长距离PCR检测重型血友病A病人凝血因子Ⅷ基因倒位

为了筛查山东省重型血友病A(hemophiliaA，HA)凝血因子Ⅶ基因倒位的患并检出携带，采用长距离DNA扩增(LD-PCR)方法，以0．6％琼脂糖凝胶电泳技术，检测临床上确诊的55例重型HA患及其家系成员中是否存在凝血因子Ⅷ(FⅧ)基因倒位。电泳出现11kb带，示凝血因子Ⅷ基因倒位；12kb带，示非倒位；这两条带同时出现为凝血因子Ⅷ基因倒位携带。结果表明：55例无亲缘关系的重型HA患中，发现22例患(或家系成员)有凝血因子Ⅷ基因倒位，占重型HA患的40%；15个家系中查出基因倒位携带5名。结论：运用LD-PCR技术可以准确、简便、快速地检测重型血友病A患是否存在凝血因子Ⅷ基因倒位。

Long Distance-PCR for Detection of Factor Ⅷ Gene Inversion in Patients with Severe Hemophilia A

The aim of current study was to detect intron 22 inversion of factor VIII gene in severe hemophilia A (HA) patients and screen the carriers of the gene inversion. Fifty-five cases of severe HA were involved and factor VIII gene inversion was detected and identified by long distance-PCR (LD-PCR) and 0.6% agarose gel electrophoresis. The 11 kb and 12 kb bands indicate the factor VIII gene inversion and non-inversion, respectively. Occurring of both 11 kb and 12 kb bands indicates a carrier of the inversion. The results showed that factor VIII gene inversion existed in 22 out of 55 cases, which accounted for about 40% of total detected patients. Five carriers of factor VIII gene inversion were diagnosed from the members in 15 families. In conclusion, LD-PCR assay is a simple, rapid and accurate method for detection of factor VIII gene inversion, and this approach is helpful in screening, carrier testing, and prenatal diagnosis of severe hemophilia A.
