目的探讨基因芯片在耳聋基因筛查中的应用价值。方法对扬州市聋哑学校21例8-18岁的耳聋患者中4个耳聋相关基因上的9个热点突变进行检测,包括GJB2(35delG、176dell6、235delC及299delAT)、GJB3(C538T)、SLC26A4(IVS7-2A〉G、A2168G)以及线粒体12SrRNA(A1555G、C1494T)。结果SLC26A4突变阳性率为38%(8/21),其中IVS7-2A〉G杂合突变7例,IVS7-2A〉G与A2168G杂合突变1例;GJB2突变阳性率为19%(4/21),其中176del16杂合突变1例,299delAT杂合突变1例,176del16与235delC杂合突变1例,235delC纯合突变1例。结论基因芯片是一种筛查耳聋基因的高效、经济、简便、灵敏及特异性方法。
To investigate the application o~ DNA microarray to the screening of deafness gene mutations. Methods Twenty one deaf patients aged from 8 to 18 years were extracted for peripheral blood. DNA microarray was applied to detecting mutations of 9 hotspots in ,four most common patholgic genes, namely GJB2 (35delG, 176de116, 235delC, 299delAT) , GJB3 (C538T), SLC26A4 (IVS7-2A 〉 G, A2168G) and mitochondrial 12S rRNA (A1555G, C1494T). Results SLC26A4 gene mutations were detected in 8 cases (38%) , including IVS7-2A 〉 G heterozygons mutation in 7 and IVS7-2A 〉 G and 2168A 〉 G heterozygous mutation in one. Four eases (19%) carried GJB2 gene mutations, including 176 del 16 heterozygons mutation (n = 1 ) , 299 delAT heterozygons mutation ( n = 1 ) , 176 del 16 and 235 del C heterozygons mutation ( n = 1 ) , and 235 del C homozygous mutation (n = 1 ). Conclusion DNA microarray is a sensitive and specific method for screening sequence variation in deafness gene.
