Refractive Surgery Department, Bright Eye Hospital RCV003150597 SCV003804500 likely pathogenic Keratoconus 2023-02-25 no assertion criteria provided case-control ALDH3A1 is thought to be involved in KC etiology.12-14 ALDH3A1 variants, rs1042183 and rs2228100, are strongly associated with KC in the Polish and Korean populations.12, 14 The association of ALDH3A1 with intraocular pressure15 and refractive astigmatism16, 17 have also been observed. Furthermore, the relationship between astigmatism and KC has been reported, as 14.1% of patients with more than 2D astigmatism suffer from KC.18 Our findings further demonstrated the association of ALDH3A1 with KC. A novel SNP in ALDH3A1 was detected, g.19644510G>A, (c.703G>A, p.Gly235Arg [rs761232139]), causing a p.G235R amino acid change. This variant is located in exon 6 of ALDH3A1 gene and is predicted as highly conserved among species and probably damaging. The variant was identified in all KC members from the family 2, which means that rs761232139 may be a risk factor for KC and inherited in a dominant model. The residue was considered as a distinct structural and/or functional sequence of ALDH3A1, which is adjacent to the active site Cys-243.
