This study was to investigate the gene mutation of thiopurine S-methyltransferase (TPMT) in Uygur Chinese.
Polymerase chain reaction-based methods were used to analyze three commonly reported inactivating mutations-G238C, G460A and A719G.
One TPMT3A heterozygote and five TPMT3C heterozygotes were found in 160 Uygur Chinese subjects, and allele frequencies of TPMT3A and TPMT3C were 0.3% and 1.6%, respectively.
TPMT3C is a common mutant allele in Uygur Chinese, while TPMT3A is a rare mutant allele in Uygur Chinese.
本研究旨在调查维吾尔族人群中硫嘌呤甲基转移酶(TPMT)的基因突变情况。
采用基于聚合酶链反应的方法分析三种常见的失活突变——G238C、G460A和A719G。
在160名维吾尔族受试者中发现1例TPMT3A杂合子和5例TPMT3C杂合子,TPMT3A和TPMT3C的等位基因频率分别为0.3%和1.6%。
TPMT3C是维吾尔族人群中常见的突变等位基因,而TPMT3A是维吾尔族人群中罕见的突变等位基因。
