To set up the method of gene diagnosis of Wilson's disease (WD) by chromosome haplotype analysis and mutation detection.
This study selected 3 (CA)n repeat genetic markers,D13S316, D13S133 and D13S314 to construct the chromosome haplotype within 8 Han WD families. PCR-SSCP was used to reconfirm the diagnosis of the siblings of the probands in the families where in the disease-causing mutation had been detected.
One asymptomatic WD patient and 5 heterozygotes were detected.
In the WD families, the analysis of chromosome haplotype helps to make the diagnosis of siblings of the probands;for the WD families in which the disease-causing mutation has been ascertained, mutation analysis can provide direct and definite evidence for diagnosis. The combination of these two methods can provide more evidences for diagnosis.
通过染色体单倍型分析和突变检测建立肝豆状核变性(WD)的基因诊断方法。
本研究选取3个(CA)n重复遗传标记D13S316、D13S133和D13S314,在8个汉族WD家系中构建染色体单倍型。采用PCR-SSCP对已检测到致病突变的家系中先证者的同胞进行诊断复核。
检测到1例无症状WD患者和5例杂合子。
在WD家系中,染色体单倍型分析有助于对先证者的同胞进行诊断;对于已确定致病突变的WD家系,突变分析可为诊断提供直接确切的证据。这两种方法联合应用可为诊断提供更多证据。
