The Molecular Ophthalmic Genetics Laboratory is interested in human gene mapping, gene identification, mutation screening, population studies as well as in vivo and in vitro analyses of a number of human disease genes that were previously identified by our team.Our enterprise is to study biological pathways that are involved in the etiology of a group of blinding ocular disorders collectively known as, Glaucoma. In addition to 4 Glaucoma-causing genes previously identified by our group (CYP1B1, OPTN, WDR36 & GLC1D), we are currently aiming to identify & study the interaction of 100s of new genes that are expected to be involved in the etiology of different forms of Glaucoma, by employing a large collection of familial and sporadic cases and by utilizing the Next-Generation Exome & DNA Sequencing Methodologies. Ultimately, this translational research provides a valuable correlation matrix between the types of genes mutations (genotype) and variety of clinical presentations (phenotype) thus, paving the path for better patient management, drug development, Genome-based therapy and a comprehensive Personalized Genomic Medicine.

Molecular Genetics Studies of GlaucomaGlaucoma is a group of blinding inherited ocular disorders that affects over 70 million people worldwide. The clinical manifestation of this condition extends from birth to 80 years of age. Over the last 2 decades, our laboratory has identified and published 8 genetic loci for this condition {i.e., GLC3A, GLC3B, GLC3C for Primary Congenital Glaucoma (PCG); GLC1B, GLC1D, GLC1E, GLC1G and GLC1H for Primary Open Angle Glaucoma (POAG)} and further cloned 4 Glaucoma-causing genes {i.e., CYP1B1 (Cytochrome P450 1B1) as the first "PCG" gene; Optineurin (For Optic Neuropathy Inducing protein; OPTN) as the first “Normal Tension" Adult-Onset POAG gene; also WDR36 (WD40 Repeat Protein) and GLC1D for “High Tension" Adult-Onset POAG}. Over the years, we utilized a series of in vivo and in vitro experiments to determine the functional significance of these genes in the etiology of glaucoma. We cloned the orthologue of OPTN gene in both mouse and Rhesus monkey and further studied its mRNA distribution and protein in various human, monkey and mouse ocular and non-ocular tissues and cell lines. Ocular profilling of OPTN with 5 of its interacting proteins of FOS, RAB8, MYO6, Huntingtin and mGluR1a showed specific pattern of expression & differential co-localization with each of these OPTN-IPs. Similar studies for other glaucoma-causing and/or their proven interacting-proteins are the subject of future investigations.Molecular Genetics Studies of Other Inherited ConditionsOur laboratory also mapped and cloned CHX10 and OTX2 genes for Microphthalmia; HOXD13 for Synpolydactyly (Syndactyly Type II) and; GDF5 for Multiple Synostosis Type II. Furthermore, our research team had been involved in molecular genetics studies of Pseudoexfoliation Syndrome, Closed Angle Glaucoma, Rieger's & Axenfeld Syndromes, Optic Atrophy (Juvenile Kjer Type), Leber Congenital Amaurosis, Strabismus, Inherited Lymphedemas (Milroy & Meige), Learning Disabilities (Dyslexia) and Mitral Valve Prolapse.Ongoing StudiesCurrently, we are utilizing the Next-Generation Exome & DNA Sequencing Technologies to identify new defective genes for various forms of Glaucoma, as well as a number of other above-mentioned clinical disorders. Our aim is to establish a firm correlation between the type of gene-mutation(s) and clinical progression of the disease phenotype. This in turn can be used as a translational research tool for accurate clinical management of the patient population worldwide, as well as development of new drug therapies and, much anticipated, Personalized Genomic Medicine.
