Abstract: Objective: axenfeld-Rieger syndrome (ARS) is phenotypically and gene"&ck%5B%5D=abstract&ck%5B%5D=keyword'>genetically heterogene"&ck%5B%5D=abstract&ck%5B%5D=keyword'>geneous. In this study, we identified the underlying gene"&ck%5B%5D=abstract&ck%5B%5D=keyword'>genetic defect in a Chinese family with ARS. Methods: A detailed family history and clinical data were recorded. The ocular phenotype was documented using slit-lamp photography and systemic anomalies were also documented where available. The genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood leukocytes. All coding exons and intron-exon junctions of paired-like homeodomain transcription factor 2 (PITX2) gene"&ck%5B%5D=abstract&ck%5B%5D=keyword'>gene and the forkhead box C1 (FOXC1) gene"&ck%5B%5D=abstract&ck%5B%5D=keyword'>gene were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and screened for mutation by direct DNA sequencing. Variations detected in exon 5 of PITX2 were further evaluated with cloning sequencing. The exon 5 of PITX2 was also sequenced in 100 healthy controls, unrelated to the family, for comparison. Structural models of the wild type and mutant homeodomain of PITX2 were investigated by SWISS-MODEL. Results: Affected individuals exhibited variable ocular phenotypes, whereas the systemic anomalies were similar. After direct sequencing and cloning sequencing, a heterozygous deletion/insertion mutation c.198_201delinsTTTCT (p.M66Ifs*133) was revealed in exon 5 of PITX2. This mutation co-segregated with all affected individuals in the family and was not found either in unaffected family members or in 100 unrelated controls. Conclusions: We detected a novel frameshift mutation p.M66Ifs*133 in PITX2 in a Chinese family with ARS. Although PITX2 mutations and polymorphisms have been reported from various ethnic groups, we report for the first time the identification of a novel deletion/insertion mutation that causes frameshift mutation in the homeodomain of PITX2 protein.

一种新的PITX2基因缺失/插入移码突变引起的Axenfeld-Rieger综合征研究

研究目的：对1个Axenfeld-Rieger综合征家系的临床特点及基因突变进行研究，探索Axenfeld-Rieger综合征发病的遗传机制。
研究手段：对该Axenfeld-Rieger综合征家系进行全面临床检查，对家系成员应用聚合酶链反应（PCR）扩增PITX2基因和FOXC1基因的所有外显子及相邻内含子，对其产物进行直接测序并对PITX2基因第5个外显子进行克隆测序。选取100名健康者作为对照组，应用PCR扩增PITX2基因第5个外显子并进行直接测序。应用SWISS-MODEL软件对野生型和突变型的PITX2蛋白同源域进行建模分析。
重要结论：该Axenfeld-Rieger综合征家系的眼部表型多样，但是各患者的全身系统异常却呈现一致性（见图2；表1）。基因测序结果显示先证者及其他患者均具有PITX2基因杂合突变c.198_201delins TTTCT (p.M66Ifs*133)。尽管PITX2基因突变引起Axenfeld-Rieger综合征已经被广泛证实，但是PITX2基因缺失/插入移码突变引起的Axenfeld-Rieger综合征仅被报道过一次，我们的研究首次在中国人群中揭示了这种罕见的突变方式。
