荧光原位杂交技术在遗传病诊断中的应用

目的探讨荧光原位杂交(fluorescenceinsituhybridization,FISH)技术在遗传病和产前诊断中的应用价值。方法应用着丝粒探针、特异性序列探针及染色体涂染探针等对36例常规核型分析疑有染色体异常患者的外周血和45例进行产前诊断的孕妇羊水间期细胞或中期分裂相进行FISH检测。结果检出的染色体异常类型有45,X、45,X/46,XX、45,X/46,Xr(X)、46,X,i(Xq)、47,XXY、46,XX,t(4;7)、47,XYY、47,XXX、47,XXY,inv(7)、46,XY,inv(7)、47,XX, 21,同时产前诊断出两例异常胎儿,分别是47,XX, 18和46,XY,der(15)t(Y;15)。结论FISH技术可以准确、快速地诊断各种染色体异常,是传统细胞遗传学的必要补充,可广泛用于遗传病诊断及产前诊断。

Application of fluorescence in situ hybridization in the diagnosis of genetic diseases

OBJECTIVE: To determine the value of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) to the diagnosis of chromosome abnormality in genetic diseases and prenatal diagnosis. METHODS: FISH was performed using appropriate probes, including alpha-satellite DNA probe, chromosome sequence specific probe and whole chromosome painting probe, to examine the blood samples from 36 patients who were suspected of having chromosome abnormality by conventional cytogenetics, and to examine the amniocytes from 45 pregnant women who were in need of prenatal diagnosis. RESULTS: Among 36 patients, the following karyotypes 45, X; 45, X/46, XX; 45, X/46, Xr(X); 46, X, i(Xq); 47, XXY; 46, XX, t(4;7); 47, XYY; 47, XXX; 47, XXY, inv(7); 46, XY, inv(7); 47, XX, +21 were detected by FISH. Of the fetuses of the 45 pregnant women, two fetuses with chromosomal abnormalities were diagnosed by FISH; the karyotypes were 47, XX, +18 and 46, XY, der(15) t(Y;15) respectively. CONCLUSION: FISH can precisely and rapidly detect the chromosome abnormalities. It is a complement to the conventional cytogenetics and can be widely used in the diagnosis of genetic diseases and prenatal diagnosis.
