Genetic defects of coproporphyrinogen oxidase (CPO) lead to hereditary coproporphyria, an inherited autosomal dominant porphyria. The recent cloning of human cDNAs and of the gene encoding CPO permits deducing the primary structure of the CPO protein and elucidating the molecular basis of HC in some families. 相似文献

Using []Coproporphyrinogen obtained from human red blood cells incubated with [] δ aminolevulinic acid, we measured lymphocytes Coproporphyrinogen III Oxidase activity in 17 subjects with hereditary coproporphyria. The mean activity was about 50 % of that in lymphocytes from normal subjects. This finding suggests that decreased coproporphyrinogen III oxidase activity reflects the primary genetic defect in Hereditary Coproporphyria. The technique described allows easy detection of asymptomatic carriers. 相似文献

We studied two unrelated male probands with mild ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) (E.C.2.1.3.3) deficiency presenting a similar clinical course. Previous analyses of their liver OTCs also revealed similar properties. To identify the underlying molecular defects, we first cloned the entire coding region of the OTC gene from one proband and found a single base-substitution (C to T) leading to the substitution of tryptophan for arginine at amino acid position 277. Using a genomic amplification technique followed by allele specific oligonucleotide hybridization, we identified the same point mutation in the OTC gene of the other proband. We observed the presence of the mutation among family members in at least three generations, and in one asymptomatic hemizygous sibling in each family. 相似文献

A 27-year-old woman who had recurrent pain in renal bed since 1998 with increasing character, was stationary admitted. The patient showed dark urine, complained of hair loss and took since 1994 a hormonal oral contraceptive. No photosensitivity was observed. Determinations of urinary porphyrin metabolites in 1998 revealed a porphyria cutanea tarda like excretion pattern with elevations of uro- (1767 nmol/24 hr, normal <29 nmol/24 hr) and heptacarboxyporphyrin (568 nmol/24 hr; normal <4 nmol/24 hr). Follow-up studies in feces showed the characteristics of a hereditary coproporphyria with dominance of coproporphyrin isomer III (total= 1470 nmol/g, isomer III= 93%), (normal: <37 nmol/g, isomer III = 25-35%). The excretion of porphyrin precursors (delta-aminolevulinic acid and porphobilinogen) was increased by taking an ethinylestradiol-cyproteronacetate-preparation, but acute and/or chronic manifestations were not observed. Coproporphyrinogen oxidase activity was decreased to 35% in the patient (normal=138+/-21 pkat/g protein; x+/-s), whereas the activity of red cell uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase was normal. Her mother and both sisters could be verified as heterozygous gene carriers of hereditary coproporphyria by their urinary and fecal excretion parameters and because of reduced coproporphyrinogen oxidase activity up to 50%. The father was normal with respect to his genotype. Molecular analysis revealed a hitherto unknown mutation with the transversion of a cytosine to thymine at nucleotide position 854 in exon 4 of the coproporphyrinogen oxidase gene. The gene defect was confirmed by DGGE in the mother and her three daughters. The investigation of the immunological nature of the defective coproporphyrinogen oxidase gene from the whole family revealed decreased concentrations of coproporphyrinogen oxidase protein in the patient, her mother and her two sisters. 相似文献

Phenylalanine hydroxylase gene: novel missense mutation in exon 7 causing severe phenylketonuria. 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
By direct sequence analysis of 94 mutant phenylalanine hydroxylase alleles using polymerase chain reaction-based techniques, we identified a C to T transition in exon 7 of the human phenylalanine hydroxylase gene that is associated with RFLP haplotypes 1 and 4. A leucine for proline substitution at position 281 can be predicted from the nucleotide sequence of the mutant codon. Expression analysis in cultured mammalian cells after site-directed mutagenesis proved that the base substitution is a disease causing gene lesion. Dot-blot hybridization analysis using allele-specific oligonucleotides revealed that 25% of all mutant haplotype 1 alleles in the German population bear this mutation. In addition, this mutation could be detected on one mutant haplotype 4 allele. The fact that this mutation is associated with only 25% of all mutant haplotype 1 alleles suggests that multiple mutations may be associated with this haplotype. The occurrence of several different mutations would be in agreement with the clinical heterogeneity observed in the group of patients whose PKU alleles belong to haplotype 1. 相似文献

Mutations in the melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) are associated with severe obesity, independent of their effect on cortisol or thyroid-stimulating hormone levels. We examined a morbidly obese male (BMI = 62 kg/m2) with a binge-eating disorder and eight family members for mutations in the MC4R gene and potential differences in leptin levels. Fifty healthy individuals served as controls. Sequence analysis revealed a novel heterozygous missense mutation (c.302 C>A, p.T101N) located in the second transmembrane domain of the receptor, which was not detected in controls. The Fisher exact test revealed an association between the T101N mutation and history of obesity (P < 0.05) in the family. The Kruskal-Wallis test showed an association between the mutation and the leptin/BMI ratio (P < 0.05), while there was no association between the T101N mutation and diabetes or arterial hypertension in the family. Although the available family was small, we could show a significant association between the heterozygous T101N mutation and obesity. 相似文献

We have screened the 27 exons of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator gene in 87 non-F508 chromosomes of Breton origin using the combined techniques of denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis and direct sequencing. By this process, we have detected a new missense mutation, G91R, which results in an arginine for glycine at codon 91. Three affected patients with a F508/G91R genotype are pancreatic sufficient. Such observations could facilitate a better understanding of the functional importance of different regions of the encoded product and of the pathogenesis of the disease. 相似文献

Hereditary multiple exostoses (HME) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by benign bone tumors. In this report, we describe two unrelated Chinese families with HME. Linkage analysis and mutation detection was performed. Clinical analysis was also performed for some affected individual in both families. Linkage with the EXT2 was established in both families. A novel mutation, c505 G > T, was identified in both families. Further allelic heterogeneity of EXT2 was demonstrated by the intrafamilial and interfamilial variability in clinical phenotype. 相似文献

We analyzed the SLC4A1 gene in three Mexican patients with Hereditary Spherocytosis (HS). The promoter and all 20 exons were investigated through heteroduplex analysis and DNA sequencing. No DNA changes were detected in one of the three patients. Two well-known polymorphisms, Memphis I and the Diego-a blood group, were detected in another one. In the third, the HS phenotype could be explained by the novel 1885_1888dupCCGG mutation found in heterozygosis. This frameshift mutation is predicted to result in a truncated and unstable protein lacking normal functions. 相似文献

We have previously reported two common lipoprotein lipase (LPL) gene mutations underlying LPL deficiency in the majority of 37 French Canadians (Monsalve et al., 1990. J. Clin. Invest. 86: 728-734; Ma et al., 1991. N. Engl. J. Med. 324: 1761-1766). By examining the 10 coding exons of the LPL gene in another French Canadian patient, we have identified a third missense mutation that is found in two of the three remaining patients for whom mutations are undefined. This is a G to A transition in exon 6 that results in a substitution of asparagine for aspartic acid at residue 250. Using in vitro site-directed mutagenesis, we have confirmed that this mutation causes a catalytically defective LPL protein. In addition, the Asp250----Asn mutation was also found on the same haplotype in an LPL-deficient patient of Dutch ancestry, suggesting a common origin. This mutation alters a TaqI restriction site in exon 6 and will allow for rapid screening in patients with LPL deficiency. 相似文献

The insulin receptor (IR) in two brothers with a rare syndrome of congenital muscle fiber type disproportion myopathy (CFTDM) associated with diabetes and severe insulin resistance was studied. By direct sequencing of Epstein-Barr virus-transformed lymphocytes both patients were found to be compound heterozygotes for mutations in the IR gene. The maternal allele was alternatively spliced in exon 17 due to a point mutation in the -1 donor splice site of the exon. The abnormal skipping of exon 17 shifts the amino acid reading frame and leads to a truncated IR, missing the entire tyrosine kinase domain. In the correct spliced variant, the point mutation is silent and results in a normally translated IR. The paternal allele carries a missense mutation in the tyrosine kinase domain. All three cDNA variants were present in the lymphocytes of the patients. Purified IR from 293 cells overexpressing either of the two mutated receptors lacked basal or stimulated IR beta-subunit autophosphorylation. A third brother who inherited both normal alleles has an normal muscle phenotype and insulin sensitivity, suggesting a direct linkage of these IR mutations with the CFTDM phenotype. 相似文献

Four loci seem responsible for the dilution of the basic coat colours in horse: Dun (D), Silver Dapple (Z), Champagne (CH) and Cream (C). Apart from the current phenotypes ascribed to these loci, pearl has been described as yet another diluted coat colour in this species. To date, this coat colour seems to segregate only in the Iberian breeds Purebred Spanish horse and Lusitano and has also been described in breeds of Iberian origin, such as Quarter Horses and Paint Horse, where it is referred to as the ‘Barlink Factor’. This phenotype segregates in an autosomal recessive manner and resembles some of the coat colours produced by the champagne CHCH and cream CCr alleles, sometimes being difficult to distinguish among them. The interaction between compound heterozygous for the pearl Cprl and cream CCr alleles makes SLC45A2 the most plausible candidate gene for the pearl phenotype in horses. Our results provide documented evidence for the missense variation in exon 4 [SLC45A2:c.985G>A; SLC45A2:p.(Ala329Thr)] as the causative mutation for the pearl coat colour. In addition, it is most likely involved as well in the cremello, perlino and smoky cream like phenotypes associated with the compound CCr and Cprl heterozygous genotypes (known as cream pearl in the Purebred Spanish horse breed). The characterization of the pearl mutation allows breeders to identify carriers of the Cprl allele and to select this specific coat colour according to personal preferences, market demands or studbook requirements as well as to verify segregation within particular pedigrees. 相似文献

The human gene encoding coproporphyrinogen oxidase is the defective gene in hereditary coproporphyria. This gene was mapped to chromosome band 3q12 using fluorescent in situ hybridization. The chromosomal localization was confirmed by cosegregation of the human gene with chromosome 3 in a panel of human/rodent somatic hybrids. 相似文献

Lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) deficiency with a missense mutation in exon 6 of the LCAT gene 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

The plasma enzyme, human lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) is responsible for the majority of cholesterol ester formation in human plasma and is a key enzyme of the reverse transport of cholesterol from peripheral tissue to the liver. We sequenced genomic DNA of the LCAT gene from a Japanese male patient who was clinically and biochemically diagnosed as a familial LCAT deficiency. Analysis of all exons and exon-intron boundaries revealed only a single G to A transition within the sixth exon of both allele of the gene, leading to the substitution of methionine for isoleucinle at residue 293 of the mature enzyme. This mutation creates a new hexanucleotide recognition site for the restriction endonuclease Ndel. Familial study of Ndel digestion of the genomic DNA and determination of plasma LCAT activity established that the patient and his sister whose plasma LCAT activity were extremely reduced were homozygous and his children whose plasma LCAT activity were about half of normal controls were heterozygous for this mutation. 相似文献

The aim of the present paper is to describe a novel missense mutation (G107R) of WFS1 gene that was unexpectedly detected, in two siblings from Southern Italy, outside exon 8; a very unusual finding which has previously been reported only twice in Italian patients with Wolfram syndrome (WS). Although in Spanish pedigrees' WFS1 mutations are frequently located in exon 4, this finding is very infrequent in other pedigrees, particularly in Italian patients. Conclusions: a) our report of two siblings with one novel WSF1 mutation (G107R) expands the molecular spectrum of WS; b) this is the 3rd report of Italian patients harbouring one mutation outside exon 8 and the 2nd with one mutation in exon 4; c) on the basis of the present observations, and literature data we can infer that mutation locations outside exon 8 do not seem to be clearly associated with peculiar phenotype expressions of WFS1 gene. 相似文献

Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is the most common glomerular histological lesion associated with high‐grade proteinuria and end‐stage renal disease. Histologically, FSGS is characterized by focal segmental sclerosis with foot process effacement. The aim of this study was to identify the disease‐causing mutation in a four‐generation Chinese family with FSGS. A novel missense mutation, c.1856G>A (p.Gly619Asp), in the collagen type IV alpha‐4 gene (COL4A4) was identified in six patients and it co‐segregated with the disease in this family. The variant is predicted to be disease‐causing and results in collagen IV abnormalities. Our finding broadens mutation spectrum of the COL4A4 gene and extends the phenotypic spectrum of collagen IV nephropathies. Our study suggests that exome sequencing is a cost‐effective and efficient approach for identification of disease‐causing mutations in phenotypically complex or equivocal disorders. Timely screening for COL4A3/COL4A4 mutations in patients with familial FSGS may help both accurately diagnose and treat these patients. 相似文献

Human Pex16p, a peroxisomal membrane protein composed of 336 amino acids, plays a central role in peroxisomal membrane biogenesis. A nonsense mutation (R176ter) in the PEX16 gene has been reported in the case of only one patient (D-01) belonging to complementation group D of the peroxisome biogenesis disorders. We have now identified two patients belonging to group D (D-02 and D-03) whose fibroblasts were found to contain no peroxisomal membrane structure ghosts. Molecular analysis of the PEX16 gene revealed aberrant cDNA species lacking 65 bp, corresponding to exon 10 skipping caused by a splice site mutation (IVS10 + 2T -->C). Both patients, although unrelated, were homozygous for this mutation. This mutation changes the amino acid sequence starting from codon 298 and introduces a termination codon at codon 336. As a consequence, the cell's ability to membrane synthesis and protein import is disrupted, which implies that the changed C terminus of the Pex16p in these patients likely affects its function. 相似文献

In plants the enzyme coproporphyrinogen oxidase catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of coproporphyrinogen III to protoporphyrinogen IX in the heme and chlorophyll biosynthesis pathway(s).We have isolated a soybean coproporphyrinogen oxidase cDNA from a cDNA library and determined the primary structure of the corresponding gene. The coproporphyrinogen oxidase gene encodes a polypeptide with a predicted molecular mass of 43 kDa. The derived amino acid sequence shows 50% similarity to the corresponding yeast amino acid sequence. The main difference is an extension of 67 amino acids at the N-terminus of the soybean polypeptide which may function as a transit peptide.A full-length coproporphyrinogen oxidase cDNA clone complements a yeast mutant deleted of the coproporphyrinogen oxidase gene, thus demonstrating the function of the soybean protein.The soybean coproporphyrinogen oxidase gene is highly expressed in nodules at the stage where several late nodulins including leghemoglobin appear. The coproporphyrinogen oxidase mRNA is also detectable in leaves but at a lower level than in nodules while no mRNA is detectable in roots.The high level of coproporphyrinogen oxidase mRNA in soybean nodules implies that the plant increases heme production in the nodules to meet the demand for additional heme required for hemoprotein formation. 相似文献

A novel exon mutation in the human beta-hexosaminidase beta subunit gene affects 3' splice site selection. 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

The molecular basis of a dramatically decreased steady state level of beta-hexosaminidase beta subunit mRNA in a patient with juvenile Sandhoff disease was investigated. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the HEXB gene coding for the beta subunit revealed two single base substitutions, one in exon 2 (A to G, a known polymorphism) and the other in exon 11 (C to T). Analysis of the beta subunit mRNA species demonstrated activation of a cryptic splice site in exon 11 as well as skipping of the exon. A transfection assay using a chimeric gene containing intron 10 flanked by cDNA sequences carrying the mutation confirmed that the single base substitution located at position 8 of exon 11 inhibits the selection of the normal 3' splice site. The results demonstrate a new type of exon mutation affecting 3' splice site selection. 相似文献

The polymerase chain reaction and nucleotide sequence analysis have been used to characterize a point mutation in the seventh
exon of one allele of the C1-inhibitor gene in a family with type I hereditary angioedema. A single base change (C→T) at nucleotide
1482 in C1-inhibitor converted the codon for Gln-339 to a premature translation termination codon, TAG. Family studies suggest
that this mutation is reponsible for type I hereditary angioedema in a studied pedigree.
