To determine whether the cystic fibrosis (CF) delta-F508 gene mutation predisposes to intussusception, and so selects infants who should not receive rotavirus vaccine.
Stored neonatal screening blood spots, retrieved from 81 infants with intussusception and from 79 controls, were tested for the presence of the CF delta-F508 gene mutation.
Prevalence of the mutation was similar in blood specimens from intussusception patients and from controls.
Testing for the CF delta-F508 mutation at birth is unlikely to identify infants predisposed to intussusception, and therefore is not relevant to rotavirus vaccine programs.
确定囊性纤维化(CF)Δ-F508基因突变是否易导致肠套叠,从而筛选出不应接种轮状病毒疫苗的婴儿。
对从81例肠套叠婴儿和79例对照中获取的储存新生儿筛查血斑进行CF Δ-F508基因突变检测。
肠套叠患者和对照的血标本中该突变的发生率相似。
出生时检测CF Δ-F508突变不太可能识别出易患肠套叠的婴儿,因此与轮状病毒疫苗计划无关。
