Bel亚型与α1,3半乳糖基转移酶基因G952A多态性关系的研究

目的 研究红细胞ABO血型系统中B放散型的ABO基因分子遗传基础.方法 通过标准血型血清学试验鉴定了3例Bel亚型及15例对照B型样本,采用ABO基因分型PCR序列特异性引物、ABO基因第6及第7外显子PCR产物直接测序及克隆测序等方法进行ABO基因及亚型的定型.结果 在1例血型血清学检测为Bel亚型标本中,发现一个新的B等位基因.该等位基因与B101标准等位基因相比,差异仅在于ABO基因的第7外显子上nt952位G>A突变,导致多肽链Val318Met,定为B放散型(Bel)新基因,GenBank注册号为EF117687.而其余2例Bel型样本及15例对照B型样本含正常标准B基因.结论 首次在ABO基因编码区核苷酸930位后的错义突变中发现并报道了新B等位基因,表明1,3半乳糖基转移酶基因G952A多态性可能是Bel分子遗传机制之一.

The relationship of Bel subgroup and the G952A mutation of the α1,3 galactosyltransferase gene

Objective To study the molecular genetic background of Bel subtype at ABO blood group.Methods Three samples and fifteen samples were diagnosed as Bel subgroup and normal control samples by serological test,respectively.The extracted DNA was genotyped by sequence specific primer- polymerase chain reaction foilowed by sequencing for Exon6 and exon7 at ABO locus and clones were sequenced.Results A novel Bel variant allele(GenBank EF117687) was identified in a Bel individual.The Bel allele was different from the regular B101 allele by single 952G>A missense mutation in exon7.resulting in an amino acid subsfitution of Val for Met at 318 locus.No mutations were detected in the fifteen control samples and the other two Bel allele samples.Conclusions The mutation position was fimt found to lie on coding region of ABO gene behind nucleotide 930.The mutation of G952A in the al,3 galactosyhransferase gene may be one of the molecular genetic basis of Bel ohenotype.
