【摘要】 本文报道了一个常染色体显性遗传小眼球的大家系,初步排除了此家系致病基因在目前已知位点(CHX10、MITF、RX、MCOP、NNO1、NNO2)的可能,并探讨了与11号染色体上的微卫星DNA标志的连锁关系。采用聚合酶链(PCR)扩增微卫星DNA片段,扩增产物进行聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳,用银染显示结果;用MLINK连锁分析软件计算LOD值。结果显示,本家系小眼球致病基因与6个已知位点及11号染色体上的微卫星DNA标志之间不存在连锁,提示此家系的致病位点目前尚未被定位。更多还原

【Abstract】 In this preliminary study a Chinese autosomal dominant microphthalmia family were investigated and the linkage analyses were performed with six previously reported loci (CHX10, MITF, RX, MCOP, NNO1, NNO2) and six microsatellite markers on chromosome 11 as well. The allelic polymorphisms of those microsatellite markers were identified by using polymerase chain reaction, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and silver-staining techniques. The LOD scores between microsatellite markers and the disease were obtained by using MLINK software. Our results showed that the linkage between the microphthalmia in this family with the 6 known loci could be excluded, indicating that the defect gene in this microphthalmia family was probably distinct from those of previously reported microphthalmia families.更多还原
