摘要: 对一个眼白化病1型(OA1)家系进行致病基因突变筛查与分析。该家系患者均表现出典型OA1临床特征，如先天性双眼视力发育不良、眼球震颤、斜视以及虹膜、眼底色素减少伴黄斑中心凹发育不全。采用全外显子组测序技术对先证者进行筛查，发现X染色体上GPR143基因存在c.29G>A(p.Cys10Tyr)半合突变(第29位鸟嘌呤突变为腺嘌呤，导致编码的第10位半胱氨酸变为酪氨酸)。Sanger测序验证该突变存在于所有患病家系成员中。生物信息学分析显示，该突变导致GPR143蛋白质一级结构的分子量、等电点及不稳定指数升高，二级结构中α螺旋和延伸链比例增加，无规卷曲比例减少。利用PROVEAN、SIFT、Mutation Taster和Polyphen-2多种在线工具均预测该突变为致病性变异。本研究发现并确认了GPR143基因的一个新致病突变c.29G>A，拓展了该基因的突变谱，并从蛋白质构象角度为理解GPR143蛋白的功能提供了新见解。Abstract: This study conducted pathogenic gene mutation screening and analysis in a pedigree with ocular albinism type 1 (OA1). Affected individuals within the pedigree exhibited typical OA1 clinical features, including congenital bilateral visual impairment, nystagmus, strabismus, reduced iris and fundus pigmentation, and foveal hypoplasia. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) was performed on the proband, revealing a hemizygous mutation c.29G>A (p.Cys10Tyr) in the GPR143 gene located on the X chromosome. This mutation involves a guanine (G) to adenine (A) substitution at nucleotide position 29, resulting in the amino acid change cysteine (Cys) to tyrosine (Tyr) at position 10 of the encoded protein. Sanger sequencing confirmed the presence of this mutation in all affected family members. Bioinformatics analysis indicated that this mutation leads to alterations in the primary structure of the GPR143 protein, including increased molecular weight, isoelectric point (pI), and instability index. Changes in the secondary structure were also predicted, showing an increase in the proportion of alpha-helices and extended strands, accompanied by a decrease in the proportion of random coils. Multiple online prediction tools (PROVEAN, SIFT, Mutation Taster, and Polyphen-2) consistently classified this mutation as pathogenic. This study identified and confirmed a novel pathogenic mutation, GPR143 c.29G>A, broadening the mutational spectrum of this gene. Furthermore, it provides new insights into the functional implications of the GPR143 protein from a protein conformational perspective.
