Abstract:
PURPOSE:To describe the clinical and genetic characteristics of three Japanese families with autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (ADRP) associated with mutations in the PRPF31 gene. DESIGN:Case reports and results of DNA analysis. METHODS:Mutational screening of the PRPF31 gene was performed on 96 unrelated patients with ADRP by direct sequencing. The clinical features were characterized by complete ophthalmologic examinations. RESULTS:Three mutations in the PRPF31 gene, designated as 1142delG, 1155-1159delGGACG/insAGGGATT, and IVS6 to 3 to -45del, were identified in three unrelated Japanese families with ADRP. The 1142delG and 1155-1159delGGACG/insAGGGATT mutations are novel. The phenotype of affected family members was typical of retinitis pigmentosa (RP). Additionally, we identified asymptomatic obligate carriers. CONCLUSIONS:The 1142delG and 1155-1159delGGACG/insAGGGATT mutations in the PRPF31 gene cause RP. The prevalence of mutations in the PRPF31 gene in Japanese patients with ADRP is approximately 3%. However, it is important to note that there are asymptomatic obligate carriers.
