To identify the disease-causing mutation in a Chinese family with brachydactyly type B (BDB).
Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples of family members. Exons 8 and 9 of the ROR2 gene were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequenced directly. Furthermore, the PCR products showing mutation were cloned into pMD18T vector and the insert fragments were sequenced.
A 1398-1399 insA heterozygous mutation was detected in the patient. This mutation had been found in German families with BDB.
To the authors' knowledge, it is the first report on identification of the ROR2 pathogenic mutation in Chinese patients with BDB.
鉴定一个患有B型短指症(BDB)的中国家系中的致病突变。
从家系成员的外周血样本中提取基因组DNA。通过聚合酶链反应(PCR)扩增ROR2基因的第8和第9外显子并直接测序。此外,将显示有突变的PCR产物克隆到pMD18T载体中,并对插入片段进行测序。
在患者中检测到一个1398-1399insA杂合突变。该突变已在患有BDB的德国家系中发现。
据作者所知,这是首次在中国BDB患者中鉴定出ROR2致病突变的报告。
