| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We report a case of 6p25 deletion syndrome, one of subtelophrome microstructural abnormality, which is early-onset developmental glaucoma with right eye aniridia and left eye Peters anomaly.
Case was 0-year old girl. Cornea opacity of both eyes was observed, suspected of early onset developing glaucoma. Familial history of glaucoma was not recognized. In order to identify disease-causing genes, mutation analysis by the Sanger method was performed on all 13 exons of the PAX6 gene, but the mutation could not be identified. Furthermore, we performed whole exome sequencing. Exome data suggested that a patient had a de novo deletion mutation in the 6p25 region containing the FOXC1 gene.
