Abstract：

Objective To identify the F Ⅷ gene mutations of patients and suspected female carriers in 10 Hemophilia A (HA) families, and to guide the prenatal diagnosis. Methods PCR, denaturing high performance liquid chromatogramphy(DHPLC) and DNA sequencing technologies were applied to screen the FⅧ gene of 8 HA patients and 12 suspected female carriers in the 10 families. Linkage analysis was performed by using St 14 (DXS 52), intron 13 (CA)n and EX18/Bcl Ⅰ of the FⅧ gene in the HA families.In prenatal diagnosis, we screened the same mutation found in the patients. PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism was applied to detect the new missense mutations of F Ⅷ gene in 100 unrelated healthy individuals to exclude the possibility of polymorphism. Results (1) Five missense mutations, 3 frameshift mutations, 2 nonsense mutations and 2 single nucleotide polymorphism(SNP) were identified in 10 the HA families. Among them, c. 878A＞G, c. 1015A＞G, c. 6870G＞T, c. 1282delA, c. 3072_3073insT, c. 4880_4881insA and c. 5000G＞A were novel mutations or polymorphism. No missense mutations c. 878A＞G, c.1015A＞G and c. 6870G＞T, were found in the 100 healthy unrelated controls. (2) Nine suspected female carriers were confirmed at the gene level. (3) X risk chromosome could be determined in 4 HA families by genetic linkage analysis. (4) Among the four fetuses for prenatal diagnosis, 2 were normal, 1 was carrier and the remaining 1 was a patient. Conclusion Six novel mutations, i. e. , c. 878A＞G, c. 1015A＞G, c.6870G＞T, c. 1282delA, c. 3072_3073insT and c. 4880_4881insA, were identified in this study. PCR,DHPLC and DNA sequencing could be used to screen the gene mutations of HA patients, to carry out carrier detection and prenatal diagnosis of HA families efficiently, by combining with restriction endonuclease analysis and genetic linkage analysis.

RUNX2 analysis of Danish cleidocranial dysplasia families

Hansen L, Riis AK, Silahtaroglu A, Hove H, Lauridsen E, Eiberg H, Kreiborg S. RUNX2 analysis of Danish cleidocranial dysplasia families. Cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD) is an autosomal dominant inherited disease caused by mutations in the Runt gene RUNX2. Screening of 19 Danish CCD families revealed 16 pathogenic mutations (84%) representing 8 missense mutations, 2 nonsense mutations, 4 frame‐shift mutations and 2 large deletions in the RUNX2 locus. Eight mutations were novel, two were found twice, and polymorphisms were found in the promoter region and in the conserved polyglutamine/polyalanine repeat. A large duplication downstream of RUNX2 found in one patient suggests a possible regulatory RUNX2 element. The CCD phenotypes and genotypes adhere to the large phenotypic variability reported in previous CCD studies. Identification of large chromosome aberrations in or near the RUNX2 locus in 3 of the 19 cases suggests copy number analyses to be included in future RUNX2 mutation analyses.     

Cleidocranial dysplasia: molecular genetic analysis and phenotypic-based description of a Middle European patient group

Cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD) (OMIM 119600) is a rare dysplasia of osseous and dental tissue. Characteristic features are typical facial and dental appearance plus morphologic anomalies. RUNX2 (OMIM 600211), the responsible gene for CCD, is considered to be a master gene for bone development and bone homeostasis. This study describes the genotype-phenotype correlation based on craniofacial features involving an interdisciplinary approach. Our patient cohort consisted of 31 CCD patients from 20 families; five patients from two families were unavailable for clinical examination. Since CCD mostly affects the craniofacial region, phenotypic characterization of each individual focused on craniofacial and dental aspects. After recording patient medical and family history, the phenotypic data was analyzed using homogeneity analysis (HOMALS), a statistical procedure for data reduction in categorical data analysis. The coding sequence of the RUNX2 gene was analyzed using PCR, direct sequencing, and restriction endonuclease digestion. Eight unpublished and four known heterozygous mutations in a total of 14/20 index patients (70%) were identified. In total, we detected 7 missense mutations, 5 frameshift mutations, and 2 nonsense mutations in 14 index patients (35%, 25%, 10%, respectively). The overall CCD phenotype varied from mild to fullblown expression. Using HOMALS, we were able to discriminate four groups of patients showing significant differences in phenotypic expressivity, thereby simplifying the grouping of our large patient cohort into clear distinguishable entities. Analysis of the mutation patterns revealed that mutational frequency and types of mutations found can be attributed to the gene's structure and function.     

A novel mutation of gene CBFA1/RUNX2 in cleidocranial dysplasia

Cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD) is an autosomal dominant skeletal dysplasia characterised by abnormal clavicles, patent sutures and fontanelles, supernumerary teeth, short stature, and a variety of other skeletal changes. The disease gene is CBFA1/RUNX2, which is mapped to chromosome 6p21. Inactivation of the CBFA1/RUNX2 gene by mutations is involved in the skeletal defects that occur in patients with CCD. CBFA1/RUNX2 controls the differentiation of precursor cells into osteoblasts and is essential for membranous as well as endochondral bone formation. In this study of a 14-yr-old boy with typical CCD phenotype, the authors found a novel CBFA1/RUNX2 gene mutation. All of the amplified segments from the patient's CBFA1/RUNX2 gene were identical to those obtained in controls, except for the one spanning the exon 7 and intron/exon boundary regions. Direct sequencing of the PCR product showed a heterozygous T-to-A transition mutation at nucleotide 1182 in exon 7, leading to Y394X mutation. The predicted protein product lacks 128 amino acids, including part of the PST domain. Identification of this novel mutation constitutes a further step in elucidating the pathogenesis of this autosomal disorder.     

Deletions of the RUNX2 gene are present in about 10% of individuals with cleidocranial dysplasia

Cleidocranial Dysplasia (CCD) is an autosomal dominant skeletal disorder characterized by hypoplastic or absent clavicles, increased head circumference, large fontanels, dental anomalies, and short stature. Hand malformations are also common. Mutations in RUNX2 cause CCD, but are not identified in all CCD patients. In this study we screened 135 unrelated patients with the clinical diagnosis of CCD for RUNX2 mutations by sequencing analysis and demonstrated 82 mutations 48 of which were novel. By quantitative PCR we screened the remaining 53 unrelated patients for copy number variations in the RUNX2 gene. Heterozygous deletions of different size were identified in 13 patients, and a duplication of the exons 1 to 4 of the RUNX2 gene in one patient. Thus, heterozygous deletions or duplications affecting the RUNX2 gene may be present in about 10% of all patients with a clinical diagnosis of CCD which corresponds to 26% of individuals with normal results on sequencing analysis. We therefore suggest that screening for intragenic deletions and duplications by qPCR or MLPA should be considered for patients with CCD phenotype in whom DNA sequencing does not reveal a causative RUNX2 mutation. © 2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
