Factor IXSeattle 1 is a 10-kb intragenic deletion identified in a family that has hemophilia B. By sequencing across the site of the deletion, we discovered at the deletion junction a 13-bp sequence (5' . . . TAGAA-GTTCACTT . . . 3') that was homologous to two 14-bp sequences 10 kb apart in introns D and F of the normal factor IX gene. The presence of these homologous sequences in two different regions of the normal gene allows us to propose that genetic recombination has occurred between the sequences, resulting in the gene deletion. The precise recombination site was able to be localized to one of 5 bp (5' . . . AGTTC . . . 3') in the middle of the homologous sequences. The exact length of the deletion is 10,000 bp.
因子IX西雅图1是在一个患有B型血友病的家族中鉴定出的一个10千碱基对的基因内缺失。通过对缺失位点进行测序,我们在缺失连接处发现了一个13碱基对的序列(5'...TAGAA-GTTCACTT...3'),它与正常因子IX基因内含子D和F中相距10千碱基对的两个14碱基对序列同源。正常基因两个不同区域中这些同源序列的存在使我们能够提出,序列之间发生了基因重组,导致了基因缺失。精确的重组位点能够定位到同源序列中间5个碱基对(5'...AGTTC...3')中的一个。缺失的精确长度为10,000碱基对。
