摘要: RESULTS. Of the four previously identified presumed pathogenic mutations in VSX1 gene (Leu17Pro, Asp144Glu, Leu159Met, and Arg166Trp), only Asp144Glu was a single affected patient. Two novel nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), both resulting synonymous substitutions, were identified: c.53GT (Ser6Ser) patients c.209GT (Pro58Pro) two patients. reported SNPs also c.426CA (Arg131Ser) one patient c.581AG (Ala182Ala) 51 of 100 CONCLUSIONS. Only gene, member cohort However, as demonstrated, is non‐disease-causing polymorphism. The absence large number unrelated KTCN indicates that other genetic factors are involved development this disorder. (Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci. 2006;47:2820‐2822)
