一例Apert综合征患者的FGFR2基因突变分析

目的 确定1例Apert综合征患者是否存在成纤维细胞生长因子受体2(fibroblast growth factor receptor 2,FGFR2)基因突变.方法 收集患者及其父母的外周血,提取基因组DNA.采用PCR扩增FGFR2基因第7和第9外显子,对PCR产物进行双向测序检测基因突变.结果 发现患者FGFR2基因第7外显子的934 C→G突变,导致了FGFR2蛋白第252位丝氨酸被色氨酸取代(S252W),与国外报道的致病性突变一致.结论 FGFR2基因第7外显子的P34 C→G突变是该例Apert综合征的致病原因.

FGFR2 gene mutation in a Chinese patient with Apert syndrome

Objective To determine the disease-causing mutation in a Chinese patient with Apert syndrome (AS). Methods Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples of the AS patient and his parents. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to amplify the exons 7 and 9 of fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2)gene. Then PCR products were sequenced bi-directionally. Results A heterozygous 934C→G transversion in exon 7 of the FGFR2 gene was detected in the patient, which resulted in the substitution of tryptophan residue for serine at position 252 of FGFR2 protein (S252W). This mutation has been reported in AS patients previously. Conclusion This Chinese AS results from the 934 C→G mutation in exon 7 of FGFR2 gene.
