The Taa1 restriction enzyme provides a simple means to identify the Q368STOP mutation of the myocilin gene in primary open angle glaucoma.

Abstract:

PURPOSE:To identify a rapid and reliable method to detect the Glutamine 368 STOP (Q368STOP) disease-predisposing allele of the myocilin gene associated with adult onset, primary, open-angle glaucoma. METHODS:Individuals with the Q368STOP mutation of the myocilin gene were identified from a cohort of primary open-angle glaucoma patients from Tasmania and subjected to Taa1 restriction digestion. RESULTS:In the Tasmanian family presented, screening with the Taa1 restriction enzyme successfully confirmed identification of all individuals with the Q368STOP mutation. CONCLUSIONS:The use of the Taa1 restriction enzyme offers a relatively simple, rapid, and reproducible technique that could be applied to detect the Q368STOP mutation of the myocilin gene.

  • Recurrence of lattice corneal dystrophy type 1 in the corneal grafts of two siblings.

    abstract::Amyloid was identified by light and electron microscopy within corneal grafts of two male siblings from a family with lattice corneal dystrophy type 1. These deposits indicate a recurrent disease within the donor tissue, and we believe this reflects an infiltration of the grafts by genetically abnormal host corneal fi...
