目的：总结MAB21L2基因的变异和临床特点，并与高度同源的MAB21L1基因进行比较。 方法：对中山眼科中心临床基因数据库中MAB21L2基因变异患者进行基因型和表型分析，回顾性分析既往文献报道的MAB21L2基因和高度同源基因MAB21L1变异的表型-基因型的关系。结果：在2个小眼畸形家系中发现2个MAB21L2基因杂合变异：先证者1携带已知变异c.151C>G/p.(Arg51Gly)，患者双眼小眼畸形伴虹膜脉络膜缺损，伴骨关节屈曲。母亲携带相同杂合变异但表型正常；先证者2携带未报道的变异c.1042G>T/p.(Glu348*)，左眼小眼畸形，右眼正常且无全身异常。结合文献回顾发现，在显性遗传模式下，80%的MAB21L2杂合致病变异(20/25)和100%的MAB21L1杂合致病变异(25/25)发生在氨基酸49-52 区域，导致小眼无眼或眼缺损异常(microphthalmia, anophthalmia or coloboma,MAC)；携带该区域MAB21L2基因杂合突变的患者除MAC外，部分还伴骨骼关节发育异常(12/24，50%)；杂合截短变异发生在MAB21L2基因可导致MAC(5/5，100%)，而发生在MAB21L1则不致病。 结论：在2个小眼畸形家系中发现了MAB21L2基因1个新致病变异和1个已知热点致病变异，通过文献综述比较和总结了MAB21L1和MAB21L2基因的突变频谱以及基因型-表型相互关系，为此类基因缺陷导致遗传病的诊断和鉴别诊断提供依据。
Objective: To summarize the genetic variations and clinical features of the MAB21L2 and compare them with the highly homologous MAB21L1 gene. Methods: A genotype -genotype analysis was performed on the patients with MAB21L2 gene variants in the clinical genetic database of Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Sun Yat-sen University. A retrospective review was undertaken to analyze the phenotype-genotype correlations of MAB21L2 gene variants and the highly homologous MAB21L1 gene variants reported in the previous literature. Results: Two heterozygous MAB21L2 gene variants were identified in two families with microphthalmia: Proband 1 carried the known variant c.151C>G/p.(Arg51Gly), presenting with bilateral microphthalmia with iris-choroidal coloboma and flexion of joints. The mother carried the same heterozygous variant but had a normal phenotype. Proband 2 carried the unreported variant c.1042G>T/p.(Glu348*), manifesting as left-sided microphthalmia with a normal right eye and no other systemic abnormalities. Through literature review, we found that under a dominant inheritance pattern, 80% of heterozygous pathogenic MAB21L2 variants (20/25) and 100% of heterozygous pathogenic MAB21L1 variants (25/25) occurred in the amino acid region 49-52, resulting in microphthalmia, anophthalmia, and coloboma (MAC). Some patients with heterozygous MAB21L2 variants in this region exhibited additional skeletal and joint dysplasia (12/24, 50%). Heterozygous truncating variants in MAB21L2 led to MAC (5/5, 100%), while those in MAB21L1 were non-pathogenic. Conclusions: This study identified a novel pathogenic variant and a known hotspot pathogenic variant of MAB21L2 in two families with microphthalmia. Through a comprehensive literature review, we compared and summarized the mutation spectrums and genotype-phenotype correlations of MAB21L1 and MAB21L2 genes, providing valuable insights for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of genetic diseases caused by these gene defects.
Stargardt病(STGD1, OMIM#248200)是最常见的遗传性黄斑营养不良，是由ABCA4基因突变引起的常染色体隐性遗传病。该病通常在儿童晚期或成年早期发病，导致视力进行性、不可逆地损害。近年研究者在STGD1临床和分子特征以及潜在的病理生理学方面取得的重大进展，促成了许多已完成的、正在进行的和计划中的新疗法的人体临床试验。文章聚焦于STGD1的基因治疗研究进展。STGD1基因治疗的主要障碍是ABCA4基因序列过长以及ABCA4基因在光感受器细胞中的特异性转导效率不高。解决这一问题的关键是研究出具有大运载量和能高效将ABCA4基因转导进光感受器细胞的载体。目前STGD1的基因治疗策略主要包括腺相关病毒(adeno-associated viral, AAV)载体、慢病毒载体、纳米颗粒、光遗传学和反义寡核苷酸等。随着研究的深入，未来有望开发出针对STGD1的有效基因治疗方法，为患者带来新的治疗希望。该综述为临床应用和科学研究提供了宝贵的参考和思路。
Stargardt disease (STGD1, OMIM#248200) is the most common hereditary macular dystrophy, caused by mutations in the ABCA4 gene, and is an autosomal recessive inherited disorder. The disease typically manifests in late childhood or early adulthood, leading to progressive and irreversible visual impairment. Significant advances in understanding the clinical and molecular characteristics, as well as the underlying pathophysiology, have ultimately facilitated numerous human clinical trials of new therapies that have been completed, are ongoing, and are planned. This review focuses on the progress in gene therapy research for STGD1. The primary obstacle in STGD1 gene therapy is the lengthy sequence of the ABCA4 gene and the low efficiency of specific transduction of the ABCA4 gene into photoreceptor cells. The key to addressing this issue is to develop a vector with a large carrying capacity that can efficiently transduce the ABCA4 gene into photoreceptor cells. Current gene therapy strategies for STGD1 mainly include adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors, lentiviral vectors, nanoparticles, optogenetics, and antisense oligonucleotides(AONs). With the deepening of research, it is hoped that effective gene therapy methods for STGD1 will be developed in the future, bringing new therapeutic hope to patients. This review provides valuable references and ideas for clinical applications and scientific research.

目的：探讨基因多态性与2型糖尿病(type 2 diabetes mellitus，T2DM)患者发生增生性糖尿病性视网膜病变(proliferative diabetic retinopathy，PDR)的相关性。方法：2019年1月至2020年9月桂林医学院附属医院收治的700名T2DM患者，分为无糖尿病性视网膜病变(non-diabetic retinopathy，NDR)组(n=386)与PDR组(n=314)。收集临床基本资料，抽取患者外周血，使用竞争性等位基因特异性聚合酶链反应(kompetitive allele specific polymerase chain reaction，KASP)基因分型检测法检测两组患者血清中的内皮素-1(endothelin 1，EDN1)基因的rs5370位点和补体因子H(complement factor H，CFH)基因的rs800292位点基因型。用logistic回归分析这2个基因位点的多态性与广西汉族T2DM患PDR的关系。结果：收缩压、使用胰岛素治疗以及肾小球滤过率(glomerular filtration rate，GFR)的分析结果显示两组间差异有统计学意义(P收缩压=0.025，P胰岛素=0.001，PGFR=0.013)。排除以上混杂因素后，EDN1基因的rs5370位点上TT基因型与PDR易感性呈正相关(P=0.03，OR=2.973；adj.P=0.011，OR=2.718)；CFH基因的rs800292位点上AA基因型与PDR易感性呈正相关(P=0.037，OR=1.949；adj.P=0.044，OR=2.058)。结论：收缩压增高、GFR降低可能与T2DM患者发生PDR相关。EDN1基因的rs5370位点与CFH基因的rs800292位点的多态性与广西汉族人群的PDR易感性显著相关。
Objective: To investigate the relationship between gene-polymorphisms and proliferative diabetic retinopathy in patients who have type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Method: A total of 700 hospitalized T2DM patients were included in this study from January 2019 to September 2020. They were divided into two groups: the no-diabetic retinopathy (NDR) group (n=386) and the proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) group (n=314). Basic clinical data were collected, and clinical indexes affecting diabetic retinopathy were analyzed. Two tag SNPs rs5370 in endothelin 1 (EDN1) and rs800292 in complement factor H (CFH) were examined using kompetitive allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (KASP) genotyping assays. Logistic regression was used to analyse the relationship between the polymorphisms of these two SNPs and PDR in a Guangxi Han population with T2DM. Results: Significant differences were found through the analysis of the systolic blood pressure—whether using insulin or not—and the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) between the two groups (Psystolic blood pressure=0.025, Pinsulin=0.001, PGFR=0.013) The TT genotype of rs5370 was determined to be associated with an increased risk of PDR (P=0.03, OR=2.973; adj.P=0.011, OR=2.718). The AA genotype of rs800292 was also determined to be associated with an increased risk of PDR (P=0.037, OR=1.949; adj.P=0.044, OR=2.058). Conclusion: Increased systolic blood pressure and decreased GFR may be associated with PDR in patients with T2DM. The rs5370 polymorphism of the EDN1 gene and the rs800292 polymorphism of the CFH gene are significantly associated with the risk of PDR in Guangxi’s Han population.
