Purpose. To identify the molecular etiology of a Chinese family with nonsyndromic macular dystrophy. Methods. Ophthalmic examinations were performed, and genomic DNA was extracted from available family members. Whole exome sequencing of two members (the proband and her unaffected mother) and Sanger sequencing in available family members were performed to screen potential pathogenic variants. Results. Novel compound heterozygous variants, c.1066C>T (p.Pro356Ser) and c.1102+2T>C, in the major facilitator superfamily domain containing 8 gene (MFSD8) were suspected to be involved in this family’s macular dystrophy phenotype. The novel c.1066C>T variant in the MFSD8 gene probably resulted in substitution of serine for proline at the 356th residue and was predicted to be “uncertain significance” through in silico analyses. The novel c.1102+2T>C variant in the MFSD8 gene was likely to affect the splicing form and predicted to be “pathogenic.” Conclusion. The novel compound heterozygous variants, c.1066C>T (p.Pro356Ser) and c.1102+2T>C, in the MFSD8 gene are likely responsible for the isolated macular dystrophy phenotype in this family. This study enlarged the MFSD8 gene mutant spectrum and might provide more accurate genetic counseling for this family.
