Abstract
Background: Although the p.C759F (c.2276G>T, p.Cys759Phe) variant in the USH2A gene has been identified in association with retinal degeneration by several authors, its pathogenicity has been questioned once by the publication of two unaffected homozygotes from a single family.
Objectives: The objective of the study was to ascertain the role of p.C759F in hereditary retinal disease.
Methods: We examined 87 research articles reporting on patients carrying this variant and then used this information as primary data for a series of meta-analytical tests.
Results: Independent statistical analyses showed that p.C759F (i) is highly enriched in patients with respect to healthy individuals, (ii) represents a clear-cut recessive allele causing disease when it is in trans with other mutations, (iii) is pathogenic in homozygotes.
Conclusions: Our results confirm that p.C759F is a bona fide mutation, leading to retinal blindness according to a recessive pattern of inheritance.
期刊介绍:
''Ophthalmic Research'' features original papers and reviews reporting on translational and clinical studies. Authors from throughout the world cover research topics on every field in connection with physical, physiologic, pharmacological, biochemical and molecular biological aspects of ophthalmology. This journal also aims to provide a record of international clinical research for both researchers and clinicians in ophthalmology. Finally, the transfer of information from fundamental research to clinical research and clinical practice is particularly welcome.
