Purpose

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a genetically heterogeneous disease with over 70 causative genes identified to date. However, approximately 40% of RP cases remain genetically unsolved, suggesting that many novel disease-causing mutations are yet to be identified. The purpose of this study is to identify the causative mutations of a Chinese RP family.

Methods

Targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) for a total of 163 genes which involved in inherited retinal disorders were used to screen the possible causative mutations. Sanger sequencing was used to verify the mutations.

Results

As results, we identified two heterozygous mutations: a splicing site mutation c.1407 + 1G>C and a nonsense mutation c. 1957C>T (p.R653X) in phosphodiesterase 6A (PDE6A) gene in the RP patient. These two mutations are inherited from his father and mother, respectively. Furthermore, these mutations are unique in our in-house database and are rare in human genome databases, implicating that these two mutations are pathological.

Conclusion

By using targeted NGS method, we identified a compound heterozygous mutation in PDE6A gene that is associated with RP in a Chinese family."xsd:string
