ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
The biallelic variant of MAB21L1 has previously been documented in conjunction with the autosomal recessive cerebellar, ocular, craniofacial, and genital syndrome (COFG). The purpose of this study was to investigate the gene-disease association of MAB21L1 and the newly discovered autosomal dominant (AD) microphthalmia.METHODS:
We report the presence of an exceptionally rare missense variant in a single allele of the Arg51 codon of MAB21L1 among four individuals from a single family diagnosed with microphthalmia, which suggesting an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. Subsequently, based on comprehensive literature review, we identiï¬ed another 13 families that have reported cases of autosomal dominant microphthalmos.RESULTS:
Genotype-phenotype analysis revealed that patients with a single allele missense variant in MAB21L1 exhibited solely eye abnormalities. This starkly diverged from the clinical presentation of COFG, typiï¬ed by the concurrent occurrence of ocular and extraocular symptoms stemming from the biallelic variant in MAB21L1. Our ï¬ndings revealed that the heterozygous pathogenic variant in MAB21L1 resulted in the emergence of autosomal dominant microphthalmia. By combining these genetic and experimental evidence, the clinical validity of MAB21L1 and the emerging autosomal dominant microphthalmia can be regarded as moderate.CONCLUSION:
In summary, there is suï¬cient convincing evidence to prove that MAB21L1 is a novel pathogenic gene responsible for autosomal dominant microphthalmia, thus oï¬ering valuable insights for precise diagnosis and targeted therapeutic interventions in cases of microphthalmia.
