Summary A total of 14 unrelated German patients with X-linked iduronate-2-sulfatase (IDS) deficiency (Hunter syndrome, MPS II) showing variable clinical manifestations was screened for structural gene aberrations by Southern analysis. Using the IDS cDNA clone c2S15 as a probe, no Southern fragments could be detected in blots in the severely affected patient G-65 with respect to DNA digested by HindIII, PstI and TaqI, suggesting a total loss of the IDS structural gene. In this patient, the flanking loci DXS 297, DXS 296 and DXS 466 were tested. The locus DXS 466 is involved in the deletion, whereas both of the other loci are present. A normal 9.0-kb fragment disappeared and an aberrant fragment of 3.5 kb occurred in the HindIII blot of patient G-117. A normal Southern pattern was found in PstI and TaqI blots of this patient. This result can be interpreted as the generation of an additional HindIII restriction site by point mutation in an IDS gene intron.  相似文献

Summary We have isolated II-10, a new X-chromosomal probe that identifies a highly informative two-allele TaqI restriction fragment length polymorphism at locus DXS466. Using somatic cell hybrids containing distinct portions of the long arm of the X chromosome, we could localize DXS466 between DXS296 and DXS304, both of which are closely linked distal markers for fragile X. This regional localization was supported by the analysis, in fragile X families, of recombination events between these three loci, the fragile X locus and locus DXS52, the latter being located at a more distal position. DXS466 is closely linked to the fragile X locus with a peak lod score of 7.79 at a recombination fraction of 0.02. Heterozygosity of DXS466 is approximately 50%. Its close proximity and relatively high informativity make DXS466 a valuable new diagnostic DNA marker for fragile X.  相似文献

Summary The polymorphic DNA marker DXS304 detected by probe U6.2 has recently been shown to be closer to the fragile X locus than previously available markers. Its usefulness has however been limited by its relatively low heterozygosity. We have isolated, by cosmid cloning, a 67 kilobase region around probe U6.2 and have characterized a new probe (U6.2-20E) that detects BanI and BstEII restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs). The BanI RFLP has a heterozygosity of 0.49 and is in partial linkage disequilibrium with the previously described polymorphism, with a combined heterozygosity of 0.63. Furthermore, we have found that the U6.2 original probe, which probably detects an insertion-deletion polymorphism, is also informative in BanI digests. Thus, the two informative RFLPs at the DXS304 locus can be conveniently tested in a single hybridization with a single digest. An updated linkage analysis confirms that DXS304 is distal to the fragile X locus. This informative locus can now be used effectively for genetic mapping of the Xq27–q28 region, and for diagnostic applications in fragile X or Hunter syndrome families.  相似文献

A young girl with a clinically moderate form of myotubular myopathy was found to carry a cytogenetically detectable deletion in Xq27-q28. The deletion had occurred de novo on the paternal X chromosome. It encompasses the fragile X (FRAXA) and Hunter syndrome (IDS) loci, and the DXS304 and DXS455 markers, in Xq27.3 and proximal Xq28. Other loci from the proximal half of Xq28 (DXS49, DXS256, DXS258, DXS305, and DXS497) were found intact. As the X-linked myotubular myopathy locus (MTM1) was previously mapped to Xq28 by linkage analysis, the present observation suggested that MTM1 is included in the deletion. However, a significant clinical phenotype is unexpected in a female MTM1 carrier. Analysis of inactive X-specific methylation at the androgen receptor gene showed that the deleted X chromosome was active in ~80% of leukocytes. Such unbalanced inactivation may account for the moderate MTM1 phenotype and for the mental retardation that later developed in the patient. This observation is discussed in relation to the hypothesis that a locus modulating X inactivation may lie in the region. Comparison of this deletion with that carried by a male patient with a severe Hunter syndrome phenotype but no myotubular myopathy, in light of recent linkage data on recombinant MTM1 families, led to a considerable refinement of the position of the MTM1 locus, to a region of ~600 kb, between DXS304 and DXS497.  相似文献

This study identified mutations of the idurnate-2-sulfatase (IDS) gene in a patient with Hunter syndrome, and established a basis for the diagnosis of the prenatal gene of Hunter syndrome. Urine glyeosaminoglycan (GAG) assay was used to make the preliminary diagnosis of mucopolysaccharidosis type II. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from dried blood spots and DNA sequencing were applied to analyze hotspot mutations in exons 9,3 and 8 of the IDS gene in the proband and his parents. A new missense mutation (T1140C) in exon 8 of the IDS gene was found by using DNA sequencing. This mutation caused a substitution of codon 339 from CTA (leucine) to CCA (praline). The patient is a hemizygote, and his mother is a heterozygote. The new missense mutation results in a change in the primary and tertiary structure of the IDS protein. It is possible that this mutation severely impairs enzymatic activity and is the underlying basis for the pathology seen in this patient with Hunter syndrome. __________ Translated from Hereditas, 2006, 28(5): 521–524 [译自: 遗传]  相似文献

Frequent deletions at Xq28 indicate genetic heterogeneity in Hunter syndrome   总被引:10,自引:2,他引:8  
Summary Hunter syndrome is a human X-linked disorder caused by deficiency of the lysosomal exohydrolase iduronate-2-sulphatase (IDS). The consequent accumulation of the mucopolysaccharides dermatan sulphate and heparan sulphate, in the brain and other tissues, often results in death before adulthood. There is, however, a broad spectrum of severity that has been attributed to different mutations of the Hunter syndrome gene. We have used an IDS cDNA clone to localise the IDS gene to Xq28, distal to the fragile X mutation (FRAXA). One-third of Hunter syndrome patients had various deletions or rearrangements of their IDS gene, proving that different mutations are common in this condition. Deletions of the IDS gene can include a conserved locus that is tightly linked to FRAXA, suggesting that deletion of nearby genes may contribute to the variable clinical severity noted in Hunter syndrome. The cDNA clone was also shown to span the X chromosome breakpoint in a female Hunter syndrome patient with an X;autosome translocation.  相似文献

X; autosomal translocations are excellent tools for genetic analysis because of the easy selection of clones isolating the derivative bearing the HPRT gene in somatic cell hybrids. We have developed a strategy to select clones isolating the other derivative avoiding fastidious and time consuming technics, mainly based on immunofluorescent screening using MIC 2 and MIC 5 antigenic markers and we have succeeded in isolating in a rodent context the two X;5 translocated derivative chromosomes of a female patient with Hunter syndrome. The location of MIC 5 gene was specified between the IDS and G6PD DXS369 (RN1), DXS296 (VK21c), and DXS304 (U62), DXS52 and F8c (F814) are proximal and distal from the breakpoint disrupting the IDS gene respectively.  相似文献

We report the results of studies on the characterization of the mutation associated with marked unbalanced expression of the mutant X chromosome in a karyotypically normal girl with Hunter disease (mucopolysaccharidosis type II). Southern analysis of DNA extracted from somatic cell hybrids containing only the mutant X chromosome showed deletion of the Xq27.3-q28 loci: DXS297 (VK23AC), DXS293 (VK16), FRAXA (pfxa3), DXS296 (VK21A), and the 3' end of the iduronatesulfatase (IDS) gene. The flanking loci--DXS52 (St14-1), DXS304 (U6.2), and DXS369 (RN1)--were intact. On the basis of these results, we concluded that the mutation was a simple deletion extending a maximum of 3-5 cM to the centromeric side of the IDS gene. Both Southern analysis of DNA from somatic cell hybrids, using short segments of IDS cDNA, and PCR of reverse-transcribed RNA from cultured skin fibroblasts indicated that the telomeric terminus of the deletion was localized to a region near the middle of the coding sequences of the gene.  相似文献

应用尿黏多糖含量检测、干血滤纸片直接扩增、PCR产物直接测序法对患者及其父母等的IDS基因的突变热点exons9,3,8进行突变检测。发现患儿IDS基因的exon8发生一新的错义突变,突变部位在第339位密码子(CTA)内,即cDNA第1140bp的T突变为C,导致原339位的“亮氨酸CTA”突变为“脯氨酸CCA”。该患儿为这一突变的半合子,而其母为这一突变的杂合子。该错义突变改变了IDS酶的一级结构和三级空间结构,从而可能引起IDS酶活性大大降低,这可能是该Hunter综合征患者的真正致病原因。  相似文献

The mechanism of profound generalized iduronate sulfatase (IDS) deficiency in a developmentally delayed female with clinical Hunter syndrome was studied. Methylation-sensitive RFLP analysis of DNA from peripheral blood lymphocytes from the patient, using MspI/HpaII digestion and probing with M27 beta, showed that the paternal allele was resistant to HpaII digestion (i.e., was methylated) while the maternal allele was digested (i.e., was hypomethylated), indicating marked imbalance of X-chromosome inactivation in peripheral blood lymphocytes of the patient. Similar studies on DNA from maternal lymphocytes showed random X-chromosome inactivation. Among a total of 40 independent maternal fibroblast clones isolated by dilution plating and analyzed for IDS activity, no IDS- clone was found. Somatic cell hybrid clones containing at least one active human X chromosome were produced by fusion of patient fibroblasts with Hprt- hamster fibroblasts (RJK88) and grown in HAT-ouabain medium. Methylation-sensitive RFLP analysis of DNA from the hybrids showed that of the 22 clones that retained the DXS255 locus (M27 beta), all contained the paternal allele in the methylated (active) form. No clone was isolated containing only the maternal X chromosome, and in no case was the maternal allele hypermethylated. We postulate from these studies that the patient has MPS II as a result of a mutation resulting in both the disruption of the IDS locus on her paternal X chromosome and unbalanced inactivation of the nonmutant maternal X chromosome.  相似文献

Southern blot analysis of the iduronate sulfatase (IDS) gene in 52 unrelated Japanese patients with mucopolysaccharidosis type II was carried out using a cDNA probe, and mutations in 13 patients (25%) were identified. Of these, 3 had partial gene deletions (in 2 the normal 9.4-kb fragment was absent and in 1 the normal 7.4-kb fragment was absent, as determined by Southern blot analysis using EcoRI-digested DNA, respectively), 2 had gene insertions (in 1 there was a unique 11.2kb fragment and in the other there was a unique 5kb fragment, determined by Southern blot analysis using EcoRI digested DNA), and 8 had rearrangements (in 6 the normal 9.4kb and 7.0kb fragments were absent and a unique 11.2kb fragment was present; in the remaining 2 patients there were different rearrangements). In these 13 patients, the similar Southern blot patterns were indicative of structural alterations of the IDS gene, as revealed when their DNA was digested with HindIII or PstI and probed with IDS cDNA. All patients with these structural alterations were in a clinically severe state, except for 1 with an intermediate clinical phenotype. Our analyses of four families among those of the 13 patients revealed that all four mothers were carriers. The detection of structural abnormalities led to a precise identification of Hunter heterozygotes and revealed one de novo rearrangement in a germ cell of one of the maternal grandparents.  相似文献

We report the validation and use of a cell hybrid panel which allowed us a rapid physical localization of new DNA probes in the vicinity of the fragile-X locus (FRAXA). Seven regions are defined by this panel, two of which lie between DXS369 and DXS296, until now the closest genetic markers that flank FRAXA. Of those two interesting regions, one is just distal to DXS369 and defined by probe 2-71 (DXS476), which is not polymorphic. The next one contains probes St677 (DXS463) and 2-34 (DXS477), which are within 130 kb and both detect TaqI RFLPs. The combined informativeness of these two probes is 30%. We cloned from an irradiation-reduced hybrid line another new polymorphic probe, Do33 (DXS465; 42% heterozygosity). This probe maps to the DXS296 region, proximal to a chromosomal breakpoint that corresponds to the Hunter syndrome locus (IDS). The physical order is thus Cen-DXS369-DXS476-(DXS463,DXS477)-(DXS296, DXS465)-IDS-DXS304-tel. We performed a linkage analysis for five of these markers in both the Centre d'Etude du Polymorphisme Humain families and in a large set of fragile-X families. This establishes that DXS296 is distal to FRAXA. The relative position of DXS463 and DXS477 with respect to FRAXA remains uncertain, but our results place them genetically halfway between DXS369 and DXS304. Thus the DXS463-DXS477 cluster defines presently either the closest proximal or the closest distal polymorphic marker with respect to FRAXA. The three new polymorphic probes described here have a combined heterozygosity of 60% and represent a major improvement for genetic analysis of fragile-X families, in particular for diagnostic applications.  相似文献

A DNA marker closely linked to the factor IX (haemophilia B) gene   总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4  
Summary We have isolated a DNA segment, pX58dIIIc, from an X-chromosome library which identifies an SstI restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) at locus DXS99. Linkage analysis in six informative families has shown that the DXS99 locus lies close to the factor IX gene (F9). No recombination was detected between these loci in 39 informative meioses (Z=9.79, =0.0). Therefore, DXS99 will be useful as a DNA marker for the assessment of carrier status in families with haemophilia B where intragenic markers are not informative. Heterozygosity at DXS99 is approximately 50% and, in conjunction with the RFLPs at F9, 90% of females at risk for being haemophilia B carriers should be diagnosed.  相似文献

We are currently characterizing mutations of the iduronate-2-sulfatase (IDS) gene in patients with Hunter syndrome (mucopolysaccharidosis type II). Surprisingly, all 17 patients with a mutation in exon III of the IDS gene identified by us were found to carry both the mutant and wild-type sequences in polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products amplified from genomic DNA. Similarly, two unaffected male controls showed a heterozygous pattern for two different point mutations in exon III. Collectively, the data suggest that at least intron 2, exon III, and the 3-half of exon II of the functional IDS gene are present in the human genome as (part of) a non-expressed IDS gene. Deletion mapping further suggests that the pseudogene is in distal Xq in physical proximity to the functional IDS gene. The high degree of sequence homology observed between the functional IDS gene and pseudogene results in permanent co-amplification in PCR-based screening methods and makes mutation analysis at the genomic DNA level difficult.  相似文献

X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) is an inherited recessive disorder in which the primary defect is not known and the gene product has yet to be identified. Utilizing genetic linkage analysis, we previously localized the XLA gene to the map region of Xq21.3-Xq22 with DNA markers DXS3 and DXS17. In this study, further mapping was performed with two additional DNA probes, DXS94 and DXS178, by means of multipoint analysis of 20 families in which XLA is segregating. Thirteen of these families had been previously analyzed with DXS3 and DXS17. Three crossovers were detected with DXS94 and no recombinations were found between DXS178 and the XLA locus in 9 informative families. Our results show that XLA is closely linked to DXS178 with a two-point lod score of 4.82 and a multipoint lod score of 10.24. Thus, the most likely gene order is DXS3-(XLA,DXS178)-DXS94-DXS17, with the confidence interval for location of XLA lying entirely between DXS3 and DXS94. In 2 of these families, we identified recombinants with DXS17, a locus with which recombination had not previously been detected by others in as many as 40 meiotic events. Furthermore, DXS178 is informative in both of these families and does not show recombination with the disease locus. Therefore, our results indicate that DXS178 is linked tightly to the XLA gene.  相似文献

Summary A study of linkage between Becker muscular dystrophy and four X chromosome-specific DNA polymorphisms in 17 kindreds has indicated that this gene is located in Xp, as already anticipated by single pedigree analysis. In particular the DXS43 and DXS9 loci, identified by probes D2 and RC8, respectively, are closely linked to each other and are both located at approximately 15 cM from the Becker locus. These linkage data, together with the previously established linkage between Becker and the DXS7 locus identified by probe L 1.28, indicate that the Becker gene is located in the same region where Duchenne has been mapped and also yield information about relative genetic distances among different DNA polymorphisms of the X chromosome.  相似文献

The gene involved in juvenile retinoschisis (RS) has previously been localized, by genetic linkage analyses, to Xp22.1-p22.2, between DXS274 and DXS43/ DXS207; it is closely linked to the latter markers. From our recent data, this interval represents a genetic distance of approximately 10 cM. In the present study, we have studied 14 French families with X-linked juvenile RS by using four CA polymorphisms that are closely linked to the RS locus and that have recently been included in an Xp22.1-p22.2 high-resolution map. Complete cosegregation with the disease locus was observed for three of them, DXS207, DXS418, and DXS999, which further confirms the locus homogeneity for RS and the close linkage to this region. One recombinant was found with the most proximal marker, AFM291wf5, thereby defining this marker as the new proximal boundary of the candidate region for RS. Under the assumption that DXS207 and DXS43 constitute the distal boundary, the present study further reduces the region containing the disease gene to a interval of 3–4 cM. The results reported here should facilitate the eventual cloning of the RS gene.  相似文献

The DXS52polymorphic locus mapping to the 5"-region of the blood-clotting factor VIII gene on the X chromosome was genotyped in seven Volga–Ural ethnic groups (Bashkirs, Tatars, Chuvashes, Maris, Mordovians, Udmurts, and Komis). A total of 47 different genotypes and 15 allelic variants of this locus were described. Substantial intra- and interpopulation heterogeneity of the ethnic groups studied in respect to frequency and distribution of the DXS52alleles and genotypes was demonstrated. The unimodal DXS52allele frequency distribution pattern with the peak at 1690 bp was typical to Mordovians and Komis. Chuvashes and Maris, as well as Udmurts, were characterized by bimodal frequency distribution patterns, with the peaks at 1690 and 670 bp, and 1690 and 1390 bp, respectively. Moreover, Bashkirs and Tatars displayed trimodal DXS52allele frequency distribution patterns with the peaks at 1690, 1390, and 670 bp. The DXS52allele frequency distribution patterns described in populations of the Volga– Ural region were found to be remarkably different from those established for the mixed Moscow population and the population of Western Europe. These data indicate that the DXS52locus is highly informative, and this polymorphic system can serve as a molecular marker for population genetic studies.  相似文献

Summary Three families with androgen resistance syndromes — two with testicular feminization and one with Reifenstein syndrome — have been studied for linkage analysis. Using three cloned DNA sequences from the centromere region and the proximal long arm of the X chromosome (p8, pDP34, and S9, which define respectively the chromosomal segments DXS1, DXYS1, and DXS17), we found no recombination between the DXS1 locus and the mutant genes in the three families. Assuming that these disorders are the result of allelic mutations at the same locus for the androgen receptor, we can conclude that there is a close linkage between DXS1 and the androgen receptor locus, with a maximum lod score =3.5 at a recombination fraction =0.0 using the LIPED program (Ott 1974).  相似文献
