While the genetic alteration of the ANTXR1 gene has been known for its cause, the full range of its clinical and genetic manifestations is not well explored due to the syndrome's extreme rarity.Materials/methods: We report two children born to a non-consanguineous parent in India with classical features of GAPO syndrome. The whole exome sequencing analysis (WES) was performed in both siblings, and the parent's genetic and clinical status was determined. The identified variation was characterized in silico using homology-based protein modelling.Results: In WES analysis, a homozygous ANTXR1 gene indel variant c. 151_152 + 2delAAGT (p.Lys51fs) was identified in both siblings. The parents were identified as the carriers of the ANTXR1 variant. Additionally, they also displayed mild GAPO-related facial and glaucomatous features. In silico analysis and homology-based ANTXR1 protein structure illustrate a frameshift and the subsequent premature truncation of the protein.Conclusions: Our reports contribute to the comprehension of GAPO syndrome within the Indian context describing an ANTXR1 novel variant causing premature protein truncation. WES-based genetic testing can significantly aid in expertly diagnosing GAPO syndrome. In the present case scenario, a variable penetrance of ANTXR1 variation was acknowledged as the carrier parents also had a mild degree of GAPO-related features. Future reports that include parental clinical diagnosis can offer further insights in this context.","PeriodicalId":19594,"journal":{"name":"Ophthalmic Genetics","volume":" ","pages":"395-400"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140867840","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is considered an autosomal dominant disorder, related to heterozygous pathogenic variants in the gene RP1L1.

The best-corrected visual acuity was 20/30, 20/20. Indirect ophthalmoscopy with a 78D lens revealed subtle central retinal pigment epithelium mottling and optical coherence tomography confirmed subtle central thickening of the ellipsoid zone.

We consider that inflammation due to MEFV variants would increase eye inflammation and damage aqueous humor regulation. The present study is the first analysis investigating a MEFV (E148Q) variant as a marker protecting from glaucoma.Methods: In this prospective clinical analyze, we performed detailed gene sequencing focusing on 22 specific regions of the pyrin (MEFV) gene. The study involved two distinct groups: individuals diagnosed with glaucoma (n = 200) and control subjects without glaucoma (n = 100). Both groups were carefully selected to exclude individuals with symptoms or a previous diagnosis of Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF). The diagnosis of glaucoma for each participant was rigorously established through comprehensive direct ophthalmic examinations.Results: A significant odds ratio for protection against glaucoma was found in carriers of the subclinical E148Q allele (OR:2.22; 95%CI: 1.098-4.485). No significant differences were found for other variants. One mutant E148Q-allele could decrease the probability of glaucoma development by approximately 68,9%. We observed no differences in the genotype frequency between glaucoma and healthy for the other MEFV gene variants.Conclusion: The pyrin variant of the MEFV gene resulting in a subclinical phenotype appears to reduce the incidence of glaucoma, and heterozygous pyrin (MEFV) E148Q allele carriers confer protection against glaucoma. It is important to consider the limitations arising from the relatively small number of studies conducted on this topic.","PeriodicalId":19594,"journal":{"name":"Ophthalmic Genetics","volume":" ","pages":"332-336"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140120229","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methylation-specific PCR was used to detect hypermethylation.
