Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To analyze genetic variant in a pedigree affected with congenital high myopia.
METHODS:Whole exome sequencing (WES) was carried out for the proband. Suspected variation was verified with Sanger sequencing. The pedigree was also subjected to co-segregation analysis.
RESULTS:WES has identified a novel splice site heterozygous variant (c.2556+1G>A) in the COL11A1 gene in the proband. Co-segregation analysis of the pedigree showed that the affected mother and two daughters of the proband have carried the same variant(c.2556+1G>A), while his unaffected father and sister did not. Based on the ACMG Standards and Guidelines for the Interpretation of Sequence Variants, the variant was classified as "likely pathogenic" (PVS1+PM2).
CONCLUSION:A novel splice variant (c.2556+1G>A) of the COL11A1 gene has been identified in a pedigree affected with congenital high myopia, which probably underlies the disease.
