To explore the genetic basis of a pedigree affected with oculodentodigital dysplasia.
Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood or amniotic fluid samples derived from the pedigree. Exon 2 of the GJA1 gene was amplified for sequencing.
Two pedigree members were found to carry heterozygous missense variation of the GJA1 gene, c.221A>C (p.H74P).
The missense c.221A>C variation of the GJA1 gene probably underlies the oculodentodigital dysplasia in this pedigree.
探究一个患有眼牙指发育不全的家系的遗传基础。
从该家系的外周血或羊水样本中提取基因组DNA。对GJA1基因的第2外显子进行扩增以进行测序。
发现两名家系成员携带GJA1基因的杂合错义变异,即c.221A>C(p.H74P)。
GJA1基因的错义c.221A>C变异可能是该家系眼牙指发育不全的病因。
