Novel pathogenic variants of SLC38A8 gene and literature review
PURPOSE: This study aimed to analyze the clinical and genetic characteristics of 6 Chinese patients with foveal hypoplasia (FH) caused by the variants of solute carrier family 38 member 8 (SLC38A8), and to describe the genotype and phenotype of SLC38A8 variants from previous literature.
METHODS: All subjects underwent comprehensive ophthalmic examinations. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) was performed to evaluate the structural grade of FH. Pathogenic variants of SLC38A8 gene were identified using panel-based next-generation sequencing and direct Sanger sequencing techniques. Further, all previously reported cases of SLC38A8 variants were re-analyzed together with the novel ones identified in this study.
RESULTS: Nystagmus and FH were present in 6 patients with variants of SLC38A8 gene, accompanied by a normal anterior segment. Grade 4 FH was identified in 4 patients. A total of 12 variants of SLC38A8 gene were identified, including 9 novel variants. Systematical analysis revealed that half of the variants (30/60) were missense, the majority of which (23/30) were distributed in the transmembrane (TM) domains. Grade 4 FH was detected in the majority of patients (66%, 23/35). There was no statistical difference in the clinical features between the subgroups of patients with 0, 1 and 2 missense variants.
CONCLUSION: Severe arrest of foveal development was identified in patients with variants of SLC38A8. This study provides a brief summary of the clinical and genetic characteristics of the pathogenic SLC38A8 variants, which is helpful in the differentiation diagnosis of FH.
