Familial isolated GH deficiency type 1A (IGHD1A) results from deletion of both GH alleles. To facilitate detection of cases of IGHD1A, we have developed a rapid method that uses polymerase chain reaction amplification of small amounts of genomic DNA, digestion with a single restriction endonuclease, and visualization of DNA fragments after gel electrophoresis. Employing this method we have identified two subjects with IGHD1A among a cohort of seven Chinese subjects with severe growth retardation due to GHD.
1A型家族性孤立性生长激素缺乏症(IGHD1A)是由两个生长激素等位基因的缺失引起的。为便于检测IGHD1A病例,我们开发了一种快速方法,该方法利用聚合酶链反应扩增少量基因组DNA,用单一限制性内切酶进行消化,并在凝胶电泳后对DNA片段进行可视化分析。运用此方法,我们在一组因生长激素缺乏导致严重生长发育迟缓的7名中国受试者中,鉴定出2例IGHD1A患者。
