Estimating the age of the p.Cys433Arg variant in the MYOC gene in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to estimate the age of the Cys433Arg (c.1297T>C, p.Cys433Arg) variant by comparing the genotypes of individuals affected and not affected by primary open angle glaucoma juvenile onset (JOAG). Our sample consisted of 35 JOAG-affected individuals from three families, 16 unrelated patients with the MYOC p.Cys433Arg variant and 16 unaffected individuals. Genomic DNA was amplified by PCR; nine short tandem repeats were genotyped through automated electrophoresis and three single nucleotide polymorphisms through Sanger sequencing. The determination of haplotypes was performed using Arlequin software and age estimation was performed using DMLE+ 2.3 and BDMC21 softwares. Four markers constituted the haplotypes associated with the p.Cys433Arg variant. The software DMLE+2.3 predicted an age of 43 generations for this variant with a 95% confidence interval ranging from 28 to 76 generations (560-1520 years) and BDMC21 predicted an age of 59 generations (1180 years) (95% CI: 40 to 100).

Project description:AIM:To report the first discovery of Ser341Pro myocilin (MYOC) variant in Korea and analyze its clinical characteristics and genetic significance. METHODS:Ten family members from three generations participated in this study and received the thorough ophthalmologic examination. Focused exome sequencing on a proband was performed to confirm the target mutations (MYOC c.1021T>C) in the family members, and the direct sequencing was conducted. Variant was analyzed according to the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics and the Association for Molecular Pathology (ACMG/AMP) guidelines. RESULTS:A nucleotide change from thymine to cytosine at c.1021T>C was found in eight family members. Three members diagnosed with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) were characterized by severe clinical presentations, high intraocular pressure, and poor response to medical treatment (100% of the patient required filtering surgery). On variant analysis by ACMG/AMP guidelines, Ser341Pro is not found in normal population. Multiple computational predictive programs support a deleterious effect of Ser341Pro variant (PolyPhen 2, SIFT, Mutation Taster). Ser341Pro could be involved in moderate (PM) and supporting (PP) criteria (PM1, PM2, PP2, PP3). Combining the criteria, Ser341Pro has a combination of 2 moderate (PM1+PM2) and 2 supporting (PP2+PP3) criteria, which is interpreted to "likely pathogenic". CONCLUSION:The Ser341Pro variant is correlated with severe phenotype of POAG. There are similar clinical aspects to previous studies: autosomal dominant inheritance, incomplete penetrance (62.50% and 66.67%), and proportion of patients requiring trabeculectomy (100% in both study). According to ACMG/AMP guidelines and the previous basic researches, the Ser341Pro variant had a "strong evidence of pathogenicity (PS3)" and then it could be interpreted to "pathogenic (PS3, PM1, PM2, PP2, PP3)". Additionally, Ser341Pro variant can be reported as "c.1021T>C (p.Ser341Pro), likely pathogenic, POAG, autosomal dominant" according to guideline.
