ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To analyze the clinical manifestations and causative gene variants of the choroideremia patients, and to help the patients bedifferential diagnosed by whole exome sequencing and provide theoretical basis for their genetic counseling.@*METHODS@#Clinical data of 3 families were collected and genomic DNA was extracted respectively from peripheral blood of patients and related subjects. Exome targeted sequencing was used to screen suspicious gene mutations. Sanger sequencing and quantitative PCR were used to verify the candidate mutations and investigate the mutation carrying status of other members of the family. The candidate mutations were searched through HGMD and PubMed databases for the pathogenicity reports, and the pathogenicity of candidate mutations was judged according to a joint consensus recommendation of the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics and the Association for Molecular Pathology.@*RESULTS@#The proband of family 1 is c.1584_1587del (p.Val529Hisfs*6) variant hemizygote, whose daughter carries c.1584_1587del (p.Val529Hisfs*6) heterozygous variation. The proband of family 2 is a hemizygote with deletion of exons 10 to 15 (E10-15del), and her mother and sister carry the E10-15del heterozygous variation. In family 3, the proband is c.544delT (p.Cys182Valfs*14) variant hemizygote, and his mother is c.544delT (p.Cys182Valfs*14) heterozygote, but the father do not detect this variant. All the 3 families were detected pathogenic gene variations of CHM, two of which were known pathogenic variation and one of which was novel CHM gene c.544delT (p.C182Vfs*14) in this study. The c.544delT frameshift mutation of CHM gene can lead to the premature termination of the product protein translation and nonfunctioning protein. It is a pathogenic mutation according to ACMG guidelines.@*CONCLUSION@#The findings of this study expand the gene variation spectrum of choroideremia.
