Zhonghua Yi Xue Yi Chuan Xue Za Zhi. 2019 May 10;36(5):480-483. doi: 10.3760/cma.j.issn.1003-9406.2019.05.016.
To delineate the clinical and genetic features of a Chinese boy suspected for Niemann-Pick disease type C.
The patient underwent clinical examination and was subjected to next generation sequencing. Suspected mutations were validated by Sanger sequencing. Potential impact of the novel mutation was predicted by SIFT, PolyPhen-2 and MutationTaster software.
The child has featured hepatosplenomegaly, increased direct bilirubin, jaundiced skin and liver damage. DNA sequencing showed that he has carried compound heterozygous mutations of NPC1 gene, namely c.2728G<A (p.G910S) and c.269C>G (p.P90R), which were inherited from his mother and father, respectively. The c.2728G>A (p.G910S) mutation was previously reported, while the c.269C>G (p.P90R) was a novel mutation.
The child has suffered from Niemann-Pick disease type C due to mutations of NPC1 gene. Above finding has enriched the spectrum of NPC1 mutations and provided a basis for genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis.
明确一名疑似患C型尼曼-匹克病的中国男孩的临床及基因特征。
对该患者进行临床检查,并进行二代测序。通过桑格测序验证疑似突变。利用SIFT、PolyPhen-2和MutationTaster软件预测新突变的潜在影响。
该患儿有肝脾肿大、直接胆红素升高、皮肤黄疸及肝损伤表现。DNA测序显示其携带NPC1基因的复合杂合突变,即c.2728G<A(p.G910S)和c.269C>G(p.P90R),分别遗传自其母亲和父亲。c.2728G<A(p.G910S)突变此前已有报道,而c.269C>G(p.P90R)是一个新突变。
该患儿因NPC1基因突变患有C型尼曼-匹克病。上述发现丰富了NPC1基因突变谱,为遗传咨询和产前诊断提供了依据。
