目的探讨中国汉族人群早发性帕金森综合征(early-onset parkinsonism, EOP)DJ-1基因突变情况。方法应用实时荧光定量聚合酶链反应(PCR)结合DNA直接测序技术对160例EOP患者进行了DJ-1基因突变分析。结果对DJ-1基因外显子重排突变分析发现,4例新的DJ-1基因外显子2的杂合缺失突变,突变频率2.5%(4/160);DNA直接测序方法未发现DJ-1基因的致病突变,发现了4种已报道的单核苷酸多态(SNP)和1种新的SNP,分别为:IVS4+30 T→G、IVS4+45 G→A、IVS4+46 G→A、IVS5+31 G→A和IVS6+52C→T。结论DJ-1基因外显子2的杂合缺失突变扩展了DJ-1基因的突变谱,可能是中国汉族人群EOPDJ-1基因突变的重要形式。
Objective To screen for DJ-1 gene mutation in Chinese Han patients with early-onset Parkinsonism (EOP). Methods Real-time PCR combining DNA direct sequencing was used to identify mutation in DJ-1 gene in 160 Chinese Han patients with EOP. Results Four novel heterozygous deletion mutations in exon 2 were detected in this group by real-time PCR, suggesting 2. 5% (4/160) mutation frequency. PCR-direct sequencing detected four single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and 1 novel SNP: IVS4 +30 T→G, IVS4 +45 G→A, IVS4 +46 G→A, IVS5 +31 G→A and IVS6 +52 C→T. Conclusion Our findings enlarge the mutation spectrum of DJ-1 gene. Heterozygous deletion mutation in exon 2 may be an important mutation type in Chinese Han EOP patients.
