OBJECTIVE:To screen for MYOC gene variants among sporadic patients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG). METHODS:For 398 patients with POAG, Sanger sequencing was applied to detect potential variants of the MYOC gene. RESULTS:Eight patients (2.0%) were found to harbor variations of the MYOC gene. These included five types of variants, among which c.667C>T (p.Pro223Ser) and c.1138G>T (p.Asp380Tyr) were novel. c.382C>T (p.Arg128Trp), c.1109C>T(p.Pro370Leu) and c.1130C>A (p.Thr377Lys) were previously associated with POAG. Alignment of amino acid sequences of MYOC proteins of various species revealed that the two novel variants have occurred at highly conserved positions. c.1138G>T was predicted to be possible pathogenic by Bioinformatic analysis. CONCLUSION:Two novel variants of the MYOC gene were detected among sporadic POAG patients, which enriched its variant spectrum.
