| 摘要: |
| 目的 对一个来自浙江省杭州地区的三代先天性白内障家系进行常染色体显性遗传基因的突变分析，以寻找其可能的致病基因及突变位点。方法 该家系共10例成员，其中包括4例患者。10 例家系成员在浙江省人民医院眼科中心接受眼科专科检查及全身检查，以排除存在白内障以外的眼部及全身疾患。10例家系成员各抽取外周血5ml，提取基因组DNA。针对国内外文献报道的与常染色体显性遗传先天性白内障相关的18 个基因（CRYAA、CRYAB、CRYBA1、CRYBA2、CRYBA4、CRYBB1、CRYBB2、CRYGC、CRYGD、CRYGS、GJA3、GJA8、MIP、BFSP、HSF4、PITX3、EPHA2、PAX6）设计引物，进行PCR 扩增，对扩产物进行测序和序列分析，了解这10例家系成员的以上基因是否存在相应的序列。结果 临床眼科检查显示该家系先天性白内障类型为粉尘状白内障。候选基因序列测定显示在CRYAA 第1 个外显子中第6 位碱基发生C→T 置换，氨基酸同为天门冬氨酸。该家系中所有患者均有此改变，而所有的正常家系成员均无此改变。结论 CRYAA 第1个外显子中第6位碱基发生C→T的同义突变可能是导致该家系先天性白内障发生的致病原因。 |

| Abstract: |
| Objective To identify the pathogenic gene of congenital cataract in a Chinese family. Methods In a three-generation Chinese family 4 members were affected by congenital cataract in both eyes. Ten individuals from this family underwent ophthalmologic and physical examination in Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital. The DNA was extracted from periphery blood samples and amplified by PCR. The PCR products were sequenced and analyzed to detect mutations of 18 autosomal dominant congenital contact-related genes (CRYAA, CRYAB, CRYBA1, CRYBA2, CRYBA4, CRYBB1, CRYBB2, CRYGC, CRYGD, CRYGS, GJA3, GJA8, MIP, BFSP, HSF4, PITX3, EPHA2 and PAX6). Results The congenital cataract in this family is pulverulent type. A C→T mutation at 6 base in the first exon of CRYAA gene was detected, which was coding the same amino acid (asparaginic acid). All the patients in this family had this mutation, while the mutation was not detected in normal family members. Conclusion The study identifies a mutation in CRYAA, which may contribute to the pathogenesis of congenital cataract in this family. |
