中国汉族人FUT2基因点突变初步研究

目的　了解中国汉族人分泌型基因 (FUT2 )点突变的情况。方法　采用直接测序法及分子克隆测序法对 4 1名中国汉族个体的FUT2基因进行检测 ,并与Kelly报道的分泌型基因的序列作比较分析。 结果　 4 1名中国汉族个体中未见G4 2 8A突变 ,但发现A385T和C35 7T突变 ,其中 2 4人有A385T突变 ,17人无A385T突变 ,而所有个体都有C35 7T的同义突变。结论　在 4 1名中国汉族人群中没有发现在非洲和高加索人非分泌型中常见的G4 2 8A点突变 ,但存在着A385T、C35 7T两种不同于白种人的FUT2基因点突变。

A study of FUT2 gene point mutation in the Chinese Han Population

Objective To study the point mutation of FUT2 gene in Chinese Han population.Methods Using direct sequencing,molecular cloning techniques and the comparing with the gene sequence reportedby Kelly, the FUT2 gene structures of 41Chinese Han individuals have were studied.Results The G428A mutations of FUT2 gene was not found,but the A385T and C357T mutations were found in the 41 Chinese Han individuals.Among the 41 individuals,24 had A385T mutation and 17 had no A385T mutation.The neutral mutation C357T was found in all 41individuals.Conclusion The G428A point mutation of FUT2 which is commonly found in non secretor of Africans and Caucasian was not found in Chinese population.There are A385T and C357T point mutations which were found in 41 Chinese Han individuals.The present stady shows the difference between Chinese and Caucasian,and other non secretor mutations will be revealed by further investigation
