BACKGROUND
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a common, autosomal recessive inborn error of metabolism caused by PAH gene variants. After routine genetic analysis methods were applied, approximately 5% of PKU patients were still not diagnosed with a definite genotype.
METHODS
In this study, for the first time, we identified PKU patients with unknown genotypes via single-gene full-length sequencing.
RESULTS
The detection rate of PKU genotype increased from 94.6 to 99.4%, an increase of approximately 5%. The variants c.1199 + 502A > T and 1065 + 241C > A were found at a high frequency in Chinese PKU patients.
CONCLUSION
Our study suggest that single-gene full-length sequencing is a rapid, efficient and cost-effective tool to improve the genotype detection rate of PKU patients. Moreover, we provides additional case data to support pathogenicity of deep intronic variants in PAH.
背景
苯丙酮尿症（PKU）是一种常见的常染色体隐性遗传代谢缺陷病，由 PAH 基因突变引起。在应用常规基因分析方法后，仍有约 5%的 PKU 患者未明确基因型。
方法
本研究首次通过单基因全长测序鉴定了不明基因型的 PKU 患者。
结果
PKU 基因型的检出率从 94.6%提高到 99.4%，提高了约 5%。在中国 PKU 患者中，c.1199 + 502A > T 和 1065 + 241C > A 这两种变体的出现频率较高。
结论
本研究表明，单基因全长测序是一种快速、高效、经济有效的工具，可提高 PKU 患者的基因型检出率。此外，本研究还提供了额外的病例数据，支持 PAH 基因中深内含子变异的致病性。
