Mutations in the presenilin 1 (PS1) gene are responsible for approximately 50% of early onset autosomal-dominant Alzheimer's disease cases. A PCR based mutation detection method, chemical cleavage of mismatch, was used to detect a novel PS1 mutation in the coding sequence of the PS1 gene. Sequencing confirmed a T to C transition altering a leucine to proline at codon 219 of the PS1 gene. This is a novel mutation in exon 7 of the PS1 gene occurring outside the transmembrane regions of IV and V.
早老素1(PS1)基因的突变约占早发性常染色体显性阿尔茨海默病病例的50%。一种基于聚合酶链反应(PCR)的突变检测方法——错配化学切割法,被用于检测PS1基因编码序列中的一种新突变。测序证实了PS1基因第219密码子处发生了由T到C的转换,导致亮氨酸变为脯氨酸。这是PS1基因第7外显子上的一种新突变,发生在IV和V跨膜区域之外。
