ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the relationship between the single nucleotide polymorphisms of SCN1A genes and the therapeutic effects of carbamazepine in Zhuang population with epilepsies. Methods We used Mass ARRAY-IPLEX and matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) technology to detect the SCN1A gene rs4667869 and rs10497275 genotypes in peripheral blood of186 Zhuang individuals with epileptic (66 cases in effective group and 120 cases of ineffective group) who received the standardized treatment of carbamazepine in Baise Region. The reversed phase high-performance liquid chromatography was used to determine blood drug level of carbamazepine. The correlations between the genotypes, alleles and the carbamazepine efficacy of the two groups were evaluated, respectively. We also analyzed the difference of carbamazepine's blood concentration between different genotypes. Results Three genotypes of GG, GC and CC were detected in rs4667869 locus. There were 3 genotypes of GG, GA and AA found in rs 10497275 locus.The differences in the allele distribution (χ2 = 11.790, P = 0.001) and genotype distribution (χ2= 10.655, P =0.005) of the rs4667869 locus were statistically significant between the two groups (ineffective group vs. effective group). However, there was no significant difference in allele distribution (χ2 = 3.335, P= 0.068) and genotype (χ2= 3.046, P = 0.218) for rs 10497275 locus in these two groups. Compared with the GG + GC genotype, the CC genotype of rs4667869 locus significantly reduced the antiepileptic efficacy of carbamazepine (OR = 2.800, 95%CI : 1.495~5.244). W hile there were no significant differences in blood concentration of genotype CC (t=1.273, P = 0.083) comparing with genotypes GG + GC in rs4667869. No significant differences were found in blood concentration between genotype AA and genotypes GG + GA of rs 10497275 (t= 0.963, P = 0.064). Conclusions These results suggest that the single nucleotide polymorphisms of rs4667869 in SCN1A genes could be associated with the drug resistance of carbamazepine in Zhuang population with epilepsies.

ABSTRACT

Objective To determine the role of SCN1A gene variation in the development of familial febrile seizures (FS).Methods Clinical data were collected from 8 familial FS pedigrees, and peripheral venous blood samples were collected from the probands and other available family members. All 26 coding exons and exon-intron boundaries at least 50 bases of the human SCN1A gene were amplifled by polymerase chain reaction, the products were subsequently sequenced. To novo variation, other family members were screened for the corresponding exons. Two hundred age-matched healthy children were served as normal controls. ResultsA total of 33 variations in the SCN1A gene were identifled in these families. Of these variations, one was a missense mutation; the remaining 32 variations were previously submitted as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). A c.2650G>A heterozygous missense mutation in exon 15 of the SCN1A gene found in the proband of family 4 was inherited from his father who had seizures with fever in early childhood. The c.2650G>A mutation was absent in the 400 alleles of normal controls. To the best of our knowledge, the SCN1A c.2650G>A mutation has neither been reported in the NCBI SNP database nor in the literature to date. The c.2650G>A mutation changes a glycine at amino acid 884 in the SCN1A protein to a serine (p.Gly884Ser). Protein sequence analysis showed that the p.Gly884Ser is located at a highly conserved region between the 4th and 5th transmembrane segment of the homologous domain Ⅱ of voltage-gated sodium channel 1 subunit (DIIS4-S5). ConclusionsThe pathogenesis of familial febrile seizures was related to the SCN1A variation, the mutation outside the region of the voltage sensor (S4) and ion channel pore (S5-S6) of the voltage gated sodium channelα-subunit may be an important factor to cause mild phenotype epilepsy syndrome.

ABSTRACT

Las a talasemias en la mayoría de los casos es debida a deleciones que afectan a uno o a los dos genes a, siendo poco frecuente los casos debidos a mutaciones puntuales, inserciones o deleciones de pocos pares de bases, los cuales se han denominado a talasemias no deleción. Se determinó la incidencia de la a talasemia no deleción en los pacientes con a talasemia, mediante biología molecular. Se estudiaron 517 individuos remitidos al Hospital Clínico San Carlos, centro de referencia de estudios moleculares de Talasemias en Madrid- España, entre Enero del 2001 a Diciembre del 2003, en los que se había descartado ferropenia y presentaban microcitosis, hipocromía, Hb A2, Hb F y EEF de Hbs normales. Se estudiaron los 2 tipos de a talasemia no deleción más descritas en el Mediterráneo: 1) aHph debida a la deleción de 5 bp en el IVS I y 2) aNco a un cambio en el codón de iniciación del gen. De los 517, 40 presentaban una a talasemia no deleción (7,7%). De éstos, 28 fueron positivos para aHph del gen a2, 24 en estado heterocigoto, 1 homocigoto y 3 dobles heterocigotos asociados con la deleción 3,7 kb. Los 12 restantes resultaron positivos para la aNco del gen a2, 10 heterocigotos, 1 homocigoto y 1 doble heterocigoto asociado con la deleción 4,2 kb. La a talasemia no deleción representa < 8% de los casos de a talasemia en nuestro medio. La aHph es el tipo de a talasemia no deleción más frecuente y cuyas anormalidades hematológicas son más manifiestas que las presentadas en los casos de aNco.


The a thalassaemia diseases in most cases are caused by deletions that affect one or two of the a genes, being less frequent the cases due to punctual mutations, insertions or deletions of a few pairs of bases, which have been denominated no deletion a thalassaemias. The objective of this investigation was to determine the incidence of the no deletion a thalassaemia in patients with a thalassaemia using molecular biology techniques. We studied 517 individuals of the San Carlos Hospital (Thalassemia Molecular Research Center, Madrid-Spain) between January 2001 and December 2003, in whom iron deficiency anemia had been ruled out, that presented microcytosis and hypochromia and that presented normal HbA2, HbF and EEF from normal Hbs. The two types of no deletion a thalassaemia most frequently described in the Mediterranean were studied: 1) a Hph due to deletion of 5bp in the IVS I and 2) aNco due to a change in the initiation codon of the gene. Of the 517 cases studied, 40 (7.7% of the cases) represented a no deletion a thalassaemia. Of these cases, 28 were positive for aHph of the a2 gene, 24 in the heterozygote state, one homozygote and three double heterozygotes associated with the 3,7 kb deletion. The remaining 12 cases were positive for the aNco of the a2 gene, 10 heterozygotes, one homozygote and one double heterozygote associated with the 4,2 kb deletion. The no deletion a thalassaemias represent < 8% from the cases in our environment. The aHph is the most frequent type of no deletion a thalassaemia and its haematological abnormalities are more manifest that the ones present in the cases of aNco.

ABSTRACT

Objective To detect VP1 and 2A genes of Enterovirus type 71 (EV71) isolated from clinical specimens of patients with light or heavy symptoms and analyze the homogeneity and phylogenetic tree. Methods Fifty clinical specimens of children with hand-foot-and-mouth disease ( HFMD) were dealed with, which were tested by RT-PCR assay with specific primer pairs for EV71. EV71 isolates from patients with light or heavy clinical symptoms were tested by RT-PCR assay with two specific primer pairs for VP1 and 2A genes of EV71 respectively. All of the PCR products were sequenced and compared with that of previously isolated EV71 isolates available from GenBank by homogeneity and phylogenetic tree analyses. Results The RT-PCR results indicated that 30 isolates were EV71, 13 of 30 isolates were from clinical specimens of patients with light symptoms of hand-foot and mouth, the other were from clinical specimens of patients with heavy symptoms of complications. VP1 genes and 2A genes of 10 EV71 isolated strains including 5 light strains and 5 heavy strains were sequenced and compared with that of previously isolated 5 EV71 Chinese isolates available from GenBank (fuyangEU703814.1, xi_anHM003207. 1, shandongEU753418.1, shenzhenFJ607337.1, henanGU366191. 1) by homogeneity and phylogenetic tree analyses. The homogeneity of VP1 and 2A genes of the 10 EV71 isolated strains and 5 previously isolated strains were between 94.7% -99.4% and 93.6% -99.3% respectively, with the representative isolates of A and B genotypes was between 81.0%-84. 6% and 78. 4%-82. 2% respectively. The data suggested that all of the 10 Chinese isolates belong to EV71 genotype C. There were only 87.8% -90.2% homology among these 10 strains and the representative strains of C1, C2, C3 sub-genotypes of EV71 but 96. 8% -99.6% homology among these 10 strains and the representative strains of C4 sub-genotypes of EV71, this suggested that these 10 Chinese isolates composed the C4 sub-genotype, of the C genotype, that formed a single branch in the phylogenetic tree. Conclusion EV71 of sub-genotype C4 distributed in Mainland China, and VP1 genes have close genetic relationship between isolated strains. There is no obvious difference in 2A genes between clinical specimens of patients with light or heavy symptoms by homogeneity and phylogenetic tree analyses.
