Hb Rouen (α140 (HC2) Tyr→His) is a moderately high oxygen-affinity variant that was found in coincidence with polycythemia vera in a French patient. This hemoglobin provides an example of an alteration of the C-terminus of the α-chain, a region involved in the mechanisms of allosteric regulation. The increase in oxygen-affinity and decrease in cooperativity of this variant is much smaller than that resulting from the same substitution in the β-chain. This model provides additional evidence for the inequivalence between the α- and β-subunits. 相似文献

Summary A patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) whose cells had L3 (Burkitt-type) morphology was found to have a variant translocation t(2;8)(p13;q24), that has been reported only in Burkitt lymphomas. This observation provides additional evidence for a close association of particular karyotypic abnormalities with both Burkitt-type ALL and Burkitt lymphoma. 相似文献

The variant transthyretin (TTR) allele, TTR (122 Val----Ile), associated with cardiac amyloidosis in blacks, is caused by a G----A transition which destroys a MaeIII site. This variant has previously been detected by PCR around codon 122, followed by MaeIII digestion, but this test is not specific: any of 12 mutations in the MaeIII recognition site, each of which yields a different amino acid change, would also destroy this site. A modification of PCR, termed "PCR-primer-introduced restriction analysis," was used to introduce a new FokI site into the PCR products derived from the variant (122 Ile) but not wild-type (122 Val) allele. This test demonstrated that each of six previously identified MaeIII(-) alleles had lost its MaeIII site because of a G----A transition encoding TTR (122 Val----Ile), confirming that the same TTR variant was present both in 4/177 healthy black individuals and as a homozygous variant in an individual with cardiac amyloidosis. 相似文献

Approximately half of congenital hearing impairment cases are inherited, with non-syndromic hearing impairment (NSHI) being the most frequent clinical entity of genetic hearing impairment cases. A family from Cameroon with NSHI was investigated by performing exome sequencing using DNA samples obtained from three family members, followed by direct Sanger sequencing in additional family members and controls participants. We identified an autosomal dominantly inherited novel missense variant [NM_001174116.2:c.918G>T; p.(Q306H)] in DMXL2 gene (MIM:612186) that co-segregates with mild to profound non-syndromic sensorineural hearing impairment . The p.(Q306H) variant which substitutes a highly conserved glutamine residue is predicted deleterious by various bioinformatics tools and is absent from several genome databases. This variant was also neither found in 121 apparently healthy controls without a family history of hearing impairment , nor 112 sporadic NSHI cases from Cameroon. There is one previous report of a large Han Chinese NSHI family that segregates a missense variant in DMXL2. The present study provides additional evidence that DMXL2 is involved in hearing impairment etiology, and we suggest DMXL2 should be considered in diagnostic hearing impairment panels. 相似文献

Hb Presbyterian is a variant hemoglobin that carries Lys at Asn-108 of beta-globin. This variant Lys(beta108) residue enhances the stability of Hb in the deoxy-state, conferring the low affinity for oxygen-binding in vitro. In the present study, we generated mutant mice carrying the Presbyterian mutation (Asn(beta108)-->Lys) at the beta-globin locus by a targeted knock-in strategy. Heterozygous mice showed the expression of Hb Presbyterian in 27.7% of total peripheral blood without any hematological abnormalities, which well mimicked human cases. On the other hand, homozygous mice exclusively expressed Hb Presbyterian in 100% of peripheral blood associated with hemolytic anemia, Heinz body formation, and splenomegaly. Hb Presbyterian showed instability in an in vitro precipitation assay. Erythrocytes from homozygous mice showed a shortened life span when transfused into wild-type mice, confirming that the knocked-in mutation of Lys(beta108) caused hemolysis in homozygous mice. This is the first report on the hemolytic anemia of unstable hemoglobin in an animal model. These results confirm the notion that the higher ratio of an unstable variant beta-globin chain in erythrocytes triggers the pathological precipitation and induces hemolysis in abnormal hemoglobinopathies. 相似文献

A new delta-chain variant, delta143 (H21) His-->Tyr or Hb Noah Mehmet Oeztuerk, was discovered during the investigation of the cause of hemolytic anaemia in a 6-month-old infant of Turkish descent. It was detected by Cation exchange high-performance liquid chromatography (CE-HPLC) using PolyCAT A column. P(50) was 20.6+/-0.60 mmHg and 29.3+/-0.40 mmHg for the carrier and the wild-type, respectively. This suggests an increase in oxygen affinity. On routine CE-HPLC Hb A(2) was low (1.2%) and the variant was not detected. An extended family study revealed that the variant was not associated with the anaemia or with any other clinical abnormality. 相似文献

The vitamin D binding protein (Gc) and posttransferrin-2 (Ptf-2) phenotypes have been determined in a number of Belgian cattle breeds. A very slow migrating variant of the Gc protein — Gc C — has been found in White and Red East Flemish breed. This variant was absent from the other breeds studied. This slow variant was identified as a vitamin D binding protein by autoradiography. The Gc C protein was shown to be controlled by a codominant autosomal allele Gc C at the Gclocus. The Gc C protein is probably identical with a fraction previously described in buffalo and an Italian cattle breed. The allele frequencies for the Gc and Pft-2 systems are reported for several Belgian breeds of cattle. 相似文献

A variant of T. utilis tRNATyr containing a base substitution (psi----A) in the middle position of the anticodon has been constructed by enzymatic procedures in vitro. This variant is unique in that it can accept both tyrosine and phenylalanine. This tRNA was shown to be active in transferring both tyrosine and phenylalanine into polypeptides in a cell-free, poly (U)-directed translation system from yeast. This result gives further support to the adapter hypothesis since tyrosine, attached to the variant tRNATyr with an anticodon G-A-A, is incorporated into polypeptides in response to poly (U) message. 相似文献

Galactosemia is an inborn error of galactose metabolism secondary to deficiency of galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase (GALT). GALT is a polymorphic enzyme and Duarte (D) is the most common enzyme variant. This variant is characterized by faster electrophoretic mobility and reduced activity. Duarte/galactosemia compound heterozygotes (D/G) are commonly identified in galactosemia newborn screening programs. However, these patients do not generally require treatment. By using a candidate mutation approach to define the molecular basis of the Duarte variant of GALT, a close association between the previously reported N314D polymorphism and the Duarte variant of GALT was found. We suggest that N314D encodes the D variant of GALT and that molecular testing for N314D might be useful to confirm a biochemical diagnosis of Duarte variant of GALT. 相似文献

Usher syndrome encompasses a group of genetically and clinically heterogeneous autosomal recessive disorders with hearing deficiencies and retinitis pigmentosa. The mechanisms underlying the Usher syndrome are highly variable. In the present study, a Chinese family with Usher syndrome was recruited. Whole exome sequencing (WES), Sanger sequencing, homozygosity mapping, short tandem repeat (STR) analysis and segregation analysis were performed. Functional domains of the pathogenic variant for USH2A were analysed. We identified a homozygous frameshift variant c.99_100insT (p.Arg34Serfs*41) in the USH2A gene in the proband that showed discordant segregation in the father. Further homozygosity mapping and STR analysis identified an unusual homozygous variant of proband that originated from maternal uniparental disomy (UPD). The p.Arg34Serfs*41 variant produced a predicted truncated protein that removes all functional domains of USH2A. The variant was not included in the 1000 Human Genomes Project database, ExAC database, HGMD or gnomAD database, but was included in the ClinVar databases as pathogenic. Although USH2A is an autosomal recessive disease, the effects of UPD should be informed in genetic counselling since the recurrence risk of an affected child is greatly reduced when the disease is due to the UPD mechanism. To test potential patients, WES, combined with STR analysis and homozygosity mapping, provides an accurate and useful strategy for genetic diagnosis. In summary, our discoveries can help further the understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of Usher syndrome type IIA to advance the prevention, diagnosis and therapy for this disorder. 相似文献

Poly (delta-L-Orn) is an example of an iso-polypeptide (i.e. variant of the usual poly a-peptide chain), where the a-carboxyl and delta-amino groups of ornithine are used in polymerization while the a-amino groups form the side chain. A procedure for the synthesis of this iso-polypeptide is described. Circular dichroism studies of poly (delta-L-Orn) and its Na-Boc derivative suggest that these polymers might adopt a conformation in solution similar to the beta-pleated sheet. 相似文献

A genetically determined, polymorphic electrophoretic variant of thyroxin-binding alpha-globulin (TBG) is found in sera from populations of African and Oceania origin, although not in Caucasians nor Orientals. The TBG polymorphism is inherited in X-linked fashion, based on data from American blacks, and thus provides an X-chromosome marker with a relatively high gene frequency in this ethnic group (frequency of the slow allele, TBGs, is 11%). This slow variant should prove valuable in expanding the map of the X chromosome and in linkage studies. An additional family exhibiting X-linked TBG deficiency is also described. 相似文献

Two forms of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (CLN) are enriched in the Finnish population: the infantile form (CLN1), which is the most common progressive encephalopathy of small children, and the variant late infantile form (variant CLN2), which is a rare, atypical form of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis. We recently established the linkage of the infantile form (CLN1) to the short arm of chromosome 1 close to the anchor marker D1S7. Here we demonstrate a linkage disequilibrium of CLN1 chromosomes using the two closest markers, DIS62 and L-MYC at the short arm of chromosome 1 (P less than 0.0025). The results of linkage analyses in Finnish variant CLN2 families using the markers linked to CLN1 revealed an exclusion; i.e., this form of CLN is caused by a locus different from that of CLN1. This finding was confirmed with the result of the M-test for heterogeneity. The genealogical data collected further support the molecular genetic findings and provide evidence that the mutation causing CLN1 in Finland is very old, whereas the mutation causing the variant CLN2 could be a result of a younger, i.e., more recent founder effect. 相似文献

Recently, Ishimoto, Kuwata and Shotake reported a polymerizing hemoglobin found in Japanese monkey (Macaca fuscata) (J. Anthropol. Soc. Nippon 83, 233-243 (1975)). They separated the variant hemoglobin by gel filtration and from finger print results and from the fact that beta-mercaptoethanol dissociates the polymer deduced the substitution of an amino acid(s) by cysteine in the betaT10 peptide. We have purified the variant hemoglobin by ion-exchange chromatography using carboxymethyl cellulose after the protection of the reactive thiol groups with cystamine, and purified the betaT10 peptide and demonstrated that the usual glycine at beta 83 (EF 7) is substituted in the variant hemoglobin by cysteine. 相似文献

Heparin regulates the inhibitory activity of antithrombin. It has been proposed that residues P15 and P14 are expelled from beta-sheet A of antithrombin by heparin binding, permitting better interaction of the reactive center loop with factor Xa. We have made a P14 antithrombin variant (S380E) to create an activated inhibitory form of antithrombin in which P14 is already expelled from beta-sheet A. S380E antithrombin fluorescence is enhanced 35 +/- 5% compared with control antithrombin. There is minimal further increase in antithrombin fluorescence upon heparin binding. The variant has a 5 degrees C lower T(m) than control antithrombin. The variant is an inhibitor of proteinases and has a nearly 200-fold increased basal rate of inhibition of factor Xa, after correction for an increased stoichiometry of inhibition. This is comparable to that of antithrombin activated by high affinity heparin pentasaccharide. Full-length high affinity heparin causes only a 7-fold additional increase in rate and a large increase in stoichiometry of inhibition. In contrast, the basal rate of inhibition of thrombin is similar to that of control antithrombin but is increased 300-fold by heparin. These findings suggest that the native state of the S380E variant exists in a loop-expelled conformation that is consequently highly reactive toward factor Xa. 相似文献

Thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG) is a liver glycoprotein that transports thyroid hormone in serum. In 1987 a variant TBG was discovered in an infant born in Quebec, following an investigation prompted by the finding of low blood thyroxine (T4) level on screening for neonatal hypothyroidism. This variant, TBG-Quebec, has cathodal shift on isoelectric focusing, reduced affinity for thyroxine, and markedly reduced stability. The latter property of the variant molecule is probably responsible for the partial TBG deficiency. We now report the results of sequencing of the entire coding region and exon-intron junctions of TBG-Quebec, which revealed two nucleotide substitutions; one, located in exon 3, changes the normal codon 283 of TTG (leucine) to that of TTT (phenylalanine), and the other, in exon 4, results in the replacement of the normal histidine-331 (CAT) by tyrosine (TAT). Allele-specific amplification (ASA) confirmed the cosegregation of the two nucleotide substitutions with the TBG-Quebec phenotype in individual members of this family. The substitution in codon 283, but not that in codon 331, has been previously described and, when occurring alone, does not alter the properties of the gene product. Thus, it appears that the replacement of histidine-331 by tyrosine is responsible for the observed altered properties of TBG-Quebec. However, the question of whether substitution of both amino acids is necessary for expression of the variant phenotype has yet to be answered. 相似文献

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a clonal malignant disorder of a pluripotent hematopoietic stem cell characterized by the presence of a Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome. Less than 10% of patients present variant Ph chromosomes involving 1 or more additional chromosomes, other than chromosomes 9 and 22, with uncertain prognosis. There are mainly 1- or 2-step mechanisms proposed to explain the genesis of variant Ph chromosomes depending on whether the involved chromosomes are simultaneously broken and rejoined or if a standard t(9;22) occurs first. By combined standard cytogenetic and FISH analysis we detected a novel variant Ph translocation among chromosomes 9, 11 and 22 in a patient with CML without progression to an accelerated phase of the disease after 7 years, with the derivative chromosome 9 also having an acquired pericentric inversion. This novel case illustrates the use of FISH in metaphase to confirm a new rearrangement not previously described in variant Ph formation and that the present karyotype could have originated by a 1-step mechanism with 4 simultaneous breakages without deletion of ABL1. 相似文献
