The kit of change and its application.
Background technique
Fragile X mental retardation (Fragile X Syndrome, FXS) be only second to Down syndrome disease incidence second it is high
Heredity feeblemindedness disease is incomplete dominance X linked genetic diseases.Fragile X mental retardation feeblemindedness gene I (Fragile X
Mental Retardation I, FMR1) be located at chromosome x q27.3, in genome sequence about 38Kb, by 17 exons and
16 introne compositions.The molecular genetics basis of FXS is that the number of the end FMR1 gene 5' noncoding region (CGG) n is different, is divided into
Normally, premutation, full mutation.(CGG) length of n repetitive sequence has polymorphism in crowd.In FXS patient, (CGG) n
230 times, even up to thousands of times are repeated more than, this seed type is known as full mutation.Full mutation be frequently accompanied by the duplicate block (CGG) n and
The high methylation of FMR1 gene promoter region.Another situation is that FXS patient inherits abnormal FRM1 from its mother
Allele, their mother or carry it is similar it is abnormal repeat, but due to women X chromosome it is random inactivate without
It shows abnormal phenotype or its FMR1 equipotential is only interim form, referred to as premutation.(CGG) n repeat number of premutation is 53-
Between 230, small premutation does not have abnormal methylation;Big premutation will appear partial methylation.
FXS clinical phenotypes include feeblemindedness, attention disorders, have self-closing disease tendency.Typical patient also has after puberty
There are the corporal characteristics such as prominent high forehead, big ear and lower jaw, big testis, range of motion be excessive.Due in preadolescence illness youngster
Virgin clinical manifestation is without specificity, so medical diagnosis on disease and screening are mainly according to laboratory diagnostic method.Currently used molecule
Diagnostic method has PCR capillary electrophoresis, gene with methylation specific PCR (MS-PCR).PCR capillary electrophoresis is for FMR1
(CGG) n repeat region of gene designs suitable primer, expands the repeat region, amplified fragments size will be repeated by (CGG) n
Number determines, the size of PCR product is distinguished by Capillary Electrophoresis, extrapolates (CGG) n repeat number according to the size.PCR capillary
The advantages of electrophoresis tube method is that normal and small premutation is particularly effective.But big full mutation amplification is just difficult, may lead
Cause is failed to pinpoint a disease in diagnosis.
MS-PCR method is the promoter region that can cause FMR1 gene for the full mutation of FMR1 gene and big premutation
The situation that methylates realizes diagnosis.But MS-PCR finally needs to detect whether that there are methyl by electrophoretic
Change, it is difficult to do the screening of great amount of samples.And the specificity of PCR primer is depended merely in MS-PCR only to distinguish methylation and non-methyl
The DNA of change state, it is specific and bad.
