Purpose To identify disease-causing mutations in a Chinese patient with retinitis pigmentosa (RP). Methods A detailed clinical examination was performed on the proband. Targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) combined with bioinformatics analysis was performed on the proband to detect candidate disease-causing mutations. Sanger sequencing was performed on all subjects to confirm the candidate mutations and assess cosegregation within the family. Results Clinical examinations of the proband showed typical characteristics of RP. Three candidate heterozygous mutations in 3 genes associated with RP were detected in the proband by targeted NGS. The 3 mutations were confirmed by Sanger sequencing and the deletion (c.357_358delAA) in PRPF31 was shown to cosegregate with RP phenotype in 7 affected family members, but not in 3 unaffected family members. Conclusions The deletion (c.357_358delAA) in PRPF31 was the disease-causing mutation for the proband and his affected family members with RP. To our knowledge, this is the second report of the deletion and the first report of the other 2 mutations in the Chinese population. Targeted NGS combined with bioinformatics analysis proved to be an effective molecular diagnostic tool for RP.
