简介:目的:分析大前庭水管综合征(largevestibularaqueductsyndrome,LVAS)患者家系的SLC26A4基因突变方式并确定其是否致病。方法采集3个特殊LVAS家系的血样,测序分析SLC26A4基因型。采用在线软件SIFT、Polyphen-2预测这3个家系中所携带的罕见突变方式的致病性,利用排除法证明c.2343+69C>A的非致病性。结果共检出5种突变方式,其中4种为致病性基因突变。先证者基因型为IVS7-2A>G/c.1594A>C,IVS7-2A>G/c.1327G>C,IVS7-2A>G/c.1667A>G,均为LVAS。基因型为c.1594A>C/2343+69C>A,c.1327G>C/c.2343+69C>A,c.1667A>G/c.2343+69C>A的受检者听力正常。结论SLC26A4基因c.2343+69C>A突变方式是非致病的基因多态;3个家系先证者的父母再次妊娠出现聋儿的风险为25%。

简介:目的分析一个大前庭水管综合征家系的临床特征和SLC26A4基因检测特点。方法对一个大前庭水管综合征家系进行病史采集和听力学检测,绘制耳聋家系系谱图,提取受检者的基因组DNA,对所有家系成员进行耳聋基因芯片分析和SLC26A4基因全外显子及外显子侧翼序列的检测。结果该家系共5代合计30人(男17人,女13人),现存26人,其中第四代7人为耳聋患者,6人均为语前感音神经性聋。1人为语后感音神经性聋,颞骨CT显示均为前庭水管扩大,第五代1人为耳聋患者,表现为前庭水管扩大合并语前感音神经性聋。在家系中共发现SLC26A4基因c.754C〉T、c.919-2A〉G、c.1264-12T〉A和c.1548_1549insC四种已知致病突变类型。耳聋患者均为复合杂合突变。10人为SLC26A4基因携带者。结论该家系的8例耳聋患者由SLC26A4基因复合杂合突变导致前庭水管扩大,病因学分析可为患者提供预见性的临床措施,并为该家系的后代遗传咨询与婚育指导提供理论依据及科学手段,有效地防止聋儿后代出生。
