To identify the mutation in the keratin 6A(K6A) gene in a pedigree with pachyonychia congenita type I (PC-I).
Blood samples were obtained from 2 affected, 3 unaffected members in this family, and 100 unrelated healthy individuals. Mutation detection was carried out by PCR amplification of the K6A gene and direct DNA sequencing.
A heterozygous mutation of T--> C transition at position 521 in exon 1 of the K6A gene was found in the 2 affected, but not in the unaffected members and 100 unrelated healthy individuals.
The mutation of 521T--> C in the K6A gene is the disease causing mutation in this PC-I family.
鉴定一个患有Ⅰ型先天性厚甲症(PC-Ⅰ)的家系中角蛋白6A(K6A)基因的突变情况。
采集该家族中2名患者、3名未患病成员以及100名无亲缘关系的健康个体的血样。通过K6A基因的PCR扩增和直接DNA测序进行突变检测。
在2名患者中发现K6A基因第1外显子521位发生了T→C的杂合突变,而在未患病成员和100名无亲缘关系的健康个体中未发现该突变。
K6A基因521T→C突变是该PC-Ⅰ家系的致病突变。
