目的:探讨本课题组收集家族性高胆固醇血症(FH)患者中存在低密度脂蛋白受体(LDLR)第13外显子(E13)基因突变患者临床生化和心血管系统损害特点。方法:对9例临床诊断为FH、基因检测到LDLR基因E13突变的患者进行回顾性分析。结果:(1)临床诊断FH纯合子患者7名,其总胆固醇(TC)水平15.12~26.14mmol/L,杂合子患者2名,TC水平11.30~11.75mmol/L。(2)均可见不同程度黄色瘤;(3)FH纯合子3例心电图出现ST-T改变;4例儿童和1例青年患者出现瓣膜损害,冠脉血流储备(CVFR)减低;杂合子心电图检查均正常,1例出现瓣膜损害,CVFR均正常。(4)核苷酸序列分析证实:9例E13突变患者中,A606T纯合突变3名;D601Y纯合突变2名;A606T+W462X和A606T+D601Y复合杂合突变各1名;A606T和D601Y杂合突变各1名。结论:FH严重损害患儿心血管系统和皮肤,LDLR基因E13出现的A606T和D601Y突变可能成为中国FH人群的高频突变位点。
Objective:To screen the mutation of LDLR gene exon 13 of which could be diagnosed as familial hypercholesterolemia(FH),explore the relationship between the genotype and phenotype,and discuss the molecular pathologic mechanism.Methods:we retrospectively reviewed 9 patients who were agreed with clinical diagnostic criteria,and confirmed as LDLR exon13 mutations by gene screen.Results:(1) The level of cholesterol of FH homozygotes were very high(15.12~26.14 mmol/L) and heterozygotes were higher than normal(11.30~11.75 mmol/L).(2) The lesions of xanthoma were found in all patients.(3) ST-T change were found in 3 homozygotes but not heterozygotes.Cardiac valve lesions and CFVR were found in 4 homozygotes and 1 heterozygotes by echocardiography.(3) No Mutations R3500Q of apoB100 were observed.(4) The homozygous mutations in exon13 of the LDLR gene(A606T and D601Y) were identified in 3 and 2 patients respectively,compound heterozygous mutations of A606T+ W462X(E10) and A606T + D601Y were identified in 2 patients and heterozygous mutations of A606T and D601Y were identified in 2 patients.Conclusion:The mutation in exon13 of the LDLR gene(A606T and D601Y) might predominate in the Chinese main land population.
