First evidence of SOX2 mutations in Peters' anomaly: Lessons from molecular screening of 95 patients

Abstract: Peters' anomaly (PA) is a rare anterior segment dysgenesis characterized by central corneal opacity and irido‐lenticulo‐corneal adhesions. Several genes are involved in syndromic or isolated PA (B3GLCT, PAX6, PITX3, FOXE3, CYP1B1). Some copy number variations (CNVs) have also been occasionally reported. Despite this genetic heterogeneity, most of patients remain without genetic diagnosis. We retrieved a cohort of 95 individuals with PA and performed genotyping using a combination of comparative genomic hybridi… Show more

“…This work underlines the importance of genetic explorations in patients with PFV, particularly when PFV is bilateral and/or associated with additional ocular findings such as cataract and microphthalmia as well as extra‐ocular features. As shown previously (Chesneau et al, 2022; Courdier et al, 2022), the use of such NGS panel approach allowed us to explore simultaneously many genes involved in ocular development and thus to broaden the phenotype of previously known genes. Beyond the medical purpose for the family, the identification of new genes such as MIP will allow better understanding of the pathophysiology of this rare ocular development anomaly that remains unclear.…”

“…She underwent general pediatric examination as well as ophthalmological examination under general anesthesia, with slit lamp examination, fundus examination, intraocular pressure measurement using applanation tonometer (Perkins) and ocular ultrasound with Doppler, axial length and pachymetry measurement. The girl also benefited from a genetic testing consisting in an analysis of 119-ocular development genes using a dedicated NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) panel, screening for both single nucleotide variant (SNVs) and copy number variant (CNVs), as previously described (Chesneau et al, 2022). Briefly, DNA was extracted from blood using the MagnaPure system (Roche Applied Science).…”

“…A SNV in SOX2 (NM_003106.4:c.611C > T; p.Ala204Val) in a patient with Peters anomaly (A200). Recently, SOX2 alterations have been associated with this condition [ 30 ]. Notwithstanding, this is the first time that this variant has been reported.…”

“…When less “narrow” technological approaches were employed, the number of patients analyzed was reduced with a significant decrease in diagnostic yield. Targeted sequencing, WES and WGS were performed with an average of 47% positive molecular diagnoses [ 11 , 30 , 57 , 58 ].…”

“…Damage to several homeotic genes (B3GLCT, PAX6, PITX3, FOXE3, and CYP1B1) has been reported to cause Peters anomaly. Notably, most cases of Peters anomaly are solitary; however, autosomal recessive and dominant inheritance patterns have also been reported [4,5]. Homeotic genes are involved in the development of the eye and other body structures; therefore, Peters anomaly is sometimes accompanied by systemic disease.…”
