完全型雄激素不敏感综合征家系致病基因突变研究

目的 探讨完全型雄激素不敏感综合征(CAIS)家系的致病基因突变.方法 采用PCR及直接测序的方法,对1个CAIS家系中的雄激素受体基因外显子1～8分别进行测序研究.结果 雄激素受体基因第6外显子发生G2683A错义突变,导致773位点的精氨酸被组氨酸取代Arg773His.结论 雄激素受体基因Arg773His位点突变是该CAIS家系的发病原因;对CAIS患者进行基因检测,可为遗传咨询、产前或植入前遗传学诊断提供依据.

Replacement of androgen receptor gene causes complete androgen insensitivity in a large family

Objective To confirm the clinical diagnosis of complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (CAIS) by molecular genetic testing in a large family. Methods PCR was performed to amplify the coding region of androgen gene, followed by direct sequencing in the patients with CAIS and relatives in this family. Results A missense mutation Arg773His was identified in the patients (homozygous) and carriers(heterozygous). Conclusions Mutation Arg773His in the AR gene leads to CAIS in this family. Molecular genetic testing of CAIS facilitates not only prenatal genetic diagnosis but also preimplantation genetic diagnosis and offers genetic counseling for future pregnancies to abandon the transmission of the mutated X chromosome to the coming generation.
