Department of Ophthalmology and Vision Science, Eye and ENT Hospital of Fudan University, 83 Fenyang Rd, Shanghai, 200031, China.

Background: To report newly found TSPAN12 mutations with a unique form of familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) and find out the possible mechanism of a repeated novel intronic variant in TSPAN12 led to FEVR.

Results: Nine TSPAN12 mutations with a unique form of FEVR were detected by panel-based NGS. MINI-Gene assay showed two splicing modes of mRNA that process two different bands A and B, and mutant-type shows replacement with the splicing mode of Exon11 hopping.

Familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) is a hereditary eye disease that could cause blindness. It has been established that Norrin forms dimers to activate β-catenin signaling, yet the core interface for Norrin dimerization and the precise mechanism by which Norrin dimerization contributes to the pathogenesis of FEVR remain elusive. Here, we report an NDP variant, c.

Clinical and genetic risk factors underlying severe consequence identified in 75 families with unilateral high myopia.

Article Synopsis
  • Unilateral high myopia (uHM) in patients, often linked with amblyopia and poor outcomes, was studied in 75 Chinese children to explore its clinical and genetic characteristics.
  • The majority of participants showed myopic fundus changes, with many exhibiting significant peripheral retinal issues, including avascular zones and neovascularization.
  • Exome sequencing revealed genetic variants in about 27% of the cohort, primarily related to Stickler syndrome and FEVR, suggesting specific genetic ties to observed retinal changes.
