Nat Genet 1998, 19:140-147. A detailed analysis of two patients with congenital glaucoma and other abnormalities revealed chromosomal anomalies involving chromosome 6p25, a region known to harbor a locus for anterior segment dysgenesis and glaucoma. Cloning of the breakpoint of a balanced translocation in one patient enabled isolation of genes from the region. One gene, FKHL7, adjacent to the breakpoint was found to be mutated in cases of Rieger and Axenfeld anomaly as well as iris hypoplasia.

Invest Ophthalmol Vis Scsi 1998, 39:2288-2295.

Am J Hum Genet 1998, 63:1549-1552. GLC1A mutations were found in two of 25 small JOAG pedigrees (compared with five of eight French JOAG pedigrees reported by Adam et al., Hum Mol Genet 1997, 6:2091-2097), and five of 127 adult-onset POAG pedigrees. Suggests JOAG is genetically heterogeneous.

J Biol Chem 1998, 273:6341-6350. Sequence data presented including 5 kb upstream of gene. Induction profiles in HTM and organ culture eyes. Authors propose that extracellular production of TIGR plays a role in outflow facility, but they cannot exclude intracellular roles also.

Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci 1998, 39:517-525. This study indicated wider distribution and more intense staining of TIGR protein in the trabecular meshwork of glaucomatous eyes as compared with nonglaucomatous eyes. Subjects with POAG, pseudoexfoliation syndrome, NTG, and age-matched normal controls were examined. May indicate a role for TIGR in glaucoma cases not due to GLC1 mutation.

Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci 1998, 38:S1055. This study in a single large pedigree with Thr377Met mutation with age of onset in the fourth decade of life indicates that outflow facility is reduced in mutation carriers and that this predates the onset of ocular hypertension, disk lesions, and glaucomatous field loss.

Biochem Biophys Res Commun 1998, 242:396-400. In addition to genomic sequence and organization data, MYOC mutations were excluded in 12 Usher syndrome type I patients. Expression of MYOC was shown in retina and ciliated cells of cochlea, making it a candidate for this condition.

Nat Genet 1998, 19:319-321. Interesting study of large pedigree with K423E mutation in which a consanguineous union between two affected heterozygotes produced four as yet unaffected homozygotes.

59. 59 Stoilov I, Akarsu AN, Alozie I, Child A, Barsoum-Homsy M, Turacli ME, et al.: Sequence analysis and homology modeling suggest that primary congenital glaucoma on 2p21 results from mutations disrupting either the hinge region or the conserved core structures of cytochrome P4501B1. Am J Hum Genet 1998, 62:573-584. Sixteen mutations found in 22 families from Turkey, the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. Expression data are presented confirming expression in the anterior uveal tract as well as in many extraocular tissues. The authors speculate about possible roles for this gene in PCG.

Also showed failure of mutant PITX2 to transactivate reporter genes, thus providing supportive evidence for the molecular basis of Rieger syndrome.

Genomics 1998, 47:409-413. Study of two naturally occurring mutations implying that haploinsufficiency of PITX2 may cause Rieger syndrome. The rearrangement with an intact RIEG1 is of interest as it is reminiscent of the findings of Nishimura et al. (Nat Genet 1998, 19:140-147).
