摘要
目的:报道1个涉及5代17例患者的常染色体显性先天性白内障(ADCC)大家系,并进行致病基因的定位。方法:对家系中8例患者进行眼科检查后明确临床表型,并提取所有血样的基因组DNA。首先对已报道的中国ADCC家系致病位点(9个基因的16个突变位点)进行DNA测序,然后根据已报道的17个ADCC候选基因和13个染色体区域,选取27个微卫星分子标记,应用LINKAGE软件进行连锁分析。结果:8例患者均为先天性核性白内障。直接DNA测序未发现有已报道的中国家系基因突变。所选取的27个微卫星分子标记与该家系致病基因均不连锁。结论:该ADCC家系致病基因不在已报道的17个ADCC候选基因和13个染色体区域,该家系中可能存在一个新的ADCC致病基因。
Objective: To report a large Chinese family in which 17 patients over 5 generations were diagnosed as autosomal dominant congenital cataract(ADCC) and map the related genes.Methods: Ophthalmic examinations were performed to verify the clinical phenotype in 8 patients of the ADCC family and genomic DNA of all blood samples was extracted.Firstly,direct DNA sequencing was carried out on all reported mutation points(16 points of 9 genes) in Chinese ADCC families.Then,27 microsatellite polymorphic markers,near 17 candidate genes and 13 chromosomal loci,were selected and linkage analysis were performed with LINKAGE software package.Results: Eight patients involved in the study were diagnosed as congenital nuclear cataract.No mutations were found in 16 points of 9 genes by DNA sequencing.There was no linkage between the selected 27 markers and the genes causing ADCC in the family.Conclusion: The causative mutation is not located on the 17 candidate genes and 13 chromosomal loci,which might suggest that a novel ADCC-related gene be responsible for the phenotype of this family.
