Mutation screening and haplotype analysis of the rhodopsin gene locus in Japanese patients with retinitis pigmentosa
PURPOSE: To identify nucleotide sequence variations in the rhodopsin (RHO) gene of Japanese patients with retinitis pigmentosa (RP) in order to search for mutations or haplotypes responsible for RP. METHODS: The entire region of RHO locus including a promoter region and introns was sequenced using b...

description | PURPOSE: To identify nucleotide sequence variations in the rhodopsin (RHO) gene of Japanese patients with retinitis pigmentosa (RP) in order to search for mutations or haplotypes responsible for RP. METHODS: The entire region of RHO locus including a promoter region and introns was sequenced using blood-derived genomic DNA samples donated by 68 patients with RP and 68 control subjects. RESULTS: We found 39 single nucleotide substitutions including 17 rare substitutions of less than 1% in frequency, one insertion/deletion polymorphism, and one CA-repeat polymorphism in a 7.8 kbp region spanning the promoter, five exons, and four introns of the RHO gene locus. There were no affected subjects with amino acid substitutions in RHO, and there was 1 control subject with a novel substitution (Ala42Thr) who had no symptoms of RP. Fine analysis of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) revealed eight haplotype structures of the Japanese RHO locus. There was no significant difference between RP patients and controls in terms of haplotype frequency. CONCLUSIONS: No mutation causing an amino acid substitution of RHO was observed in 68 Japanese patients with RP, but 1 control subject did have a novel amino acid substitution. The Japanese RHO locus is comprised of eight major haplotypes. The RP-associated haplotype was not identified. The haplotype-tagging SNPs identified in this study will be useful as markers for the linkage-based screening of RP patients. |
