Background

Primary congenital glaucoma (PCG) is characterized by developmental abnormalities of the anterior chamber angle. Although several genes have been associated with PCG, pathogenic mutations could only be detected in about 20% of Chinese patients. GLC3B (1p36.2-36.1) and GLC3C (14q24.3) loci were previously identified in PCG pedigrees via linkage analysis. However, no causative genes were reported in these loci. This study was designed to search for novel PCG-related genes in these genetic regions.

Materials and methods

DNA samples from 100 PCG patients and 200 normal controls were pooled and sequenced using a customized panel of 133 positional candidate genes located around GLC3B and GLC3C loci (±1Mb). PCG-related genes were prioritized by the distribution of variants between patients and controls. Confirmation of selected variants and co-segregation analysis were performed using Sanger sequencing.

Results

Patient and control group contained 116 and 147 rare variants respectively after screening. Three genes (ZC2HC1C, VPS13D, and PGF) were prioritized according to the distribution of variants between the two groups. Rare variants of PGF were only identified in PCG patients.

Conclusions

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study aiming at exploring novel PCG-related genes at GLC3B and GLC3C loci. Our preliminary results suggest that there are potential associations between ZC2HC1C, VPS13D, PGF, and PCG. However, larger cohort studies and functional assays are required to provide further evidence for the proposed genotype-phenotype association."xsd:string
