BIGH3 Gene Analysis in the Differential Diagnosis of Corneal Dystrophies

Abstract: Direct clinical examination may be insignificant in the proper diagnosis of corneal dystrophies, and molecular genetic approach may be required.

“…This point mutation differentiates ACD from other dystrophies associated with mutations of the TGF-b1 gene. [12][13][14][15] Our patient was found to carry a heterozygous mutation rather than a homozygous mutation, a possible modifier leading to the subtle nature of corneal findings prior to LASIK.…”

“…[9][10][11] In part I of the study, morphological changes of corneal deposits of GCD2 (heterozygote, n = 3; homozygote, n = 2) and GCD1 (n = 1) patients were analyzed. Although there were many homozygote and heterozygote GCD2 patients, this study only included those patients whom we recalled having erosive episodes associated with a subsequent change in the corneal deposit appearance.…”

“…Valamennyi altípus autoszomális domináns öröklődést mutat, az 5q31 kromoszómán található BIGH3 (transforming growth factor β induced -TGFβI) gén mutációja okozza a dystrophia kialakulását. Az érintett gén az adhéziós molekulaként szolgáló keratoepithelin fehérjét kódolja [6]. Normális körülmények között a keratoepithelin egy kisméretű fehérje, ezért a cornea rétegei között diffúzióra képes.…”
