A Laboratory Study on the Molecular Basis of Primary Congenital Glaucoma
<p><strong>Purpose:</strong> To detect pathogenic mutations in cytochrome P450 family1 subfamily B polypeptide1</p><p>(CYP1B1) gene in nineteen sporadic Primary congenital glaucoma (PCG) cases and to identify patients</p><p>lacking CYP1B1 mutations.</p>...

Sequencing data was</p><p>analyzed to identify the gene mutations or Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms SNPs.</p><p><strong>Results:</strong> Four previously reported PCG-associated CYP1B1 mutations (c.1159G>A; p.E387K,</p><p>c.230T>C; p.L77P, c.1103G>A; p.R368H and c.1568G>A; p.R523K) were found in four patients out of the</p><p>15 fully 'sequenced' patients. Also, ten previously reported Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms and two</p><p>novel noncoding variants were identifi ed.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The relatively low percentage of PCG patients having CYP1B1 mutations (4/15=26.6%)</p><p>demonstrates that other known and unknown genes may contribute to PCG pathogenesis. Lack of CYP1B1 gene mutations in some patients stresses the need to identify other responsible candidates.</p> | ||
