BACKGROUND: Traboulsi syndrome is a rare disease clinically characterized by facial dysmorphism, abnormal spontaneous filtering blebs, ectopia lentis (EL) and multiple anterior segment abnormalities.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: An 18-year-old female was referred to the Emergency Service of Hospital São Geraldo (HSG) claiming decreased right eye (RE) visual acuity associated with ocular pain that was noticed approximately 2 months earlier. She underwent a complete ophthalmic and physical examination including hands, ankle, wrist and chest X-ray, abdominal ultrasound, echocardiogram and genetic analysis (whole-exome sequencing).
RESULTS: The ophthalmic examination revealed a high myopia with spherical equivalent of - 9.50 D and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of 20/60 in RE and - 9.25 D with BCVA of 20/30 in the left eye (LE). Slit-lamp examination showed normal conjunctiva in both eyes (BE) and a superior-temporal cystic lesion in RE and nasal in LE; the flat anterior chamber in BE with the transparent crystalline lens touches the central corneal endothelium in the RE. Fundoscopy suggested glaucoma as the cup/disc ratio was 0.7, although the intraocular pressure (IOP) was 10 mmHg in BE without medication. Validation of data from whole exome demonstrated a novel splicing homozygous pathogenic variant (PV) (c.1765-1G>A) of the ASPH gene as well as a heterozygous variant of unknown significance (VUS) of the FBN1 gene (c.6832C>T).
CONCLUSION: We here report a novel splice-affecting homozygous pathogenic variant in the ASPH gene that was detected in a Brazilian patient with clinical features of Traboulsi syndrome.
