We have recreated and expressed two known natural mutations within the LCAT gene which were reported on both alleles in a single case of familial LCAT deficiency. We demonstrate that the Ala-93-->Thr mutation is responsible for the biochemical defect while the Arg-158-->Cys mutation is a co-inherited natural polymorphism of LCAT which results in normal enzyme function.
我们重现并表达了卵磷脂胆固醇酰基转移酶(LCAT)基因内的两种已知自然突变,这两种突变在一例家族性LCAT缺乏症的两个等位基因上均有报道。我们证明,丙氨酸93位突变为苏氨酸的突变是导致生化缺陷的原因,而精氨酸158位突变为半胱氨酸的突变是LCAT的一种共同遗传的自然多态性,其酶功能正常。
