The GLC1A locus for autosomal dominant primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) with juvenile onset (before 20 years) has been mapped to chromosome 1q21-q31. Recently, a French-Canadian family was described in which both juvenile-onset and middle-age or early-onset POAG were observed and linked to GLC1A. We now describe a second POAG family with variable age of onset (range 11-51, median 36 years of age). Linkage to GLC1A was established with a maximum lod score of 6.21 at the D1S452 locus. A recombination event in a severely glaucomatous patient restricted the distal boundary of the GLC1A interval proximal to the AFM154xc9 marker. This study strengthens the idea that early-onset POAG may also be determined by the GLC1A genetic region.
常染色体显性遗传性青少年型(20岁之前)原发性开角型青光眼(POAG)的GLC1A基因座已被定位于1号染色体的1q21-q31区域。最近,有一个法裔加拿大家庭被报道,该家庭中既有青少年型POAG患者,也有中年或早发型POAG患者,并且这些病例都与GLC1A基因座相关联。我们现在描述第二个POAG家族,其发病年龄各不相同(范围为11至51岁,中位年龄为36岁)。在D1S452基因座处,与GLC1A的连锁分析获得了最高为6.21的对数优势分数(lod score),从而确立了两者的连锁关系。一名重度青光眼患者的重组事件将GLC1A区间的远端边界限定在AFM154xc9标记近端。这项研究进一步证实了早发型POAG也可能由GLC1A基因区域所决定这一观点。
