To compare the sensibility and specificity between single-stranded conformation polymorphism (SSCP) and denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC) in screening hMSH2 and hMLH1 gene mutations for the diagnosis of hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC).
Seven Chinese HNPCC kindreds were collected. PCR-SSCP and DHPLC were used to screen the coding regions of hMSH2 and hMLH1 genes and the abnormal profiles were sequenced by a 377 DNA sequencer.
Seven gene sequence variations of hMSH2 or hMLH1 were found. Among them, 4 variations were not found by SSCP, but by DHPLC. The sensibility of SSCP and DHPLC were 51.6% and 100% respectively, and the specificity were 66.6% and 93.3% respectively.
DHPLC has better sensibility and specificity in screening hMSH2 and hMLH1 gene mutation as compared to SSCP. DHPLC is an ideal method in the diagnosis of HNPCC.
比较单链构象多态性(SSCP)和变性高效液相色谱法(DHPLC)在筛查hMSH2和hMLH1基因突变以诊断遗传性非息肉病性结直肠癌(HNPCC)中的敏感性和特异性。
收集7个中国HNPCC家系。采用聚合酶链反应-SSCP(PCR-SSCP)和DHPLC对hMSH2和hMLH1基因的编码区进行筛查,对异常图谱用377型DNA测序仪进行测序。
发现hMSH2或hMLH1的7个基因序列变异。其中,4个变异未被SSCP发现,但被DHPLC发现。SSCP和DHPLC的敏感性分别为51.6%和100%,特异性分别为66.6%和93.3%。
与SSCP相比,DHPLC在筛查hMSH2和hMLH1基因突变方面具有更好的敏感性和特异性。DHPLC是诊断HNPCC的理想方法。
