摘要

Familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) is a hereditary eye disease characterized by defects in the development of periphery retinal vessels. However, the clinical phenotypes of FEVR vary widely from asymptomatic to complete blindness. We analyzed patients from three Chinese families and one sporadic patient with FEVR to investigate the clinical features and disease-causing mutations. Ocular phenotypes included increased ramification of the peripheral retinal vessels, a peripheral avascular zone, inferotemporal dragging of the optic disc and macula, and retinal folds. Peripheral blood DNA samples were obtained from patients with FEVR and their family members. Primers were designed to amplify the coding exons and adjacent intronic regions of the FEVR-causing genes FZD4, LRP5, NDP and TSPAN12. By polymerase chain reactions, each amplicon was subjected to direct Sanger sequencing analysis. Potential pathogenic changes of the sequence variants were analyzed by the orthologous protein sequence alignment and computational prediction software. We identified five LRP5 mutations: three novel heterozygous mutations-p.M181R, p.R399S and p.G503R and two known mutations that were never reported in FEVR patients: p.R494Q and p.G876S. All five mutations involved highly conserved residues and were predicted to be damaging by SIFT and PolyPhen-2. None was present in 500 normal individuals. To assess the pathogenesis of these mutations, wild-type and all five mutant LRP5 proteins were assayed for the ability to activate the Norrin/β-catenin pathway by established luciferase reporter assays, and all mutants failed to activate the pathway. This study extends the genetic database of the FEVR disease in China and provides a basis for molecular diagnosis of the disease.
