Novel mutations in the COL2A1 gene in Japanese patients with Stickler syndrome

Abstract: Stickler syndrome is an inherited connective tissue disorder that affects the eyes, cartilage and articular tissues. The phenotypes of Stickler syndrome include congenital high myopia, retinal detachment, premature joint degeneration, hearing impairment and craniofacial anomalies, such as cleft palate and midline facial hypoplasia. The disease is genetically heterogeneous, and the majority of the cases are caused by mutations in the COL2A1 gene. We examined 40 Japanese patients with Stickler syndrome from 23 f… Show more

“…Richards et al focused on the exon 2 and found that the phenotypes, which resulted from COL2A1 variants in exon 2, are characterized by predominantly ocular disorders (eg, retinal detachment) . STL 1 has a higher incidence than other type II collagenopathies, and large cohorts of patients have been previously examined by researchers in numerous countries . Wagner disease (MIM #143200) is a rare vitreoretinal degeneration, which is usually caused by mutation of VCAN .…”

“…The clinical findings and mutations in the COL2A1 gene of 21 of the patients have been reported in detail. 2 , 15 17 The remaining five patients were newly studied, and the associated mutations in the COL2A1 gene were c.3624del (predicted to p.Gly1209Valfs*18, NM_001844.4) for Patient 1, c.3188_3211delinsGT (p.Ala1063Glyfs*60) for Patient 6, c.2353C>T (p.Arg785*) for Patient 7, and c.1957C>T (p.Arg653*) for Patient 2. Patient 25 was a family member of Patient 24.…”

“…Although the affected patients in the present study had different genetic mutations, they exhibited similar clinical presentations of retinal detachment and degeneration. Previous studies have also reported that different mutations in COL2A1 can lead to similar phenotypes, with various degrees of expressivity ( 42 , 49 ). The majority of COL2A1 mutations identified in Stickler syndrome are loss-of-function mutations, as they are predicted to result in nonsense-mediated decay of transcripts ( 42 ).…”
