The top 10 most frequently involved genes in hereditary optic neuropathies in 2186 probands

Résumé

Abstract Hereditary optic neuropathies are caused by the degeneration of retinal ganglion cells whose axons form the optic nerves, with a consistent genetic heterogeneity. As part of our diagnostic activity, we retrospectively evaluated the combination of Leber hereditary optic neuropathy mutations testing with the exon sequencing of 87 nuclear genes on 2,186 patients referred for suspected hereditary optic neuropathies. The positive diagnosis rate in individuals referred for Leber hereditary optic neuropathy testing was 18% (199/1,126 index cases), with 92% (184/199) carrying one of the three main pathogenic variants of mitochondrial DNA (m.11778G > A, 66.5%; m.3460G > A, 15% and m.14484T > C, 11%). The positive diagnosis rate in individuals referred for autosomal dominant or recessive optic neuropathies was 27% (451/1,680 index cases), with 10 genes accounting together for 96% of this cohort. This represents an overall positive diagnostic rate of 30%. The identified top 10 nuclear genes included OPA1, WFS1, ACO2, SPG7, MFN2, AFG3L2, RTN4IP1, TMEM126A, NR2F1 and FDXR. Eleven additional genes, each accounting for less than 1% of cases, were identified in 17 individuals. Our results show that 10 major genes account for more than 96% of the cases diagnosed with our nuclear gene panel.
