Abstract:Objective To screen mutation in pathogenic genes in a family with congenital blue dot cataract,so as to explore their potential genetic defects.Methods A congenital blue dot cataract family in Heilongjiang province was collected in September 2017.After detailed medical history collection and clinical examination of this family and normal controls,polymerase chain reaction (PCR) sequencing was used to detect the mutation of candidate genes in cataract hot spots.Results The heterozygous missense mutation of c.10T>C was found in the GJA8 gene of this family,which resulted in the change of the highly conserved tryptophan in the fourth position to arginine (p.W4R),but the mutation was not found in the normal members of the family or the normal controls.Conclusion The GJA8 gene c.10T>C mutation is the potential genetic etiology of this family,which extends the GJA8 gene mutation spectrum of congenital cataract.
