A novel mutation of the KIT gene in a Chinese family with piebaldism

Background Human piebaldism is a rare autosomal dominant condition characterized by congenital white forelock and depigmented patches of skin,typically on the forehead,anterior trunk and extremities.Mutations in the KIT gene have been proposed to be responsible for the underlying changes in this disorder.The aim of this study was to identify gene mutation in a Chinese family with piebaldism.Methods A Chinese family with piebaldism presenting with white forelock and large depigmented skin macules on the abdomen,arms and legs was collected.DNA was isolated from peripheral blood of the family members.The encoding exons with flanking intron regions of the KIT gene were analyzed by polymerase chain reactions (PCR) and direct DNA sequencing.Besides,DNA extracted from 100 ethnically matched population individuals was as controls.Results A heterozygous missense mutation c.2590T＞C was identified in the patients of the family.This mutation converted a serine residue to proline (p.Ser864Pro).The mutation was not found in their unaffected family members or normal controis.Conclusion A novel missense mutation c.2590 T＞C was found and it might play a significant role in the piebaldism phenotype in the family.

A novel nonsense mutation in BBS4 gene identified in a Chinese family with Bardet-Biedl syndrome

Background Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a genetically heterogeneous disease, and information about BBS in Chinese populations is very limited. The purpose of the present study was to determine the genetic cause of BBS in a Chinese Han family.

Methods Clinical data were recorded for the 4-year-old female proband and the available family members. The proband was screened for mutation by Sanger sequencing for a total of 142 exons of the 12 BBS-causing genes (BBS1-BBS12). The variants detected in the proband were further confirmed in the other family members.

Results We identified a novel homozygous nonsense mutation (c.70A>T, p.K24X) in the BBS4 gene exon 2 in the proband. Such mutant allele was predicted to cause a premature truncation in the N-terminal of the BBS4 protein, and probably induced the nonsense-mediated decay of BBS4 messenger RNAs. The proband’s parents and brother were heterozygous for the nonsense mutant allele. It was absent in 50 Chinese control subjects. An additional rare heterozygous missense single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) named rs200718870 in BBS10 gene was also detected in the proband, her father and her brother. Some manifestations of the proband including atypical retinitis pigmentosa, choroidal sclerosis, high myopia, and early onset of obesity might be associated with this mutation in BBS4 gene. The proband’s father also reported surgical removal of an extra finger during childhood.

Conclusions The present study described a novel nonsense mutation in BBS4 gene in a Chinese family. This homozygous mutation was predicted to completely abolish the synthesis of the BBS4 protein. We also detected a rare heterozygous missense SNP in BBS10 gene in the family, but did not ?nd sufficient evidence to support the triallelic inheritance.

A novel mitochondrial tRNA gene mutation in a chinese family with dilated cardiomyopathy and sensorineural deafness

Objective： To determine whether a mutation of mitochondrial DNA induces familial dilated cardiomyopathy in Chinese families with cardiomyopathy, and analyzed the correlation between the genotype and phenotype. Methods： Affected members in three Chinese families of the familial dilated cardiomyopathy underwent clinical evaluation and DNA analysis. Polymerase chain reaction and direct DNA sequencing were used to screen for mitochondrial DNA mutation. The type of mtDNA variations and clinical situation were analysed on the patients with mitochondrial DNA mutation. Results： The mitochondrial A3434G mutation was identified in one of the three families,the 3434 th nucleotide A was replaced by G, which led to change of amino acid. No mutations were identified in the clinically unaffected members of the family and all members of the other two families. Conclusion： This study indicates that the mitochondrial A3434G mutation maybe related with familial dilated cardiomyopathy and deafness.
