Lesch-Nyhan syndrome (LNS) is a rare X-linked inherited neurogenetic disorder of purine metabolism in which the enzyme, hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase(HGprt) is defective. The authors report a novel mutation which led to LNS in a family with a deletion followed by an insertion (INDELS) via the serial replication slippage mechanism: c.428_432delTGCAGinsAGCAAA, p.Met143Lysfs*12 in exon 6 of HPRT1 gene. Molecular diagnosis discloses the genetic heterogeneity of HPRT1 gene responsible for HGprt deficiency. It allows fast, accurate carrier detection and genetic counseling.
莱施-奈恩综合征(LNS)是一种罕见的X连锁遗传性嘌呤代谢神经遗传疾病,其中次黄嘌呤-鸟嘌呤磷酸核糖转移酶(HGprt)存在缺陷。作者报告了一个新的突变,该突变通过串联复制滑动机制导致一个家族出现缺失后插入(INDELS)从而引发LNS:HPRT1基因第6外显子中的c.428_432delTGCAGinsAGCAAA,p.Met143Lysfs*12。分子诊断揭示了导致HGprt缺乏的HPRT1基因的遗传异质性。它有助于快速、准确地进行携带者检测和遗传咨询。
