The aim of this study was to reveal the CFTR gene mutation status in the Croatian population as well as to establish the haplotypes associated with cystic fibrosis (CF) and those associated with specific gene mutations. A total of 48 unrelated CF patients from Croatia were examined. Among 96 tested alleles, we found nine different mutations: DeltaF508, 58.33%; G542X, 3.12%; N1303K, 2.08%; R1162X; 621 + 1G --> T; G85E; Y569C; E585X; and S466X, 1.04%. Analysis of three polymorphic loci revealed 15 different haplotypes. Two of them (21-23-13 and 21-17-13) occurred with a higher frequency (40% and 24%). Both of these haplotypes also carried a CFTR gene mutation (DeltaF508 or G542X) on 27 out of 32 chromosomes. Among 12 (of all together 29) CF alleles on which no mutations were found, we detected 10 different haplotypes. Because there are still no published data on the distribution of polymorphic loci in Croatia, nor haplotypes associated with mutations in the CFTR gene, our results greatly contribute to knowledge regarding the genetic background of CF in this region. 相似文献

In order to determine the spectrum of cystic fibrosis (CF) mutations in the Turkish population, a complete coding region
of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene including exon-intron boundaries, on 122 unrelated
CF chromosomes from 73 Turkish CF families was analysed by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis and multiplex heteroduplex
analysis on MDE gel matrix. In addition to 15 previously reported mutations and 12 polymorphisms, three novel mutations, namely
3172delAC, P1013L and M1028I, were detected. ΔF508 was found to be present on 18.8% of CF chromosomes. The second most common
mutation was 1677delTA, with a frequency of 7.3%, followed by G542X and 2183AA→G mutations, with frequencies of 4.9%. These
four most common mutations in Turkish CF population account for approximately 36% of mutations. This study could only detect
52.5% of disease-causing mutations in this population; 47.5% of CF alleles remain to be identified, reflecting the high molecular
heterogeneity of the Turkish population.

The presence or absence of the major cystic fibrosis (CF) mutation, delta F508, in the general patient population was determined by Kerem et al. using allele-specific oligonucleotides for the mutant and normal sequences in the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). delta F508 was identified by Riordan et al., and it is a 3-bp deletion of the phenylalanine codon at position 508. The Hutterite Brethren are an inbred North American population who have three different DNA marker haplotypes of CF chromosomes. Genomic DNA from both a CF child and one parent from each of 10 Hutterite families was analyzed for the presence or absence of the deletion mutation. delta F508 is associated with one of the three CF haplotypes in the Hutterite population, and this is the most common haplotype in a subset of the linkage family data of Kerem et al. The other two Hutterite CF haplotypes are generally rate in Caucasian populations. Since these two CF haplotypes do not carry the deletion mutation, they must carry a different CF mutation(s). The results of the PCR analysis for the deletion mutation lend additional support to our previous conclusion that there were at least three original carriers of CF mutations among the founders of the Hutterite population and that all copies of the same CF haplotype were identical by descent. One Hutterite CF patient has both of the haplotypes which do not carry delta F508. Analysis of this individual's DNA should allow identification of two additional CF mutations in this population. 相似文献

We present data on the population genetics of cystic fibrosis (CF) in Bulgaria, obtained by comprehensive mutation analysis
and the construction of intragenic microsatellite haplotypes. The sample of 262 CF alleles analysed is representative of the
patients diagnosed during the period of referral and of the three main ethnic groups in the country. ΔF508 accounted for 100%
of Gypsy CF alleles, which thus differed significantly from both Bulgarians and ethnic Turks. In Bulgarian and Turkish CF
patients, 92% of the mutant alleles were identified, yielding a total of 25 different mutations, of which only 7 occurred
at frequencies higher than 1%. The findings were compared to other European populations and to the distribution of phenylketonuria
mutations. Genetic distances and population trees demonstrated that in the south-eastern tip of Europe, the overall distribution
of CF mutations and polymorphic haplotypes is very close to that of Mediterranean populations, with a high frequency of N1303K
and G542X, a large number of rare mutations and a prevalence of the 23 31 13 haplotype in association with ΔF508. These findings
are consistent with a main role for the Neolithic expansion in the shaping of the CF mutation spectrum in Bulgaria and southern
Europe.

The Hutterite population is a genetic isolate with an increased incidence of cystic fibrosis (CF). Previously we identified three CF haplotypes defined by polymorphisms flanking the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. delta F508 was present on one of the haplotypes in only 35% of CF chromosomes. We hypothesized that the other two CF haplotypes, one of which was the most common and the other of which is rare, each harbored different non-delta F508 mutations. Single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis detected a missense mutation, M1101K, in both chromosomes of a Hutterite patient carrying the two non-delta F508 haplotypes. M1101K appears to have originated on an uncommon CFTR allele and to be infrequent outside the Hutterite population. The presence of M1101K on two haplotypes is likely the result of a CFTR intragenic recombination which occurred since the founding, 10-12 generations ago, of the Hutterite population. The crossover was located between exons 14a and 17b, an interval of approximately 15 kbp. delta F508 and M1101K accounted for all of the CF mutations in patients from 16 CF families representing the three subdivisions of the Hutterite population. 相似文献

Microsatellite haplotypes were determined for 117 chromosomes carrying the four most frequent mutations in the cystic fibrosis
(CF) gene identified in the Breton population of Celtic origin, as well as for 83 normal chromosomes (noncarriers of a CF
mutation). Each of the three non-ΔF508 mutations was associated with a single haplotype: 1078delT with 16-31-13, G551D with
16-7-17, and W846X with 16-32-13. Although these results suggest identity-by-descent for each mutation, recurrent mutations,
although unlikely, could not be completely ruled out. The four most frequent haplotypes on normal chromosomes and the three
most frequent haplotypes on ΔF508 chromosomes are the same as those found in Ireland, Spain, and Italy. This suggests that
some haplotypes, associated or not with the ΔF508 mutation, were present in an ancestral population from which all four populations
descended.

Summary The F508 deletion in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene was found in 8 out of 30 Turkish
cystic fibrosis (CF) chromosomes (27%). Five Turkish ΔF508 CF chromosomes were associated with the risk haplotype B in KM19
(2 allele)/XV2c (1 allele). In the Turkish population, cystic fibrosis is predominantly caused by mutations other than the
F508 deletion. 相似文献

Summary In order to facilitate the screening for the less common mutations in the cystic fibrosis (CF) gene viz., the CF transmembrane conductance regulator gene (CFTR), marker haplotypes were determined for German nonCF (N) and CF chromosomes by polymerase chain reaction analysis of four polymorphisms upstream of the CF gene (XV-2c, KM.19, MP6-D9, J44) and six intragenic polymorphisms (GATT, TUB9, M470V, T854T, TUB18, TUB20) that span the CFTR gene from exon 6 through exon 21. Novel informative sequence variants of CFTR were detected in front of exons 10 (1525-61 A or G), 19 (3601-65 C or A), and 21 (4006-200 A or G). The CF locus exhibits strong long-range marker-marker linkage disequilibrium with breakpoints of recombination between XV-2c and KM.19, and between exons 10 and 19 of CFTR. Marker alleles of GATT-TUB9 and TUB18-TUB20 were found to be in absolute linkage disequilibrium. Four major haplotypes encompass more than 90% of German N and CF chromosomes. Fifteen CFTR mutations detected on 421 out of 500 CF chromosomes were each identified on one of these four predominant 7-marker haplotypes. Whereas all analysed F508 chromosomes carried the same KM.19-D9-J44-GATT-TUB9-M470V-T854T haplotype, another frequent mutation in Germany, R553X, was identified on two different major haplotypes. Hence, a priori haplotyping cannot exclude a particular CF mutation, but in combination with population genetic data, enables mutations to be ranked by decreasing probability. 相似文献

AIMS: To obtain more insight into the variability of the CFTR mutations found in immigrant cystic fibrosis (CF) patients who are living in Europe now, and to estimate the test sensitivity of different frequently used methods of DNA analysis to detect CF carriers or patients among these Turkish or North African immigrants. METHODS: A survey among 373 European CF centers asking which CFTR mutations had been found in Turkish and North African CF patients. RESULTS: 31 and 26 different mutations were reported in Turkish and North African patients, identifying 64.2% (113/176) and 87.4% (118/135) alleles, respectively (p < 0.001). The mean sensitivity (detection rate) of three most common CFTR mutation panels to detect these mutations differed between Turkish and North African people, 44.9% (79/176) versus 69.6% (94/135) (p < 0.001), and can be increased to 57.4% (101/176) and 79.3% (107/135) (p < 0.001), respectively, by expanding these panels with 13 mutations which have been found on two or more alleles. CONCLUSION: 35.8% and 12.6%, respectively, of CF alleles in Turkish and North African patients living in Europe now had not been identified. Among these populations, the test sensitivity of common CFTR mutation panels is insufficient for use in screening programs in Europe, even after expansion with frequent Turkish and North African mutations. This raises questions about whether and how to implement CF carrier and neonatal screening in a multiethnic society. 相似文献

In the 100-year period 1880-1980 the Hutterite population increased from about 442 to 23,000 individuals in North America. There are three endogamous subdivisions in this Caucasian genetic isolate. A total of 11 cystic fibrosis (CF) families from Canada and the United States were investigated, including at least two families from each of the three subdivisions, the Dariusleut, Lehrerleut, and Schmiedeleut. A study of RFLPs for the loci D7S8, D7S23, MET, and D7S18 (also called D7S16) in the region of the CF gene in 10 families shows considerable genetic variability. There were three different extended CF gene-region haplotypes on CF chromosomes (CF haplotypes), and there were 13 different extended CF gene-region haplotypes on normal chromosomes (normal haplotypes). The three CF haplotypes have different D7S23 and MET haplotypes. Parents who have the same CF haplotype are, on the average, more closely related than parents who have different haplotypes, but only within the same subdivision. A marriage node graph of 11 families illustrates the complexity of Hutterite genealogies. The frequency distribution of CF haplotypes in the Hutterite sample differs notably from those of larger agglomerates of family data from collaborative studies, with respect to D7S8, MET haplotypes, and D7S23 haplotypes. We propose that there were at least three CF carriers among the founders of the Hutterite population and that copies of a particular CF haplotype in current individuals are identical by descent. The alternative that one or more genetically distinguishable CF haplotypes resulted from recombination since the founding of the population is considered to be less likely. 相似文献

We have analyzed 640 Spanish cystic fibrosis (CF) families for mutations in the CFTR gene by direct mutation analysis, microsatellite haplotypes, denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis, single-strand conformation
analysis and direct sequencing. Seventy-five mutations account for 90.2% of CF chromosomes. Among these we have detected seven
novel CFTR mutations, including four missense (G85V, T582R, R851L and F1074L), two nonsense (E692X and Q1281X) and one splice site mutation
(711+3A→T). Three variants, two in intronic regions (406-112A/T and 3850-129T/C) and one in the coding region (741C/T) were
also identified. Mutations G85V, T582R, R851L, E692X and Q1281X are severe, with lung and pancreatic involvement; 711+3A→T
could be responsible for a pancreatic sufficiency/insufficiency variable phenotype; and F1074L was associated with a mild
phenotype. These data demonstrate the highest molecular heterogeneity reported so far in CF, indicating that a wide mutation
screening is necessary to characterize 90% of the Spanish CF alleles.

The authors used polymerase chain reaction to analyse 56 Slovenian cystic fibrosis (CF) chromosomes for the presence of delta F508 and eight other most frequent mutations located in exons 7,11 and 20 (R347P, R334W, G551D, R553X, S549RA, S549RT, S549I and S1255X) of the CF gene. We also determined the frequency of haplotypes associated with CF for six linked RFLP markers (MetD/TaqI, MetH/TaqI, XV-2c/TaqI, KM-19/PstI, MP6d9/MspI and J3.11/MspI) in 27 Slovenian CF families. delta F508 mutation was present in 55.4 percent of the CF chromosomes. No case of the other mutations were detected in the sample of tested CF chromosomes. A very high degree of association (0.88) has been found between DNA marker MetH and CF (as measured by the Yule's association coefficient) in our population. Using the RFLP markers XV-2c and KM-19, we found that 85% of delta F508 mutated chromosomes have a single 1 2 (B) haplotype, and that this haplotype is present on only 15.4 percent of CF chromosomes without this deletion. 相似文献

Cystic fibrosis (CF)--an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) and characterized by abnormal chloride conduction across epithelial membranes, leading to chronic lung and exocrine pancreatic disease--is less common in African-Americans than in Caucasians. No large-scale studies of mutation identification and screening in African-American CF patients have been reported, to date. In this study, the entire coding and flanking intronic sequence of the CFTR gene was analyzed by denaturing gradient-gel electrophoresis and sequencing in an index group of 82 African-American CF chromosomes to identify mutations. One novel mutation, 3120+1G-->A, occurred with a frequency of 12.3% and was also detected in a native African patient. To establish frequencies, an additional group of 66 African-American CF chromosomes were screened for mutations identified in two or more African-American patients. Screening for 16 "common Caucasian" mutations identified 52% of CF alleles in African-Americans, while screening for 8 "common African" mutations accounted for an additional 23%. The combined detection rate of 75% was comparable to the sensitivity of mutation analysis in Caucasian CF patients. These results indicate that African-Americans have their own set of "common" CF mutations that originate from the native African population. Inclusion of these "common" mutations substantially improves CF mutation detection rates in African-Americans. 相似文献

In order to contribute to a better understanding of the dispersion of cystic fibrosis (CF) mutations in the South of France,
seven diallelic and three multiallelic markers [three upstream of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator
(CFTR) gene (XV-2c, KM.19 and J44) and seven intragenic polymorphisms (IVS6A, IVS8CA, M470V, T854T, IVS17BTA, IVS17BCA and TUB18)]
were analyzed for 143 ΔF508 chromosomes, 100 CF chromosomes carrying 85 non-ΔF508 and 15 unknown mutations, and 198 normal
CFTR alleles. The study provides haplotypic data for 39 different CF mutations, which should be useful in diagnosis by haplotypic
analysis and detection of the associated mutations. A major haplotype [2-1-2-7-16-2-1-(30/31)-13-1] was found in normal chromosomes,
which should be the most ancient in the Caucasoid population. The most frequent haplotypes in normal chromosomes were associated
with 16 different non-ΔF508 mutations, suggesting that there was no preferential haplotype on which these mutations arose.
Several mutations were each associated with more than one haplotype, as the result of slippage at one or two of the three
microsatellites (ΔF508, G542X, N1303K, G85E, E585X, K710X and 2184delA) or recombination (1717-1G→A, R334W, L206W, R1162X
and Y122X). Haplotypes for the most common CFTR mutations (ΔF508, G542X, N1303K) revealed that a large number of alleles were generated by slippage at the microsatellite
loci, suggesting that they are the most ancient CF mutations. Other mutations were associated with haplotypes that were different
either at several diallelic sites (R334W) or at both diallelic and microsatellite markers (R1162X and R1158X), which is more
suggestive of recurrence. Twenty recombinations were detected among the CF mutant alleles analyzed, 75% of them occurring
in the second half of the CFTR gene. The higher mutational heterogeneity and the haplotypic variability reported in this small population from the Mediterranean
area are consistent with an earlier appearance of CFTR mutations in southern Europe than in central and northern Europe, and an earlier origin and expansion of this population.

Summary French families (n = 129) with at least one cystic fibrosis (CF) affected child and 44 unrelated subjects from the general population were tested
for the presence of the ΔF508 mutation by the polymerase chain reaction. The ΔF508/CF mutation ratio (CF: uncharacterised
CF mutations) was tested in the CF families with and without meconium ileus. The association between ΔF508 and CF mutations
and restriction fragment length polymorphism haplotypes (XV2c and KM19) has been estimated; these data suggest that the CF
chromosomes include a panel of independent and probably different mutations. 相似文献

CA/GT microsatellite alleles within the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene are not generated by unequal crossingover. 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12
The gene responsible for cystic fibrosis (CF) has recently been identified, and a three-nucleotide deletion (delta F508 mutation) that results in the loss of a phenylalanine residue in the first putative ATP-binding domain of the predicted protein (CF transmembrane conductance regulator, CFTR) has been found to be the major CF mutation. Although several other mutations have been identified in the CFTR gene, most of them are very rare, making their application to genetic diagnosis difficult. While characterizing the genomic region encompassing the CF locus, we have identified three CA/GT blocks that flank exon 9 of the CF gene. One of the CA/GT blocks exhibits a highly informative variable number of dinucleotide repeats (VNDR) polymorphism. This intragenic VNDR microsatellite should, by itself, provide full information for genetic analysis in approximately 80% of CF families and will help elucidate the associations between DNA polymorphism haplotypes and specific gene mutations. Haplotype analyses of CF chromosomes with and without the delta F508 mutation suggest that the different alleles are generated by slipped-strand mispairing within the dinucleotide repeat during DNA replication, rather than by unequal crossingover within a recombination hot spot. 相似文献

History and origin of beta-thalassemia in Turkey: sequence haplotype diversity of beta-globin genes.
G O Tadmouri N Garguier J Demont P Perrin A N Ba?ak 《Human biology; an international record of research》2001,73(5):661-674
In the present study we report the sequence haplotypes associated with 22 beta-globin gene mutations present in Turkey. Nine nucleotide polymorphisms and an (AT)xTy motif located at the 5' end of the beta-globin gene form the sequence haplotypes that were investigated in 204 unrelated beta-thalassemia and wild-type chromosomes from Turkey. Twelve sequence haplotypes were observed in the chromosomes analyzed and haplotypic heterogeneity was found in the wild-type beta-globin genes. Samples from the Black Sea region demonstrated a remarkable level of haplotypic heterogeneity in contrast to the homogeneity present in Central Anatolian samples. Of the 22 beta-globin mutations analyzed, 18 were related with single sequence haplotypes. This simple association led to the attempt to determine the origin of these mutations by comparing their frequencies in Turkey with those in other countries and/or the world distribution of the haplotypes carrying them. However, the presence of several exceptions for the "one haplotype/one mutation" rule showed that the beta-globin gene cluster is far from static. Each of the IVS-I-110 (G-->A), Cd 39 (C-->T), IVS-I-6 (T-->C), and -30 (T-->A) beta-globin mutations was associated with a minimum of two sequence haplotypes. This fact is best explained by the likelihood of strong recombination mechanisms taking place, rather than by assuming multiple origins for each of these alleles. According to our results, malarial selection for the oldest beta-thalassemia allele in Anatolia (i.e., IVS-I-110 G-->A) may have occurred between 6500 and 2000 B.C. From that date on, most of the common beta-thalassemia mutations in Turkey were established, and by the 13th century A.D. most of them were brought to frequencies close to those observed at present. 相似文献

The incidence of cystic fibrosis (CF) and the frequency of disease-causing mutations varies among different ethnic and geographic populations. The Jewish population around the world is comprised of two major ethnic groups; Ashkenazi and non-Ashkenazi. The latter is further classified according to country of origin. In this study, we analyzed the incidence of CF and the distribution of CF mutations in the general Jewish population in Israel and in most of the Jewish ethnic subgroups. The disease frequency varies considerably among the latter. Among Ashkenazi Jews, the frequency of CF is 13300, which is similar to the frequency in most Caucasian populations. Among non-Ashkenazi Jews, the disease occurs at a similar frequency among Jews from Libya (12700), Georgia (12700), Greece and Bulgaria (12400), but is rare in Jews from Yemen (18800), Morocco (115000), Iraq (132000), and Iran (139000). So far, only 12 mutations have been identified in Israeli Jews, and this enables the identification of 91% of the CF chromosomes in the entire Jewish CF population. However, in each Jewish ethnic group, the disease is caused by a different repertoire of mutations. The frequency of identified mutations is high in Ashkenazi Jews (95%), and in Jews originating from Tunisia (100%), Libya (91%), Turkey (90%), and Georgia (88%). However, a lower frequency of mutations can be identified in Moroccan (85%), Egyptian (50%), and Yemenite (0%) Jews. For genetic counseling of a Jewish individual, it is necessary to calculate the residual risk according to ethnic origin. Carrier screening of healthy Jewish individuals is currently feasible for Ashkenazi Tunisian, Libyan, Turkish, and Georgian Jews. These results provide the required information for genetic counseling of Jewish CF families and screening programs of Jewish populations worldwide. 相似文献

An increased incidence of cystic fibrosis (CF) has been reported in some populations of Native Americans of the Southwest such as the Pueblo, which is a genetic isolate. As the most common mutation found in Caucasians (F508) was absent and only one chromosome carried the G542X mutation, we decided to analyze the entire coding sequence of the CFTR gene in eight Pueblo CF patients. We have identified four different mutations: G542X, R1162X, 3849+10kbCT, and D648V that account for these 16 haplotypes. The R1162X was found on 11 chromosomes. Using intragenic microsatellites, we have compared the haplotypes of those chromosomes to those of Italian origin where the R1162X mutation was initially reported. These haplotypes turned out to be identical, suggesting a common origin and an admixture with Italian or Spanish settlers, followed by typical founder effect. In contrast the 3849+10kbCT mutation, which was found on three chromosomes, is associated with different haplotypes than those on chromosomes carrying the same mutation in Caucasians. A novel mutation, D648V, observed on one chromosome has not been found outside the Pueblo population. 相似文献
