两个非综合征型耳聋家系中线粒体DNA 12S rRNA基因A827G突变

目的探讨线粒体DNA（mitochondrial DNA，mtDNA）12S rRNA基因与中国人非综合征型遗传性耳聋的关系。方法对两个母系遗传性的非综合征型耳聋家系中20名成员及32例散发耳聋患者外周血DNA进行12S rRNA、tRNA^ser（UCN）以及GJB2基因PCR扩增，产物通过限制性片段多态性分析及基因测序，进行突变检测和分析。结果所有研究对象的基因区域均扩增成功。12S rRNA全序列测定发现两家系中所有受检的母系成员（包括12例耳聋患者）均存在nt827A→G转换，并表现为同质性突变。而非母系成员该位点序列正常。32例散发耳聋中有1例A827G突变阳性。未检测到GJB2基因、tRN^ser（UCN） A7445G及12S rRNA A1555G突变。结论再次验证了mtDNA 12S rRNA基因突变在母系遗传性非综合征型耳聋发病中的重要性。首次发现mt DNA 12S rRNA nt827A→G转换是导致两个中国家系耳聋遗传易感性的分子基础。     

母系遗传耳聋大家系的线粒体基因组全序列分析

目的 在江苏淮阴一母系遗传非综合征型耳聋大家系中，寻找线粒体基因组上可能影响1555（A→G）突变表型的其他位点突变。方法 采用聚合酶链反应-限制性片段长度多态性分析（PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism，PCR-RFLP）和测序技术。检测了核心分支家系中27名母系成员的线粒体DNA上1555位点和7445位点的碱基变化，进而对该家系2名母系成员的线粒体全基因组和其他25名母系成员线粒体12S rRNA基因MTRNR1和tRNA-Ser^（UCN）基因MTTS1进行了全长测序。结果 再次证明了1555（A→G）突变是该家系成员致聋的分子生物学基础之一；并发现该家系27名母系成员的线粒体基因组中除1555（A→G）突变外，还同时存在有955-960（insC）同质型突变，两突变共分离。另外，新发现一个线粒体DNA突变——7449（insG），但该突变仅在2名母系成员中存在。结论 推测955-960（insC）突变可能通过改变12S rRNA基因的高级结构，并与1555（A→G）突变协同作用，提高了突变携带者对氨基糖甙类药物的敏感性；同时该突变可能也会导致线粒体蛋白质的合成缺陷。从而提高1555（A→G）突变致聋的外显率。     

一个遗传性非综合征型耳聋家系的突变分析

目的分析一个遗传性非综合征型耳聋家系的突变，并探讨缝隙连接蛋白beta2(gap junction protein beta 2，GJB2)基因235delC突变是否会加重线粒体A1555G突变导致的非综合征型耳聋症状。方法对一个母系遗传性非综合征型耳聋核心家系72个成员取外周血提取DNA，经聚合酶链反应扩增后，利用Alw26Ⅰ限制性内切酶酶切及直接测序验证，对其线粒体DNA突变进行研究；利用ApaⅠ限制性内切酶酶切及直接测序验证，筛查核心家系中GJB2基因235delC突变情况，并对GJB2基因235delC和线粒体A1555G突变的关系进行研究。结果在27名母系成员中均发现具有线粒体A1555G突变，呈母系遗传；具有耳聋表型的为21人(77．8％)，家族外显率高；所筛查的包括配偶在内的72名个体中，仅3例具有GJB2基因235delC杂合子突变，且均出现在母系成员中，但3例的耳聋表型却不同。结论线粒体A1555G突变是本家系耳聋遗传易感性的基础，在该家系中GJB2基因的235delC杂合子突变未加重线粒体A1555G突变导致的非综合征型耳聋。     

近亲结婚所致非综合征型耳聋家系的线粒体基因突变分析

A Korean family of hypokalemic periodic paralysis with mutation in a voltage-gated calcium channel (R1239G)

Hypokalemic periodic paralysis (HOPP) is a rare disease characterized by reversible attacks of muscle weakness accompanied by episodic hypokalemia. Recent molecular work has revealed that the majority of familial HOPP is due to mutations in a skeletal muscle voltage-dependent calcium-channel: the dihydropyridine receptor. We report a 13-yr old boy with HOPP from a family in which 6 members are affected in three generations. Genetic examination identified a nucleotide 3705 C to G mutation in exon 30 of the calcium channel gene, CACNA1S. This mutation predicts a codon change from arginine to glycine at the amino acid position #1239 (R1239G). Among the three known mutations of the CACNA1S gene, the R1239G mutation was rarely reported. This boy and the other family members who did not respond to acetazolamide, showed a marked improvement of the paralytic symptoms after spironolactone treatment.     

The genotype and clinical phenotype of Korean patients with familial hypokalemic periodic paralysis

Familial hypokalemic periodic paralysis (HOPP) is a rare autosomal-dominant disease characterized by reversible attacks of muscle weakness occurring with episodic hypokalemia. Mutations in the skeletal muscle calcium (CACNA1S) and sodium channel (SCN4A) genes have been reported to be responsible for familial HOPP. Fifty-one HOPP patients from 20 Korean families were studied to determine the relative frequency of the known mutations and to specify the clinical features associated with the identified mutations. DNA analysis identified known mutations in 12 families: 9 (75%) were linked to the CACNA1S gene and 3 (25%) to the SCN4A gene. The Arg528His mutation in the CACNA1S gene was found to be predominant in these 12 families. Additionally, we have detected one novel silent exonic mutation (1950C>T) in the SCN4A gene. As for a SCN4A Arg669His mutation, incomplete penetrance in a woman was observed. Characteristic clinical features were observed both in patients with and without mutations. This study presents comprehensive data on the genotype and phenotype of Korean families with HOPP.

目的通过对3个21-羟化酶缺乏症家系的21-羟化酶基因(steroid21-hydroxylase gene,CYP21)直接测序研究,探讨家系中该基因突变类型。方法收集4例患者及其部分家系成员外周血,提取基因组DNA,PCR扩增CYP21基因后直接测序。结果CYP21基因序列分析共检测到6种突变类型。家系1中患者CYP21基因存在4种杂合突变:clusteE6、Q318X、A391T、P459H,其中前3种突变串联排列于同一条染色体上,P459H突变目前国内外尚未见报道,A391T为罕见突变;家系2中患者CYP21基因存在clusteE6、R483W两种杂合突变,其中R483W为罕见突变类型;家系3中患者第4外显子存在I172N纯合突变。结论在3个21-羟化酶缺乏症家系中共检测出6种突变类型,其中P459H为新发现的突变,A391T、R483W为罕见突变。虽然导致21-羟化酶缺乏症的突变主要是一些从假基因(CYP21P)转位到CYP21的序列,但随机突变也是21-羟化酶缺乏症的原因。     

Identification of pathogenic mutations in two Chinese families affected with primary localized cutaneous amyloidosisCSCD

Objective: To identify potential mutations in two Chinese families affected with primary localized cutaneous amyloidosis. Methods: Peripheral blood samples of the family were collected with informed consent. Genomic DNA was extracted with a phenol-chloroform method. All of the 17 exons and their flanking splicing sites of the OSMR gene were amplified with PCR and subjected to Sanger sequencing. Suspected mutations were verified with PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism and high-resolution melting assays. Results: A missense mutation (c. 1538G>A) was found in exon 10 of the OSMR gene in all of the six patients from family 1. A missense mutation (c. 2081C>T) was found in exon 14 of the OSMR gene in all of the four patients from family 2. The same mutations were not found among the healthy controls. Conclusion: Two missense mutations (c. 1538GG>A and c. 2081C>T) were detected in the OSMR gene in two Chinese families affected with primary localized cutaneous amyloidosis. Our findings have further confirmed the pathogenicity of such mutations. © 2018 West China University of Medical Sciences. All rights reserved.     

Identification of mutations in the CACNL1A3 gene in 13 families of Scandinavian origin having hypokalemic periodic paralysis and evidence of a founder effect in Danish families

Familial hypokalemic periodic paralysis (hypoPP) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterised by episodic attacks of paralysis of varying severity. Recently, linkage was found to markers in 1q31–32 and to the gene encoding the muscle DHP-sensitive calcium channel α 1-subunit (CACNL1A3). Subsequently, three mutations in this gene were identified in patients with hypoPP: Arg528His, Arg1239His and Arg1239Gly. In this study, two different mutations were found in the CACNL1A3 gene in 13 Scandinavian families, 10 of whom have the Arg528His mutation while 3 families have the Arg1239His. Furthermore, there is evidence of a founder effect in 8 of the 9 Danish hypoPP families investigated, consisting of haplotypes of microsatellite markers close to and within the CACNL1A3 gene and of the geographic origin of the families. For the first time, reduced penetrance in males with the Arg528His mutation was found in several cases. Am. J. Med. Genet. 69:102–106, 1997. © 1997 Wiley-Liss, Inc.     

The relationships between the single nueleotide polymorphisms of CACNA1S gene 11 exon and thyrotoxic hypokalemic periodic paralysis in the people of Han Nationality in Sichuan Province, China

The present research was aimed to investigate the relationships between the single nueleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of CACNA1S gene 11 exon and thyrotoxic hypokalemic periodic paralysis (THPP)in the people of Han Nationality in Sichuan China. 100 male subjects were divided into four groups in this study, i.e., 22 patients with THPP, 23 patients with hypokalemic periodic paralysis (HPP), 33 patients with thyrotoxicosis but without hypokalemic periodic paralysis (NTHPP), and 22 healthy (control group) subjects. The sequences of the CACNA1S gene exon 11 polymorphisms, for the four groups respectively, were analysed by the SNPs method with polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) and DNA direct sequencing. A meta-analysis of three additional studies was also performed. Three SNPs of exon 11 of the CACNA1S gene (C1491T, T1551C, C1564T) were present in all the four groups. The polymorphisms C1491T and T1551C were present in both homozygotes and heterozygotes, while the C1564T polymorphism was present only in heterozygotes. The genotype frequencies of variants at C1491T and T1551C were not significantly associated with TPP (dominant model: P=0.530 and P=0.568; allele frequency model: P=0.563 and P=0.568). A Meta-analysis yielded combined odds ratio (OR) for TPP of 2. 12 (95% CI: 0.80-5.60) at C1491T, 2.90 (95% CI: 0.71-11.78) at T1551C, and 1.61 (95% CI: 0.36-7.26) at C1564T with the dominant model. These results suggested that three SNPs of CACNA1S gene exon 11 definitely could exist but could not be associated with TPP people of Han Nationality in Sichuan.
