Background

Congenital aniridia is a severe ocular abnormality characterized by incomplete formation of the iris and many other ocular complications. Most cases are caused by the paired box 6 (PAX6) gene mutations generating premature termination codons (PTCs).

Methods

Ophthalmic examination was performed on a Chinese pedigree with congenital aniridia. The mutation was identified by targeted next-generation sequencing. Nonsense suppression therapy was applied on patient-derived lymphocytes. The PAX6 expression was assayed by real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blot.

Results

Complete aniridia was complicated with horizontal nystagmus, contract, foveal hypoplasia, and microphthalmia. A novel heterozygous c.702_703delinsAT (p.Tyr234*) mutation was found in exon 9 of PAX6, generating a PTC at the homeodomain. There were about 50% reductions of both full-length PAX6 protein and PAX6 mRNA in patient-derived lymphocytes, indicating haploinsufficiency due to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Ataluren (PTC124) and geneticin (G418) could induce about 30%-40% translational readthrough. Nonsense suppression therapy restored PAX6 protein to about 65%-70% of unaffected family controls.

Conclusion

Our data expanded the genetic and phenotypic variations of congenital aniridia, and showed the therapeutic effect of nonsense suppression on this disease using patient-derived cells."xsd:string
