    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: We aimed to identify pathogenic variations in the UbiA prenyltransferase domain-containing protein 1 (UBIAD1) gene in a Japanese family with Schnyder corneal dystrophy (SCD). STUDY DESIGN: Clinical study METHODS: Three clinically diagnosed SCD patients from a single pedigree participated. Patients 1 and 2 were 69- and 65-year-old sisters, and patient 3 was the 42-year-old daughter of patient 1. Blood samples from the patients were obtained for genetic analysis. Mutation screening of the two UBIAD1 exons was performed using polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based DNA sequencing. RESULTS: All participants were found to be heterozygous for the pathogenic missense variation c.695 A > G (p.Asn232Ser) in exon 2 of UBIAD1. CONCLUSION: This is the first report on the pathogenic UBIAD1 variation c.695 A > G (p.Asn232Ser) in a Japanese population. SCD is a rare corneal dystrophy, and further research on additional cases will aid in the elucidation of disease mechanisms and development of therapeutic strategies.
