Summary A deletion of a single base in codon 55 (exon 2) of the phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene has been identified by direct DNA sequencing of 94 phenyl-ketonuria (PKU) chromosomes. This mutation alters the reading frame so that a stop signal (TAA) is generated in codon 60 of the PAH gene. Haplotype analysis revealed that all PKU alleles showing the codon 55 frameshift mutation exhibited haplotype 1. In our panel of DNA probes 13% of all mutant haplotype 1 alleles carry this particular mutation. Patients who were compound heterozygotes for this deletion and R408W in exon 12, or the splice mutation in intron 12, were affected by severe PKU. Thus, the clinical data provide additional evidence that haplotype 1 PKU alleles carry molecular defects which confer a null phenotype. In addition, we were able to show that the newly detected mutation occurs on alleles of different ethnic background. 相似文献

Summary Details are given concerning the phenylketonuria (PKU) mutations R408Q and F299C. Both mutations were identified among 47 PKU patients, derived from the Norwegian PKU registry. A novel PKU mutation (R408Q) was identified, by single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis, on six out of eight mutant haplotype 12 chromosomes and on none of the other PKU chromosomes. The F299C mutation occurred exclusively on mutant haplotype 8, and was the only mutation associated with this haplotype (on six chromosomes). One patient homozygous for each mutation was found. The patient homozygous for F299C manifested severe PKU, whereas the R408Q homozygote exhibited a mild PKU variant. Pedigree analysis of these families has not, so far, revealed consanguinity. Information on the place of birth of the relevant grandparents of the PKU patients with these mutations suggests that each of these mutations in Norway has originated from a common gene source. 相似文献

Summary The incidence of phenylketonuria (PKU) in the western part of Poland is 1 in 5000 live births. Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) haplotypes at the phenylalanine hydroxylase locus have been analysed in 46 Polish families with PKU. Among 43 fully-informative families 16 RFLP haplotypes were identified. Haplotype 2 is the most frequently (62%) associated with Polish PKU alleles, and the codon 408 mutation is in complete linkage disequilibrium with this haplotype in Poland. This finding is in agreement with observations in other eastern European countries (German Democratic Republic, Czechoslovakia, and Hungary) and in contrast to the genotype distribution observed in western European countries. The present observation suggests the spread of classical PKU, due to the codon 408 mutation associated with haplotype 2, from east to west in European populations. Perhaps more important for genetic counselling, 62% of all PKU chromosomes in the Polish population can now be detected using only one mutantspecific oligonucleotide probe. 相似文献

Summary In order to investigate the molecular basis of phenylketonuria (PKU) in the Polish population, we screened 44 mutant chromosomes from PKU probands for six known mutations, frequently occurring in western European countries, by polymerase chain reaction amplification of their genomic DNA and hybridization with allele-specific oligonucleotides. Our results show that the majority (66%) of all PKU alleles are characterized by three different mutations: in codon 408 (56.8%), codon 158 (6.8%) and codon 261 (2.27%). Of the mutant haplotype 2 alleles, 96% were linked to the mutation in codon 408. Out of five mutant haplotype 4 alleles, three showed the codon 158 mutation, and out of four mutant haplotype 1 alleles, one had the codon 261 mutation. In two families, MspI digests revealed an additional 13.5-kb band similar in length to that previously reported. However, analysis of exon 9 excluded the presence of the T to C transition originally described, indicating a new MspI variant in the Polish population. 相似文献

We analyzed DNA from nine French-Canadian probands from eastern Quebec province; all had hyperphenylalaninemia (phenylketonuria [PKU] or non-PKU forms) caused by mutations at the phenylalanine hydroxylase locus. Analysis of RFLP haplotypes and mutations revealed a novel mutation, an A-to-G transition (met----val) in codon 1 (the translation-initiation codon). It occurred on 5 of the 18 mutant chromosomes and was associated each time with haplotype 2. A proband homozygous for this mutation had the PKU phenotype. In other probands, the codon 1 mutation was inherited once with the splice junction mutation in exon 12 (on haplotype 3), conferring PKU, and was inherited twice with a mutation on haplotype 1, conferring PKU in one proband and non-PKU hyperphenylalaninemia in the other. The other five probands carried mutations, conferring PKU, on the following haplotype combinations: 1/3 (twice), 1/9, 3/4, and 1/1. The mutations on haplotypes 1, 4, and 9 are not yet characterized. This preliminary study reveals a novel PKU mutation and considerable genetic heterogeneity at the phenylalanine hydroxylase locus in French-Canadians. 相似文献

Summary Analysis of 81 phenylketonuria families from Bulgaria, Lithuania and eastern Germany demonstrated a high frequency of haplotype 2 and the associated Arg408 Trp408 substitution. Haplotype 3 and the splicing mutation in intron 12 are rare or absent in the groups studies. Pooling the data on European populations suggests a Balto-Slavic origin of the defect in codon 408 of the phenylalanine hydroxylase gene and a geographical gradient in the distribution of both major PKU mutations which may contribute to the higher incidence of classic PKU in northern Europeans. 相似文献

Independent phenylketonuria (PKU) chromosomes (n = 109) representing 80% of a proband cohort in Quebec province carry 18 different identified mutations in 20 different mutation/haplotype combinations. The study reported here, the third in a series on Quebec populations, was done in the Montreal region and predominantly on French Canadians. It has identified three novel mutations (A309D, D338Y, and 1054/1055delG[352fs]) and one unusual mutation/RFLP haplotype combination (E280K on Hp 2). The relative frequencies and distribution of PKU mutations were then compared in three regions and population subsets (eastern Quebec, French Canadian; western Quebec, French Canadian; and Montreal, non-French Canadian). The distributions of the prevalent and rare mutations are nonrandom and provide evidence for genetic stratification. The latter and the presence of eight unusual mutation/haplotype combinations in Quebec families with European ancestries (the aforementioned four and M1V, I65T, S349P, and R408W on Hp 1) corroborate demographic and anthropologic evidence, from elsewhere, for different origins of French Canadians in eastern and western Quebec. 相似文献

Restriction fragment length polymorphism haplotyping of mutated and normal phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) alleles in 49 Dutch phenylketonuria (PKU) families was performed. All mutant PAH chromosomes identified by haplotyping (n = 98) were screened for eight of the most predominant mutations. Compound heterozygosity was proven in 40 kindreds. Homozygosity was found for the IVS12nt1 mutation in 5 families, and for the R158Q and IVS10nt546 mutations in one family each. All patients from these families suffer from severe PKU, providing additional proof that these mutations are deleterious for the PAH gene. Genotypical heterogeneity was evident for mutant haplotype 1 (n = 27) carrying the mutations R261Q (n = 12), E280K (n = 4), P281L (n = 1) and unknown (n = 10), and likewise for mutant haplotype 4 (n = 30) carrying the mutations R158Q (n = 13), Y414C (n = 1) and unknown (n = 16). Mutant haplotype 3 (n = 20), in tight association with mutation IVS12nt1, appeared to be in strong linkage disequilibrium (LDE) with its normal counterpart allele (n = 4). Mutant haplotype 6 (n = 4), in tight association with the IVS10nt546 mutation, showed moderate LDE with its counterpart allele (n = I). The distribution of the mutant PAH haplotypes 1, 3 and 4 among the Dutch PKU population resembles that in other Northern and Western European countries, but it is striking that mutant haplotype 2 and its associated mutation R408W is nearly absent in The Netherlands, in strong contrast to its neighbouring countries. 相似文献

The codon 408 mutation (CGG----TGG, Arg----Trp) in exon 12 of the phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene occurs on haplotype 1 in French-Canadians; elsewhere this mutation (R408W) occurs on haplotype 2. A CpG dinucleotide is involved. The finding is compatible with a recurrent mutation, gene conversion, or a single recombination between haplotypes 2 and 1. A tabulation of 20 known mutations at the PAH locus reveals three instances of putative recurrent mutation. 相似文献

Three novel mutations have been identified in the phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) genes of Chinese classical phenylketonuria (PKU) patients. Two of these substitutions (W326X and Y356X) result in the generation of a premature stop codon, while the third (IVS-7nt2) alters an invariant dinucleotide splicing signal. These mutations together account for about 10% of all PKU alleles in the Chinese population. The W326X mutation is associated with PAH RFLP haplotype 4, the most common haplotype in Orientals, while the IVS-7nt2 mutation occurs once on a haplotype 7 chromosome. The Y356X mutation is associated with multiple haplotypes, possibly due to crossover, gene conversion, or recurrent mutation. 相似文献

A detailed study of the mutant phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene from the eastern part of the Czech Republic (Moravia) is reported. A total of 190 mutant alleles from 95 phenylketonuria (PKU) families were analyzed for 21 prevalent Caucasian mutations and restriction fragment length polymorphism /variable number of tandem repeats (RFLP/VNTR) haplotypes. Eighty per cent of all mutant alleles were found to carry 11 mutations. The most common molecular defect was the mutation R408W (55.3%), with a very high degree of homozygosity (34.6%). Each of four other mutations (R158Q, R243X, G272X, IVS12nt1) accounted for more than 3% of PKU alleles. Rarely present were mutations IVS10nt546 (2.6%), R252W (2.6%), L48S (2.1%), R261Q (1.6%), Y414C (1.0%) and I65T (0.5%). Mutations that have been predominantly described in southern Europe (IVS7nt1, A259V, Y277D, R241H, T278N) were not detected. A total of 14 different mutant haplotypes were observed. Three unusual genotype-haplotype associations were identified (R158Q on haplotypes 2.3 and 7.8 and R252W on haplotype 69.3). There was a strong association between the mutation R408W and haplotype 2.3 (54.7%). Heterogeneity was found at mutations R408W (haplotypes 2.3 and 5.9), R158Q (haplotypes 4.3, 2.3 and 7.8) and IVS10nt546 (haplotypes 6.7 and 34.7). The molecular basis of PKU in the Moravian area appears to be relatively homogeneous in comparison with other southern and western European populations, thus providing a good starting point for prenatal diagnosis and early clinical classification. 相似文献

The mutation S349P in exon 10 of the phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene was identified in one Norwegian and one Polish phenylketonuria (PKU) allele on a haplotype 1.7 background. This missense mutation in PAH codon 349 is a T to C transition in cDNA position 1267. This mutation has been reported both on haplotype 1 and 4, suggesting recurrent mutation. In two different expression systems, the pET and the pMAL systems of Escherichia coli, it was shown that the S349P mutation, introduced by site directed mutagenesis, results in complete loss of enzymatic activity. Thus, protein instability alone does not seem to be the direct cause of the lack of activity of this PKU mutation as previously reported.We have identified mutations in the PAH gene of 118 PKU patients in Norway. To obtain information about how the different mutations affect the catalytic properties of the PAH enzyme we have used two prokaryotic expression systems.We detected the mutation S349P (Forrest et al. 1991) in one Norwegian patient and one of Polish ancestry. This mutation has previously been reported on haplotype 4 in North-African Jews (Weinstein et al. 1993), and on haplotype 1 in French-Canadians (John et al. 1992) and in Danes (Guldberg et al. 1993a). Here we present gene expression data showing that the recombinant mutant enzyme has no measurable residual catalytic activity. 相似文献

Summary Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) haplotypes and mutations at the phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) locus have been studied in 25 unrelated families from Croatia. The results of RFLP analysis demonstrated that 80% of the mutant alleles were associated with three haplotypes (1, 2 and 4). Eight mutations were detected on the background of six mutant haplotypes, comprising 68% of phenylketonuria (PKU) alleles in Croatia. The mutation in codon 408 was most frequent, as was the haplotype 2 allele with which it was associated. These data are in accordance with formerly published population genetic analyses at the PAH locus, and with studies revealing the molecular basis of the phenotypic heterogeneity of PKU. The codon 281 mutation was more frequent in Croatia than previously observed in other populations. 相似文献

Summary A new mutation has been identified in exon 12 of the gene encoding phenylalanine hydroxylase at codon 408. The single base change from guanine to adenine changes the amino acid arginine to glutamine; thus, the mutation is defined as R408Q. This codon is the site of a mutation known to causes phenylketonuria. Both these mutations are located at the same CpG site. 相似文献

Summary A silent mutation or sequence polymorphism, an A to T substitution at codon 399 in exon 11 of the phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene has been identified by DNA sequence analysis in the Chinese. The frequencies of this new mutation in normal and abnormal (phenylketonuria; PKU) genes are 0.005 and 0.09, respectively, based on the analyses of 100 apparently normal individuals and 39 PKU patients, as demonstrated by DNA amplification with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and oligonucleotide hybridization methods. The results suggest that there is linkage disequilibrium between this polymorphism and PKU mutations in the PAH gene; approximately 10% of defect PAH alleles in the Chinese population may be identified with this sequence polymorphic marker. 相似文献

Two missense mutations have been identified in the phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) genes of an Italian phenylketonuria (PKU) patient. Both mutations occurred in exon 7 of the PAH gene, resulting in the substitution of Trp for Arg at amino acid 252 (R252W) and of Leu for Pro (P281L) at amino acid 281 of the protein. Expression vectors containing either the normal human PAH cDNA or mutant cDNAs were constructed and transfected into cultured mammalian cells. Extracts from cells transfected with either mutant construct showed negligible enzyme activity and undetectable levels of immunoreactive PAH protein as compared to the normal construct. These results are compatible with the severe classical PKU phenotype observed in this patient. Population genetic studies in the Italian population revealed that both the R252W and the P281L mutations are in linkage disequilibrium with mutant restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) haplotype 1, which is the most prevalent RFLP haplotype in this population. The R252W mutation is present in 10% and the P281L mutation is present in 20% of haplotype 1 mutant chromosomes. These mutations are both very rare among other European populations, suggesting a Mediterranean origin for these mutant chromosomes. 相似文献

Hyperphenylalaninemia (HPA) results from defective hydroxylation of phenylalanine in the liver, in most cases because of defective phenylalanine hydroxylase. HPA is highly variable, ranging from moderate elevation of plasma phenylalanine with no clinical consequences to a severe disease, classical phenylketonuria (PKU). Non-PKU HPA was found in excess of PKU in Israel, while the opposite is true in Europe. To study the genetic basis of non-PKU HPA, we performed haplotype analysis at the phenylalanine hydroxylase locus in 27 families with non-PKU HPA. All individuals with this condition were compound heterozygotes. In six of these families, in which both PKU and non-PKU HPA were segregating, haplotype analysis showed that non-PKU HPA resulted from compound heterozygosity for a PKU mutation and a second mutation, with milder effect, which is probably expressed only when it interacts with the severe mutation. The involvement of PKU mutations in non-PKU HPA was further demonstrated in Jewish Yemenite families with non-PKU HPA, in which the individuals with this condition were carriers of the single PKU allele which exists in this community. In addition, two previously known PKU point mutations (R261Q and R408W) were found in individuals with non-PKU HPA. These mutations are associated, in our population, with the same haplotypes as those with which it is associated in Europe. Based on the above-mentioned genetic model for non-PKU HPA, successful prenatal diagnosis of this condition was performed in one family.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Background
Characterization of the molecular basis of phenylketonuria (PKU) in North-east of Iran has been accomplished through the analysis of 62 unrelated chromosomes from 31 Iranian PKU patients.Methods
Phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene mutations have been analyzed by direct DNA sequencing exons 6, 7, 10 and 11.Results
A mutation detection rate of 74% was achieved. Eleven different mutations were found, with the most frequent mutation, IVS10-11G > A, accounting for 19% of Khorasan-Razavi PKU alleles. Ten mutations (R176X, E280K, IVS11 + 1G > C, S231P, Q383X, R243X, I224T, E390G, R252W and P281L) represent the rest PKU chromosomes. One novel mutation, Q383X in the homozygote form was identified which is located in the catalytic domain (residues143–410).Conclusion
With this high detection rate of mutations in North-east of Iran, new strategy for carrier testing could be DNA sequencing of these four exons. The other exons and boundaries will be studied only when either one or no mutations are detected in the initial screen. 相似文献19.
The comparison of regional patterns of recessive disease mutations is a new source of information for studies of population
genetics. The analysis of phenylketonuria (PKU) mutations in Northern Ireland shows that most major episodes of immigration
have left a record in the modern genepool. The mutation I65T can be traced to the Palaeolithic people of western Europe who,
in the Mesolithic period, first colonised Ireland. R408W (on haplotype 1) in contrast, the most common Irish PKU mutation,
may have been prevalent in the Neolithic farmers who settled in Ireland after 4500 BC. No mutation was identified that could represent European Celtic populations, supporting the view that the adoption of Celtic
culture and language in Ireland did not involve major migration from the continent. Several less common mutations can be traced
to the Norwegian Atlantic coast and were probably introduced into Ireland by Vikings. This indicates that PKU has not been
brought to Norway from the British Isles, as was previously argued. The rarity in Northern Ireland of IVS12nt1, the most common
mutation in Denmark and England, indicates that the English colonialisation of Ireland did not alter the local genepool in
a direction that could be described as Anglo-Saxon. Our results show that the culture and language of a population can be
independent of its genetic heritage, and give some insight into the history of the peoples of Northern Ireland.

A novel mutation has been identified in the human phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene of a Chinese patient with classical phenylketonuria (PKU). It is a single base transition of G to A at the last base in intron 4 of the gene, which abolishes the 3'-acceptor site of the intron. Population screening indicates that this mutation constitutes about 8% of all PKU chromosomes in Chinese but is absent in Japanese and Caucasian PKU patients. It is prevalent in southern China but rare in northern China, providing additional evidence that there were multiple founding populations of PKU in east Asia. 相似文献
