To explore the genetic basis for a pedigree affected with X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy presenting as spastic paraplegia of the lower limbs.
Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples of the patient and his mother. Potential variant was detected with a panel for genes associated with spastic paraplegia. Candidate variant was verified by PCR and Sanger sequencing.
Both the proband and his mother presented with walking difficulty. A previously known variant, c.623T to A (p.V208E), was identified in the ABCD1 gene mapped on chromosome X in both.
X-link adrenoleukodystrophy should be taken into account as a possible diagnosis for this pedigree.
探讨一个以双下肢痉挛性截瘫为表现的X连锁肾上腺脑白质营养不良家系的遗传基础。
从患者及其母亲的外周血样本中提取基因组DNA。使用与痉挛性截瘫相关基因的检测板检测潜在变异。通过聚合酶链反应(PCR)和桑格测序验证候选变异。
先证者及其母亲均有行走困难。在位于X染色体上的ABCD1基因中,二者均鉴定出一个先前已知的变异,即c.623T突变为A(p.V208E)。
对于这个家系,应考虑将X连锁肾上腺脑白质营养不良作为一种可能的诊断。
