To determine the founder of Indian myotonic dystrophy mutation, we have studied the expansion of CTG repeats in myotonin protein kinase gene and two intragenic linked loci Alu(ins) / Alu(del) and G/T intron 9 HinfI polymorphism in ten unrelated DM patients from eastern India. Out of these ten patients, reconstruction of haplotype was possible for five patients unambiguously. In the other five cases, haplotype for the normal allele was assumed to be the most common haplotype found in normal individuals from Indian populations. Such analysis showed that in nine cases, the expansion of CTG repeats took place on Alu(ins)-HinfI-2 background indicating common founder with other DM mutation published. However, in one case we observed a different haplotype [Alu(ins)-HinfI-1] which could be a new mutation or due to admixture. 相似文献

We have studied the CTG repeat sizes in the DMPK gene and six biallelic markers which are in complete linkage disequlibrium with Caucasian DM patients, to identify any common founder haplotype in 30 clinically diagnosed unrelated DM patients from eastern India. Our results revealed that in 27 patients (90%), CTG expansion took place on a DraIII(-) - HhaI(-) - Alu(+) - HinfI(+) - Fnu4H I(-) - TaqI(+) haplotype (haplotype I), similar to what have been published for Caucasoid and other DM patients. However, in three patients (10%), the expansion of CTG repeat was on DraIII(+) - HhaI(+) - Alu(+) - HinfI(-) - Fnu4H I(+) - TaqI(-) background (haplotype II), indicating a new haplotype. The distribution of haplotypes in 52 normal individuals of eastern India revealed that percentage of haplotypes I and II were 23.1% and 7.7% respectively in normal chromosomes. Haplotype II is absent among Caucasian DM patients as well as normal individuals indicating that this particular haplotype may be characteristic of the Indian population. Hum Mutat 16:372, 2000. 相似文献

Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is an autosomal dominant neuromuscular disorder caused by a CTG trinucleotide expansion at the DM1 locus. In this study, we investigated the frequency distribution of various CTG repeats in normal alleles and haplotyped the normal and expanded DM1 locus in a group of Taiwanese people. In the 496 normal chromosomes examined, up to 18 alleles with different CTG lengths from 5 to 30 repeats were found and the frequency of (CTG)(>18) alleles was only 1.4% (7/496), predicting a low prevalence of DM1. In addition, there is no absolute association between (CTG)(5-19) alleles and Alu insertion/deletion polymorphism observed on normal chromosomes. All DM1 alleles examined, however, were found to be associated with the Alu insertion. Further detailed genetic analysis demonstrated that at least eight haplotypes, including a new haplotype (L), were present in the Taiwanese population and that all DM1 alleles were with the same haplotype (haplotype A) as that identified in Canadian and Japanese DM1 populations. These findings support the notion that the out-of-Africa DM1 alleles were originated by stepwise expansion from a pool of large-sized normal chromosomes with haplotype A. 相似文献

The myotonic dystrophy (DM) mutation is an unstable (CTG)
n
repeat, present at a copy number of 5–37 repeats on normal chromosomes but amplified to 50–3000 copies on DM chromosomes.
Previous findings in Caucasian populations of a DM founder chromosome raise a question about the molecular events involved
in the expansion mutation. To investigate whether a founder chromosome for the DM mutation exists in the Japanese population,
we genotyped families using polymorphic markers near the (CTG)
n
repeat region and constructed haplotypes. Six different haplotypes were found and DM alleles were always haplotype A. To
find an origin of the (CTG)
n
repeat mutation and to investigate the mechanism of the expansion mutation in the Japanese population we have studied 90
Japanese DM families comprising 190 affected and 130 unaffected members. The results suggest that a few common ancestral mutations
in both Caucasian and Japanese populations have originated by expansion of an ancestral n = 5 repeat to n = 19–37 copies. These data support multistep models of triplet repeat expansion that have been proposed for both DM and Friedreich's
ataxia.

Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a result of a CTG expansion in the 3'-untranslated region of the DMPK gene. DM1 is rare among African blacks who have fewer large CTG repeats in the normal range than other racial/ethnic groups. Neither the prevalence of DM1 nor the relationship of CTG expansion to clinical status in African Americans (AAs) is well documented. We describe two AA brothers with DM1, each of whom had CTG repeats of 5/639; their father was reported to have DM1 and had CTG repeats of 5/60. Other family members had CTG repeats of 5-14. An unrelated AA patient from a second kinship also had DM1; an analysis revealed CTG repeats of 27/191. In 161 Alabama AA control subjects, we observed 18 CTG alleles from 5 to 28 repeats; the most common allele had five CTG repeats. The frequency of CTG repeats >or=15 were greater (p < 0.0003) in Pygmy, Amhara Ethiopian, Ashkenazi Jewish, North African Jewish, Israeli Muslim Arab, European white, and Japanese populations than in the Alabama AA population. These data suggest that the risk for DM1 in AAs is intermediate between that of African blacks and whites of European descent. 相似文献

Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA) is caused by expansion of GAA repeats in the frataxin (FXN) gene on chromosome 9q13‐q21.1. We analysed the origin of FRDA in 21 North Indian (NI) and eight South Indian (SI) families using five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and a microsatellite marker spanning the GAA repeats. The NI and SI families were derived from Indo‐European and Dravidian linguistic backgrounds respectively. The frequency of large normal (LNs) alleles of the GAA repeat correlate with the overall lower prevalence of FRDA in India compared to the European population. All of the expanded alleles in the Indian population share a common core haplotype suggesting a founder effect. The expanded alleles in the NI population demonstrate more similarity to those of Europeans in terms of age of GAA repeat expansion (15975 ± 2850 years) and association of LNs with expanded alleles. FRDA seems to have been introduced recently in the South Indian population since the average estimated age of the mutation in SI is 5425 ± 1750 years and unlike NI some of the haplotypes of LNs are not associated with the expanded alleles. 相似文献

The triplet repeats mutation, which causes myotonic dystrophy 1 (DM1), is thought to have a dominant negative effect on RNA levels. In light of previous results using differential display analysis, the present study focused on the expression of CUG binding protein 1 (CUGBP1) mRNA. Northern blot analysis demonstrated that the quantity of CUGBP1 mRNA in three DM1 patients was approximately 70% of that observed in three normal controls (P < 0.05). In addition, a semi-quantitative RT-PCR assay showed that the relative amount of CUGBP1 mRNA was reduced in muscle biopsy samples from 10 DM1 patients compared to that from five normal individuals (P < 0.01) and 10 myopathic disease controls (P < 0.01). The amount of CUGBP1 mRNA was negatively correlated with the size of the CTG expansion (r = -0.85, P < 0.05). In vitro RNA-RNA binding experiments demonstrated that the incubation of expanded CUG repeats with CUGBP1 RNA generated a higher molecular weight band, which was digested by RNase III. The CUGBP1 mRNA was found to contain several CAG repeat sequences. These results suggest that the CUG expansion may bind to complementary sequences within the CUGBP1 mRNA and that this molecular interaction may affect CUGBP1 mRNA expression in DM1. 相似文献

Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is associated with an expansion of CTG repeats in the 3′UTR of the DMPK gene. It is accepted, as in other trinucleotide diseases, that the number of the repeats is correlated with age at onset and severity of the disease. However, assessment of genotype–phenotype correlation in DM1 is complicated with the expansion‐biased somatic instability of mutant alleles over time and difficulties in precise assessment of the number of repeats by standard Southern blot hybridization. In order to clarify this issue we defined DM1 expansion size in lymphocytes by three parameters: size of progenitor, average, and largest allele, using a more precise small‐pool/long‐range PCR technique. We found a negative linear correlation of age at onset and average expansion size in juvenile‐adult DM1 patients (35 out of 46) whose progenitor allele is less than 245 repeats long. Our result favors the hypothesis of the existence of a threshold in the progenitor allele size beyond which number of CTG repeats does not influence age at onset. Potential clinical significance is that the average allele size could be a useful indicator for the age at onset in juvenile–adult DM1 patients with relatively short progenitor allele. To test whether somatic instability of mutant alleles influences the progression of DM1, patients were divided in three phenotypic classes according to the severity of neuromuscular symptoms. We showed that the largest expansion in each DM1 phenotypic class reflects somatic instability of mutant allele over time independently of progenitor allele size and patient’s age at sampling. The mean of the largest expansion was significantly different between phenotypic classes, implying the possible association between expansion‐biased somatic instability of mutant alleles over time and progression of neuromuscular symptoms.

BACKGROUND: Polymorphism in the CTG triplet number in the myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1PK) gene has been proposed as being associated with idiopathic azoospermia. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the CTG trinucleotide amplification in the DM1PK gene is associated with male subfertility. METHODS: We evaluated 107 subfertile patients, male partners of infertile couples, affected by non-obstructive azoospermia (n = 38) and oligoasthenoteratozoospermia (OAT) (n = 69), and 102 men with proven fertility. Main outcome measures were CTG repeat size in the DM1PK gene, testicular volume, sperm concentration, rapid progressive motility, normal morphology, serum FSH levels, testicular histology and Johnsen score. RESULTS: In subfertile males, no minimal mutation or mutation carriers were found. The difference in the number of CTG repeat lengths between the groups was not statistically significant (P = 0.825). There was no correlation between the number of CTG repeats and the clinical parameters of subfertile patients: testicular volume, sperm concentration, rapid progressive motility, normal morphology, FSH level, testicular histology and Johnsen score. CONCLUSIONS: The number of CTG repeats in the normal or mutational range of DM1PK gene is associated with neither idiopathic male subfertility nor with clinical characteristics of male subfertility. 相似文献

Summary Myotonic dystrophy (DM) is caused by an abnormal expansion of an unstable CTG trinucleotide repeat in the 3′ untranslated
region of mRNA encoding a putative serine/threonine protein kinase. We analyzed 59 patients with DM (28 congenital DM families:
27 families with maternal transmission and 1 paternal transmission) and 27 normal control subjects to evaluate their CTG repeat
size between DM patients and the normal controls, and to search for a correlation between the clinical characteristics of
congenital DM (CDM) and CTG repeat expansions. Analysis was on the basis of the Southern blot and polymerase chain reaction
(PCR) methods, and by direct sequencing of PCR amplified CTG repeats. Analysis of intergenerational differences in the CTG
repeat size for mother-child pairs showed a positive correlation (y=1.0384x+1265.2,r
2=0.311). In addition to the strong parental bias, this group showed genetic anticipation. There was a significant correlation
of the CTG repeat expansion with disease severity. The largest CTG repeat expansion (2,293 CTG repeats) on average belonged
to the severe CDM group, and the smallest (129 CTG repeats) to the subclinical DM group. The mutant allele of an asymptomatic
father in the paternally transmitted pedigree revealed 75 CTG repeats, demonstrating that he was a DM protomutation carrier. 相似文献

The CTG trinucleotide repeat, in the myotonic dystrophy (DM) myotonin protein kinase gene, was studied by PCR analysis in a total of 246 unrelated South African Bantu-speaking Negroids, 116 San and 27 Pygmies. The size and distribution of the CTG repeat were determined and showed that the alleles ranged in length from 5 to 22 repeats. The most common CTG repeat is 5 (25% of chromosomes) in the South African Negroids but 11 (27 % of chromosomes) in the San population and 12 (22% of chromosomes) in the Pygmies. The southern African Bantu-speaking Negroids and San were found to have significantly fewer large repeat length alleles than do Caucasoid and Japanese populations. Since DM has not been observed in southern African Negroids, it is possible that the occurrence of fewer large CTG repeats in the normal range may, in part, explain this absence. It seems likely, that the rare DM mutation event postulated to have occurred on a specific chromosomal haplotype, occurred after the migration of humans from Africa. 相似文献

Myotonic dystrophy (DM1) is known to be an adult-onset muscular dystrophy caused by the expansion of CTG repeats within the 3' untranslated region of the dystrophin myotonin protein kinase (DMPK) gene. The clinical features of DM1 include CNS symptoms, such as cognitive impairment and personality changes, the pathogenesis of which remains to be elucidated. We hypothesized that the distribution of neuropathological changes might be correlated with the extent of the length of the CTG repeats in the DMPK genes in DM1 patients. We studied the neuropathological changes in the brains of subjects with DM1 and investigated the extent of somatic instability in terms of CTG repeat expansion in the different brain regions of the same individuals by Southern blot analysis. The neuropathological changes included état criblé in the cerebral deep white matter and neurofibrillary tangles immunoreactive for phosphorylated tau in the hippocampus and entorhinal cortex, both of which were compatible with the subcortical dementia in DM1 patients. However, the length of the CTG repeats did not correlate with the regional differences in the extent of neuropathological changes. Our data suggested that pathomechanisms of dementia in DM1 might be more multifactorial rather than a toxic gain-of-function due to mutant RNA. 相似文献

The most recurrent BRCA1/BRCA2 mutation in Sweden is the BRCA1 mutation 3171ins5. In the western part of Sweden this mutation accounts for as much as 77% of identified mutations in these two genes. Our aim was to analyse in detail the haplotype and founder effects of the 3171ins5 and furthermore attempt to estimate the time of origin of the mutation. In the study we included eighteen apparently unrelated families with hereditary breast and/or ovarian cancer. At least one individual in each family had previously tested positive for the 3171ins5 mutation. Polymorphic microsatellite markers were used for the haplotype analyses. The markers were located within or flanking the BRCA1 gene spanning a region of 17.3 cM. We found several different haplotypes both for disease alleles and for the normal alleles. However, a conserved haplotype of 3.7 cM was observed in the 3171ins5 carriers spanning over four markers located within or very close to the BRCA1 gene. As this haplotype was not present in any of the normal controls it is highly likely that this is a mutation identical by descent, i.e. a true founder. The results from the haplotype analyses were used to estimate the age of the mutation. Estimations based on the P(excess) and linkage disequilibrium gives a first appearance of the mutation sometime around the 6th century, approximately 50 generations ago. 相似文献

Friedreich ataxia (FRDA), the most common type of ataxia worldwide, is an autosomal recessive disease. Homozygous expansion of GAA repeats in the first intron of the frataxin gene constitute the major type of mutation that causes the disease. The prevalence of FRDA in diverse ethnic populations of India has not been widely studied. We have studied the distribution of polymorphic GAA repeats in the frataxin gene among 6 clinically diagnosed patients and 160 ethnically matched normal individuals, to gather information on the prevalence of FRDA in the eastern part of India. Homozygous expansion in the range of 250–730 GAA repeats was detected among the patients. Among normal individuals, we observed a unimodal distribution of GAA repeats, consisting of 10 different alleles ranging from 7 to 16 GAA repeats, where the 9 repeat allele had maximal frequency. Only 5.9% of all chromosomes were found to harbour >12 GAA repeats. Haplotype analysis using closely linked four bi‐allelic markers in and around the frataxin gene indicated that 66.7% of the expanded alleles harbour the ATCC haplotype that has been reported worldwide. This haplotype was present in 53.3% of the chromosomes with >12 GAA repeats, and accounted for only 3.8% of chromosomes with 7 to 12 GAA repeats. We found one novel haplotype, ACCT, among the expanded alleles as well as among normal individuals, though at low frequency; this haplotype may be characteristic of Indian populations. 相似文献

Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a dominant multisystemic disorder associated with high variability of symptoms and anticipation. DM1 is caused by an unstable CTG repeat expansion that usually increases in successive generations and tissues. DM1 family pedigrees have shown that ~90% and 10% of transmissions result in expansions and contractions of the CTG repeat, respectively. To date, the mechanisms of CTG repeat contraction remain poorly documented in DM1. In this report, we identified two new DM1 families with apparent contractions and no worsening of DM1 symptoms in two and three successive maternal transmissions. A new and unique CAG interruption was found in 5′ of the CTG expansion in one family, whereas multiple 5′ CCG interruptions were detected in the second family. We showed that these interruptions are associated with maternal intergenerational contractions and low somatic mosaicism in blood. By specific triplet‐prime PCR, we observed that CTG repeat changes (contractions/expansions) occur preferentially in 3′ of the interruptions for both families. 相似文献
