Genetic screening of LCA in Belgium: predominance of CEP290 and identification of potential modifier alleles in AHI1 of CEP290-related phenotypes

Abstract: Leber Congenital Amaurosis (LCA), the most severe inherited retinal dystrophy, is genetically heterogeneous, with 14 genes accounting for 70% of patients. Here, 91 LCA probands underwent LCA chip analysis and subsequent sequencing of 6 genes (CEP290, CRB1, RPE65, GUCY2D, AIPL1and CRX), revealing mutations in 69% of the cohort, with major involvement of CEP290 (30%). In addition, 11 patients with early-onset retinal dystrophy (EORD) and 13 patients with Senior-Loken syndrome (SLS), LCA-Joubert syndrome (LCA-JS)… Show more

“…The first part of this study was mainly aimed at validation of the enrichment protocol (proof of concept, patients 1-10), whereas the second part of this study consisted of a blind screening of 12 prescreened mutation-negative patients with LCA (patients [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. enrichment of LcA disease genes qPCR was used to target all exons from 16 LCA disease genes.…”

“…In the positive control patients, Sanger sequencing was performed of CEP290, CRB1, RPE65, GUCY2D, AIPL1, and CRX. 16 In addition, patients 4 and 5, originating from a consanguineous marriage, were sequenced for IQCB1 and RDH12, respectively, following identification of these genes in homozygous regions (Affymetrix GeneChip Human Mapping 250K arrays; Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA).…”
