Classical galactosemia (McKusick 230400) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase (GALT;EC 2.7.7.10) gene.
In the present study, we report molecular analysis of 14 unrelated Iranian galactosemia children with reduced or without GALT activity using PCR-RFLP and SSCP-Sequencing methods.
Q188R mutation was the most observed mutation with the allelic frequency of 57.1%. The allelic frequencies for S135L, Y209S, A320T, and K285N were found to be 7.1%, 7.1%, 7.1%, and 3.57% respectively.
Our results show that galactosemia is a heterogeneous disorder at the molecular level among the Iranian population.
经典型半乳糖血症(麦库西克编号230400)是一种常染色体隐性疾病,由半乳糖-1-磷酸尿苷酰转移酶(GALT;酶编号2.7.7.10)基因突变引起。
在本研究中,我们运用聚合酶链反应-限制性片段长度多态性分析(PCR-RFLP)和单链构象多态性-测序(SSCP-测序)方法,对14名无亲缘关系的伊朗半乳糖血症患儿进行分子分析,这些患儿的GALT活性降低或缺失。
Q188R突变是最常见的突变,等位基因频率为57.1%。S135L、Y209S、A320T和K285N的等位基因频率分别为7.1%、7.1%、7.1%和3.57%。
我们的结果表明,在伊朗人群中,半乳糖血症在分子水平上是一种异质性疾病。
