AbstractPurposeTo identify the pathogenic variants associated with POAG by using Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) data of a large South Indian family.MethodsWe recruited a large five generation of South Indian family (n=84) with positive family history of POAG. All study participants had comprehensive ocular evaluation (of the 84, 19 study subjects were diagnosed as POAG). Sanger sequencing of the candidate genes associated with POAG (MYOC, OPTN and TBK1) showed no genetic variation in the POAG affected family members. Therefore, we performed whole exome sequencing (WES) for 16 samples including (9 POAG and 7 unaffected controls) and the data was analysed using an in-house pipeline for prioritizing the pathogenic variants based on its segregation among the POAG individual.ResultsWe identified one novel and five low-frequency pathogenic variants with consistent co-segregation in all affected individuals. The variant c.G3719A in RPGR-interacting domain of RPGRIP1 that segregated heterozygously with the six POAG cases is distinct from variants causing photoreceptor dystrophies, reported to affect the RPGR protein complex signaling in primary cilia. The cilia in TM cells has been reported to mediate the intraocular pressure (IOP) sensation. Furthermore, we identified a novel c.A1295G variant in Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factors Gene 40 (ARHGEF40) and likely pathogenic variant in the RPGR gene, suggesting that they may alter the RhoA activity essential for IOP regulationConclusionOur study supports that low-frequency pathogenic variants in multiple genes and pathways probably affect the pathogenesis of Primary Open Angle Glaucoma in the large South Indian family.
