To analyze the penetrance of Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) individuals with mitochondrial DNA 11778 mutation in Shanxi.
Allele-specific PCR was used to detect mtDNA 11778 mutation in LHON patients and their families.
In 17 families of the 30 families that harbored mtDNA 11778 mutation, only the probands were LHON patients. In the other 13 families, besides the probands, 72 maternal relatives carried mtDNA 11778 mutation.
The penetrance of LHON individuals with mtDNA 11778 mutation in the Shanxi area is 55.6%.
分析山西地区线粒体DNA 11778突变的Leber遗传性视神经病变(LHON)患者的外显率。
采用等位基因特异性PCR检测LHON患者及其家系中的线粒体DNA 11778突变。
在携带线粒体DNA 11778突变的30个家系中的17个家系中,仅先证者为LHON患者。在其他13个家系中,除先证者外,72名母系亲属携带线粒体DNA 11778突变。
山西地区线粒体DNA 11778突变的LHON患者的外显率为55.6%。
