摘要目的 分析1例临床诊断的15岁典型Fabry病男性患者的临床表现、α-半乳糖苷酶A(α-GalA)基因(GLA)突变位点及其活性,并对无临床表现的患者母亲进行了相应的对照分析.方法 收集该例患者的临床资料,提取患者及其母亲、1名健康对照者的外周血基因组DNA,PCR分段扩增GLA基因的7个外显子,产物纯化后克隆入T载体进行DNA测序,检测是否存在突变位点,进一步应用荧光底物法榆测α-Gala的活性.结果 基因检测证实患者GLA基凶第7号外显子发生一个错义突变,即10036-10038位的AAG缺失(10036-10038delAAG),导致其编码的第374位的赖氨酸和第375位甘氨酸突变成精氨酸,该突变位点经国内外文献检索未见报道.该患者为带有突变基因的半合子,母亲为携带突变基因的杂合子,健康对照者未发现突变.α-GalA酶活性检测结果显示,携带该突变位点GLA基因的患者,其α-GalA酶活性只有健康对照者的50%左右,患者母亲的α-GalA酶活性为健康对照者的70%左右.结论 对临床疑似的Fabry病患者及其亲属,进行GLA基冈突变检测,结合α-GalA酶活性检测,有助于早期筛选出家系中的其他患者,能更加深入地了解Fabry病的分子发病机制.

abstractsObjective To analyse the clinical characteristics,gene mutation and enzymatic activity of αgalactosidase A(α-GalA)in a 15-year-old male patient with typical Fabry disease,whose mother was without any clinical manifestations.Methods Clinical features and laboratory data were collected from the patient and his mother.Genomie DNA was extracted from peripheral blood of the patient.his mother,and a healthy control subject.Seven exons of the GLA gene were amplified by PCR.PCR products were purified.cloned into T vector,and then sequenced.The enzymatic activity of α-GalA Was measured by fluorimetrie substrate assay. Results DNA sequencing results showed that a missense mutation of 10036-10038delAAG in exon 7 WaS identified in the patient,resulting in the replacement of 374 lysine and 375 glyeine by arginine,which Was not previously reported.The patient Was a hemizygote with gene mutation,his mother WaS a heterozygote carrying gene mutation,and the healthy control without mutation.α-GalA enzymatic activity assay showed that the enzymatic activity of the patient with GLA gene mutation was only 50%of the healthy control subject,while the enzymatic activity of the patient's mother Was about 70%of the heahhy control SObject.Conclusiolls Detecting GLA gene mutation and α-GalA enzymatic activity in patients with Fabry disease who have been clinically diagnosed seelns to be helpful in finding other patients in the family and in further understanding the molecular pathogenesis of that disease.
