn388Argfs*20),它是两名患病同胞先天性白内障的病因。血型分型证实,两名患病男性均具有罕见的成人i表型,支持了I/i表型与先天性白内障部分关联是由于同工型差异表达的假说。
