目的:了解本地区β-地中海贫血表型儿童中地中海贫血发生情况、基因突变类型。方法:选取2010年1月-2014年6月在该院就诊的1 713例β-地中海贫血表型儿童进行β-地中海贫血基因检测,确诊为β-地中海贫血者再进行α-地中海贫血基因检测。结果:1 713例β-地中海贫血高危儿童中确诊为β-地中海贫血儿童1 428例(83.36%),其中合并α-地中海贫血222例(15.55%)。共发现11种突变、30种基因类型中以CD41-42(-TCTT)(42.23%)和CD17(A→T)(27.31%)杂合子突变为主,双重杂合子突变111例(7.77%),纯合子突变42例(2.94%)。6种α-地中海贫血突变、11种基因类型中以--sea(31.99%)、αWSα(18.91%)和-α3.7(18.47%)突变杂合子最常见,Hb H病3例(1.35%),其中合并β-地中海贫血双重杂合子和纯合子突变30例(13.51%)。结论:本地区儿童地中海贫血突变类型、基因类型多样,中重型β-地中海贫血及α-合并β-地中海贫血发生率高,应加强地中海贫血干预工作,以避免中间型或重型地中海贫血儿的出生。
Objective: To understand the prevalence and types of gene mutation of thalassemia in children with β- thalassemia phenotype in the region. Methods: β- thalassemia gene detection was performed among 1 713 children with β- thalassemia phenotype from this hospital from January 2010 to June 2014,the children diagnosed as β- thalassemia definitely received α- thalassemia gene detection.Results: Among 1 713 children,1 428 children( 83. 36%) were diagnosed as β- thalassemia definitely,including 222 children( 15. 55%) combined with α- thalassemia. Eleven kinds of mutation were detected. Heterozygous mutations of CD41- 42(- TCTT)( 42. 23%) and CD17( A→T)( 27. 31%) were the main types among 30 genotypes. The detection rates of double heterozygous mutation and homozygous mutation were 7. 77%( 111 children) and 2. 94%( 42 children). Six kinds of α- thalassemia mutation were detected.Heterozygous mutations of-- sea( 31. 99%),αWSα( 18. 91%) and- α3. 7( 18. 47%) were the main types among 11 genotypes. The detection rate of heterozygous mutation and homozygous mutation of β- thalassemia was 13. 51%. Conclusion: The mutation types and genotypes of thalassemia are various among the children in the region,the incidence rates of moderate and severe β- thalassemia and α- thalassemia combined with β- thalassemia are high,intervention of thalassemia should be strengthened to avoid the birth of infants with intermediate type or severe thalassemia.
