一个新的双重杂合突变Met306Val和Thr181Asn导致的遗传性凝血因子Ⅶ缺乏症

目的 对1例遗传性凝血因子Ⅶ（FⅦ）缺乏症患者及其家系成员进行凝血因子Ⅶ（FⅦ）基因分析,揭示其发病的分子机制。方法提取先证者及其家系成员外周血基因组DNA,聚合酶链反应（PCR）法扩增FV0基因8个外显子及其侧翼序列,核苷酸序列分析检测FV0基因异常;将先证者突变序列、家系成员和100名正常人相应序列的PCR产物用限制性内切酶EC091I消化,以进一步确定基因突变位点并排除基因多态性;用蛋白质分子模型模拟软件对基因突变的分子结构病理学进行分析。结果先证者FV0基因8号外显子的10833位核苷酸发生A→G杂合突变,导致Met306Val;先证者7号外显子的9643位核苷酸发生C→A杂合突变,导致Thr181Asn。家系分析前者遗传于母亲,后者遗传于父亲,先证者胞妹为A10833G（Met306Val）杂合子。蛋白质空间构型模拟分析发现,Met306Val突变位于FⅦ分子的表面,产生空间位阻影响蛋白的结构和功能。结论FⅦ基因Met306Val和m18lAsn双重杂合突变是导致该遗传性凝血因子Ⅶ缺乏症的分子机制;推测Met306Val突变改变了蛋白质分子的空间构型,从而影响FⅦ蛋白的功能。Met306Val突变是一种国际上尚未报道的新的突变类型。

Novel double heterozygous mutations on Met306Val and Thr181Asn related to a hereditary coagulation factor VII deficiency

OBJECTIVE: To identify the genetic defect of coagulation factor VII in a Chinese family with hereditary FVII deficiency. METHODS: Peripheral blood samples were collected from the proband of hereditary FVII deficiency, female, aged 15, 4 members of her family, and 100 healthy persons. Genomic DNA was isolated. All the exons and exon-intron boundaries of FVII gene were amplified by PCR, then the PCR products were sequenced by direct sequencing. Restrictive endonuclease analysis was performed in all of the family members and the 100 healthy donors to exclude gene polymorphism. Biostructural analysis of the mutated FVII was completed by molecular modeling. RESULTS: Double heterozygous mutations in the proband were identified: A-->G mutation at position 10833 and C-->A mutation at position 9643, resulting in Met306Val and Thr181Asn substitution respectively. Heterozygosity for Met306Val was confirmed in the proband's mother and her elder sister; heterozygosity for Thr181Asn was confirmed in the proband's father. It was found by computer simulated molecular model that the Met306Val replacement, which was located on the surface of the FVII molecule, might cause steric hindrance and change the configuration and function of FVII protein. CONCLUSION: Double heterozygous mutations for Met306Val and Thr181Asn in FVII gene have been found in a proband with hereditary FVII deficiency. The Met306Val substitution in FVII gene is a novel mutation in hereditary FVII deficiency. The heterozygous mutation of FVII gene may change the configuration of FVII protein and result in FVII dysfunction.
