The human thyroxine-binding prealbumin (TBPA) gene was examined for restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) in normal subjects and a subject with euthyroid hyperthyroxinaemia, due to increased thyroxine binding by TBPA, using 16 restriction enzymes. Only Taq I and Msp I were shown to detect RFLPs. In a male of the normal population and one of his daughters, an additional Taq I site was found in the 3'-flanking region of the TBPA gene. The RFLP in a subject with euthyroid hyperthyroxinaemia was due to the deletion of a MspI site. All three subjects with RFLPs were heterozygous.
利用16种限制性内切酶,对正常受试者以及一名甲状腺功能正常但甲状腺素水平升高(因甲状腺素结合前白蛋白(TBPA)结合甲状腺素增加所致)的受试者的人类TBPA基因进行限制性片段长度多态性(RFLP)检测。结果显示,只有Taq I和Msp I能检测到RFLP。在一名正常男性及其一个女儿中,发现TBPA基因的3'侧翼区域存在一个额外的Taq I位点。甲状腺功能正常但甲状腺素水平升高的受试者中的RFLP是由于MspI位点缺失所致。所有三名具有RFLP的受试者均为杂合子。
