Abstract

Objective: To detect mutation of NDP gene in a pedigree affected with Norrie disease.

Methods: Sanger sequencing was used to analyze the NDP gene at Xp11.3. Prenatal diagnosis was performed on amniotic fluid sample after the causative gene was detected.

Results: Sanger sequencing has revealed a c.2T>C (p.M1T) missense mutation of the NDP gene in the proband and the fetus. The same variation was not found in ClinVar and HGMD database.

Conclusions: The c.2T>C mutation of the NDP gene probably underlies the Norrie disease in this pedigree.
