Abstract

Abstract:

Schneider′s crystalline corneal dystrophy (SCCD) is a rare autosomal dominant disease characterized by abnormal accumulation of lipids in the cornea. SCCD is caused by mutations in the UbiA isopentenyl transferase domain containing protein 1 (UBIAD1) gene. After UBIAD1 mutation, the molecular configuration changed, and then could not dissociate from 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutarate monoacyl-CoA reductase receptor (HMGCR). HMGCR could not be degraded through ubiquitin pathway, resulting in HMGCR aggregation in the endoplasmic reticulum, which increased cholesterol synthesis and caused SCCD. In this paper, the function of UBIAD1 and the molecular mechanism of SCCD pathogenesis were reviewed, which could provide the reference for the diagnosis and treatment of SCCD.

Key words: Schnyder′s crystalline corneal dystrophy, UbiA prenyltransferase domain contain-ing 1, Cholesterol biosynthesis, Lipid metabolism
