To describe the clinical and genetic characteristics of a Chinese family affected with optic atrophy 1 (OPA1).
Linkage analysis and DNA sequencing as well as PCR/restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis were performed to identify the disease-causing mutation.
A missense mutation, G401D in the OPA1 gene was identified, and the patients demonstrate inherited syndrome of optic atrophy and hearing loss.
The present study demonstrates that a mutation in the OPA1 gene can cause optic atrophy in Chinese patients, and supports the notion that OPA1 mutation may lead to OPA1 combined with hearing loss.
描述一个患有视神经萎缩1型(OPA1)的中国家系的临床和遗传特征。
进行连锁分析、DNA测序以及聚合酶链反应/限制性片段长度多态性(PCR/RFLP)分析以鉴定致病突变。
在OPA1基因中鉴定出一个错义突变G401D,且患者表现出遗传性视神经萎缩和听力丧失综合征。
本研究表明OPA1基因突变可导致中国患者出现视神经萎缩,并支持OPA1突变可能导致OPA1合并听力丧失这一观点。
