To carry out genetic analysis for 21 patients with methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) and provide genetic counseling for their families.
Next generation sequencing (panel) was used to detect the pathogenic variants underlying the disease.
In total 29 variant sites of MMUT, MMAA, MMUT were identified in the 21 patients, with common variants including c.323G>A (10%), c.917C>T (10%), c.984delC (10%) of MMUT gene, and c.609G>A (45%), c.80A>G (10%) , c.567dupT (10%) of MMACHC gene. Among these, c.2000A>G of MMUT, c.298G>T of MMACHC and c.734-7A>G of MMAA gene were unreported previously.
Genetic testing for MMA patients can clarify the cause of the disease and provide a basis for the clinical diagnosis. Discovery of novel variants has enriched the mutational spectrum of MMA.
对21例甲基丙二酸血症(MMA)患者进行基因分析,并为其家族提供遗传咨询。
采用二代测序(基因 panel)检测疾病相关的致病变异。
21例患者中共鉴定出MMUT、MMAA、MMACHC基因的29个变异位点,常见变异包括MMUT基因的c.323G>A(10%)、c.917C>T(10%)、c.984delC(10%),以及MMACHC基因的c.609G>A(45%)、c.80A>G(10%)、c.567dupT(10%)。其中,MMUT基因的c.2000A>G、MMACHC基因的c.298G>T和MMAA基因的c.734-7A>G为既往未报道的变异。
对MMA患者进行基因检测可明确病因,为临床诊断提供依据。新变异的发现丰富了MMA的突变谱。
