To investigate the incidence of intron 22 inversion (INV22) of factor VIII (FVIII) gene in severe hemophilia A (HA) patients, clarify its pathological mechanism, and identify INV22 carrier in the female family members.
One-stage method was used to assay the FVIII activity (FVIII:C)in 126 severe HA patients with a median age of 14 years old (range: 4 months-63 years). INV22 was analyzed by long-distance polymerase chain reaction (LD-PCR) and pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), and pedigree were conducted in 3 involved HA families.
Of all the 126 severe HA, 52 (41.3%) cases had the INV22. Four females including 3 mothers and 1 sister of probands were diagnosed as INV22 carriers among 11 suspected carrier mosaicisms from 3 INV22 positive HA families. In 8 females from one family without HA history, the patient's mother was a INV22 carrier, but her maternal grandmother, 2 maternal aunts, 2 female siblings and 1 elder female cousin were negative.
LD-PCR and PFGE could be used to diagnose severe HA patients with INV22 and identify the carriers.
探讨重度甲型血友病(HA)患者凝血因子VIII(FVIII)基因内含子22倒位(INV22)的发生率,阐明其发病机制,并在女性家庭成员中鉴定INV22携带者。
采用一期法检测126例重度HA患者的FVIII活性(FVIII:C),患者年龄中位数为14岁(范围:4个月至63岁)。通过长距离聚合酶链反应(LD-PCR)和脉冲场凝胶电泳(PFGE)分析INV22,并对3个受累的HA家系进行系谱分析。
126例重度HA患者中,52例(41.3%)存在INV22。在3个INV22阳性HA家系的11名疑似携带者嵌合体中,4名女性(包括3名先证者的母亲和1名姐妹)被诊断为INV22携带者。在一个无HA病史家庭的8名女性中,患者的母亲是INV22携带者,但她的外祖母、2名姨母、2名女性兄弟姐妹和1名表姐均为阴性。
LD-PCR和PFGE可用于诊断伴有INV22的重度HA患者并鉴定携带者。
