[IDUA gene mutation analysis and prenatal diagnosis of two families affected with mucopolysaccharidosis type I].
摘要
OBJECTIVE: To analyze mutations of IDUA gene in two pedigrees affected with mucopolysaccharidosis type I and provide prenatal diagnosis for them. METHODS: The 14 exons of the IDUA gene were subjected to PCR amplification and Sanger sequencing. RESULTS: For pedigree 1, the proband was found to harbor compound heterozygous mutations c.46-57delTCGCTCCTGGCC (p.Ser16_Ala19del) of exon 1 and c.1147delC (p.Arg383Alafs*57) of exon 8 of the IDUA gene, which were inherited from his father and mother, respectively. The latter was unreported previously. Prenatal diagnosis suggested that the fetus has carried a heterozygous c.46-57delTCGCTCCTGGCC mutation. For family 2, the proband was also found to carry compound mutations of the IDUA gene, namely c.721T to C (p.Cys241Arg) of exon 6 and c.1491delG (p.Thr497fs27) of exon 8, which were inherited from her mother and father, respectively. Neither mutation was reported previously. Prenatal diagnosis suggested that the fetus has carried a heterozygous c.721T to C mutation. CONCLUSION: Mutations of the IDUA gene probably underlie the MPS-I in both pedigrees. Above results have enriched the spectrum of IDUA gene mutations and facilitated prenatal diagnosis for both families.
