Résumé
Oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) is a congenital heterogeneous group of autosomal recessive disorders characterized by the absence or loss of melanin in the skin, eyes and hair of the affected individuals. Based on the mutated gene, OCA has been classified into eight sub-types (OCA1-8) with overlapping clinical phenotypes. Mutations in the TYR gene cause OCA1, the most prevalent OCA worldwide including India. Mutations in OCA2 and SLC45A2, both of which regulate melanosomal pH that is critical to TYR activity, cause OCA2 and OCA4 respectively, the other common OCA subtypes in India. In the present study, we have included 54 OCA-affected cases from 41 unrelated families representing 16 different marriage/ethnic groups from 17 districts of West Bengal, India. We pursued a PCR-sequencing based approach followed by bioinformatic analysis to identify mutations in TYR, OCA2 and SLC45A2 genes. Mutations were detected in 27 of the 54 (50%) OCA patients from 18 unrelated families, representing 9 different marriage/ethnic groups from 11 districts of West Bengal. Three TYR variants: NM_000372.4: c.391 A > G, NP_000363.1: p. Lys131Glu; NM_000372.4: c.1037G > T; NP_000363.1: p. Gly346Val, NM_000372.4: c.715 C > T; NP_000363.1:p.Arg239Trp was identified for the first time in Eastern Indian OCA cases. A novel nonsense variant: NM_016180.5: c.389 T > A, NP_057264.4: p. Leu130* and a novel synonymous variation NM_016180.5: c.1092 A > G; NP_057264.4: p.364E = were identified in SLC45A2. Additionally, NM_016180.5: c.904A > T; NP_057264.4: p. Thre302Ser was identified for the first time in any Eastern Indian OCA case. We identified 2 previously reported mutations in OCA2. In concordance with previous reports, NM_000372.4: c.832C > T, NP_000363.1: p. (Arg278*) was the commonest TYR mutation. The results of our study enrich the mutational spectrum of the known OCA causing genes in Eastern India, which would facilitate accurate diagnosis, familial screening, carrier detection and containment of the disease load.

BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND
Oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) is a congenital heterogeneous group of autosomal recessive disorders characterized by the absence or loss of melanin in the skin, eyes and hair of the affected individuals. Based on the mutated gene, OCA has been classified into eight sub-types (OCA1-8) with overlapping clinical phenotypes. Mutations in the TYR gene cause OCA1, the most prevalent OCA worldwide including India. Mutations in OCA2 and SLC45A2, both of which regulate melanosomal pH that is critical to TYR activity, cause OCA2 and OCA4 respectively, the other common OCA subtypes in India.
METHODS
METHODS
In the present study, we have included 54 OCA-affected cases from 41 unrelated families representing 16 different marriage/ethnic groups from 17 districts of West Bengal, India. We pursued a PCR-sequencing based approach followed by bioinformatic analysis to identify mutations in TYR, OCA2 and SLC45A2 genes.
RESULTS
RESULTS
Mutations were detected in 27 of the 54 (50%) OCA patients from 18 unrelated families, representing 9 different marriage/ethnic groups from 11 districts of West Bengal. Three TYR variants: NM_000372.4: c.391 A > G, NP_000363.1: p. Lys131Glu; NM_000372.4: c.1037G > T; NP_000363.1: p. Gly346Val, NM_000372.4: c.715 C > T; NP_000363.1:p.Arg239Trp was identified for the first time in Eastern Indian OCA cases. A novel nonsense variant: NM_016180.5: c.389 T > A, NP_057264.4: p. Leu130* and a novel synonymous variation NM_016180.5: c.1092 A > G; NP_057264.4: p.364E = were identified in SLC45A2. Additionally, NM_016180.5: c.904A > T; NP_057264.4: p. Thre302Ser was identified for the first time in any Eastern Indian OCA case. We identified 2 previously reported mutations in OCA2. In concordance with previous reports, NM_000372.4: c.832C > T, NP_000363.1: p. (Arg278*) was the commonest TYR mutation.
CONCLUSION
CONCLUSIONS
The results of our study enrich the mutational spectrum of the known OCA causing genes in Eastern India, which would facilitate accurate diagnosis, familial screening, carrier detection and containment of the disease load.
