一例类孟买型表型的分子机理研究

为了研究1例类孟买型的分子机理,在血清学方法初步鉴定先证者为A类孟买型的基础上,用PCR扩增先证者ABO基因第6、7外显子、FUT1基因（H）和FUT2基因（Se）的编码区序列,PCR产物经割胶纯化后直接测序分析,并应用PCR-SSP和基因扫描方法证实测序所发现的突变.FUT1基因突变通过克隆到质粒载体后测序分析.结果表明：直接测序发现先证者ABO血型基因型为A102A102,FUT1基因第682位A→G错义突变、第547-552位两碱基AG缺失（CAGAGAG→CAGAG）突变.克隆证实1条染色体上FUT1基因为A682G突变,导致M228V氨基酸突变;另一条染色体上第547-552位两碱基AG缺失,导致阅读框架发生移码,提前形成终止密码.FUT2基因为分泌基因Se^357和弱分泌基因Se^357,385杂合（第357位为T/T纯合,385位为A/T杂合）.结论：FUT1基因A682G和547-552 delAG双杂合突变是引起该例先证者表现为类孟买型的分子机理,A682G是一个新的引起类孟买型的FUT1基因突变.

Study on the Molecular Genetics Basis for One Para-Bombay Phenotype

To investigate the molecular genetics basis for one para-Bombay phenotype, the red blood cell phenotype of the proband was characterized by standard serological techniques. Exon 6 and 7 of ABO gene, the entire coding region of FUT1 gene and FUT2 gene were amplified by polymerase chain reaction from genomic DNA of the proband respectively. The PCR products were purified by agarose gels and directly sequenced. The PCR-SSP and genescan were performed to confirm the mutations detected by sequencing. The results showed that the proband ABO genotype was A(102)A(102). Two heterozygous mutations of FUT1 gene, an A to G transition at position 682 and AG deletion at position 547-552 were detected in the proband. A682G could cause transition of Met-->Val at amino acid position 228, AG deletion at position 547-552 caused a reading frame shift and a premature stop codon. The FUT2 genotype was heterozygous for a functional allele Se(357) and a weakly functional allele Se(357), 385 (T/T homozygous at position 357 and A/T heterozygous at 385 position). It is concluded that the compound heterozygous mutation--a novel A682G missense mutation and a 547-552 del AG is the molecular mechanism of this para-Bombay phenotype.
