The application of molecular analyses can facilitate prenatal diagnosis for families affected by NCL1 or NCL2, in which the familial mutation(s) have been identified. Molecular testing with allele-specific primer extension and DNA sequencing was performed in nine pregnancies, four from two NCL1 families and five from five NCL2 families. Lysosomal enzyme activity assays were carried out as well.Four fetuses from three pregnancies in NCL1 families were found to be carriers for a mutation 451C-T in the CLN 1 gene and one was normal. Prenatal testing of three NCL2 families who carried mutation R208X in the CLN 2 gene showed that all fetuses were carriers. In NCL2 families who carried either mutation IVS5-1C or/and IVS5-1A two normal pregnancies were detected. Our studies indicate that DNA testing, which may provide definitive prenatal diagnosis for NCL, may be used in combination with lysosomal enzyme activity analyses.展开更多
目的:探讨溶酶体相关4次跨膜蛋白质β(lysosome-associated protein transmembrane4 beta,LAPTM4B)基因多态性与肺癌易感性的关系.方法:以病例-对照研究的方法,用基于特异性引物的PCR对134例正常人和162例肺癌患者进行LAPTM4B基因分型,...目的:探讨溶酶体相关4次跨膜蛋白质β(lysosome-associated protein transmembrane4 beta,LAPTM4B)基因多态性与肺癌易感性的关系.方法:以病例-对照研究的方法,用基于特异性引物的PCR对134例正常人和162例肺癌患者进行LAPTM4B基因分型,将卡方检验用于检测肺癌组和对照组基因型频率和其它参数的分布.结果:LAPTM4B的*2等位基因频率在肺癌组中为40.1%,较对照组(28.0%)显著增高(P=0.002).基因型分布在肺癌组和对照组间差异有统计学意义.*1/2和*2/2基因携带者患肺癌的危险性分别是*1/1的1.91倍(95%CI:1.178～3.110)与3.26倍(95%CI:1.338～7.929).LAPTM4B基因型分布与患者年龄,肺癌的病理类型,分化程度,临床分期以及HBV感染等无明显关系.结论:LAPTM4B基因多态性与肺癌易感性相关,* 2等位基因可能是肺癌发生的危险因素.展开更多
