まとめ
次世代シーケンシングは、治療可能な代謝性疾患であるフルクトース-1,6-ビスホスファターゼ欠損症(FBP1欠損症)の迅速な診断を可能にします。このゲノムアプローチによる早期発見は、重篤な神経学的後遺症を防ぎ、患者の予後を著しく改善します。
科学分野:
- 遺伝学
- 代謝性疾患
- ゲノム技術
背景:
- 先天性代謝異常症は、新生児スクリーニングおよびゲノム技術の進歩により、ますます検出されるようになっています。
- フルクトース-1,6-ビスホスファターゼ欠損症(FBP1欠損症)は、過小診断されがちな、治療可能で予後良好な常染色体劣性疾患です。
- FBP1欠損症の診断遅延は、特に近親婚の多い集団において、非特異的な症状のために一般的です。
研究 の 目的:
- FBP1欠損症の第一選択としての次世代シーケンシング(NGS)の診断的有用性を調査すること。
- 新規FBP1欠損症例の診断経路と転帰を探求すること。
- 遺伝子変異および創始者変異の特定におけるNGSの有効性を強調すること。
主な方法:
- 3例の新規FBP1欠損症例の診断に第一選択として全エクソームシーケンシングを利用しました。
- 三次医療現場における診断経路と臨床転帰を分析しました。
- FBP1遺伝子の遺伝子欠失およびフレームシフト変異を含む、分子プロファイルを特徴づけました。
主要な成果:
- 2人の患者は全エクソームシーケンシングにより迅速に診断され、6年後には良好な転帰を示しました。
- 1人の患者は診断が遅れ、その後の神経学的後遺症を経験しました。
- 2人の患者ではFBP1遺伝子のエクソン2欠失(創始者変異)を同定し、3人目の患者ではフレームシフト変異を同定しました。
結論:
- 第一選択のNGSは、FBP1欠損症の早期診断と管理のための迅速かつ非侵襲的な方法です。
- NGSは、大規模な欠失や創始者変異を含む、様々な疾患原因変異を効果的に検出します。
- NGSを用いたゲノムプロファイリングは、特に罹患率の高い集団におけるFBP1欠損症の管理に不可欠です。

The first human genome sequencing project cost $2.7 billion and was declared complete in 2003, after 15 years of international cooperation and collaboration between several research teams and funding agencies. Today, with the advent of next-generation sequencing technologies, the cost and time of sequencing a human genome have dropped over 100 fold.

Cis-regulatory Sequences
11.7K
Cis-regulatory sequences are short fragments of non-coding DNA that are present on the same chromosomes as the genes that they regulate. These fragments serve as binding sites for transcriptional regulators, proteins that are responsible for controlling gene transcription and differential gene expression across cell types in eukaryotes. Cis-regulatory sequences can be close to the gene of interest or thousands of bases away in the DNA sequence; however, those sequences that are further away are...

Energy-requiring Steps of Glycolysis
171.5K
Glucose is the source of nearly all energy used by organisms. The first step of converting glucose into usable energy is called glycolysis. Glycolysis occurs in the cytosol of the cell over two phases: an energy-requiring phase and an energy-releasing phase. Over the first three steps, glucose is converted into different forms and attached to two phosphate groups donated by two ATP molecules, resulting in an unstable sugar. In the next two stages, the unstable sugar splits into two sugar...

Sanger Sequencing

DNA sequencing is a fundamental technique that is routinely used in the biological sciences. This method can be applied to a range of questions at different scales - from the sequencing of a cloned DNA fragment or the study of a mutation in a gene up to whole-genome sequencing. However, despite the widespread use of sequencing today, it was not until 1977 that Fredrick Sanger and his collaborators developed the chain-termination method to decode DNA sequences. It relies on the separation of a...

Diagnosing and managing appendicitis requires a structured and comprehensive approach that spans from initial assessment to postoperative care. Here is an overview of the process:
Diagnosing Appendicitis
It requires a multifaceted approach, starting with a detailed physical examination to pinpoint the location and nature of the pain and identify any associated symptoms. Laboratory tests play a crucial role. A complete Blood Count (CBC) typically reveals leukocytosis (an increased number of...

Maxam-Gilbert Sequencing
12.8K
In the same year as the discovery of the Sanger sequencing method, another group of scientists, Allan Maxam and Walter Gilbert, demonstrated their chemical-cleavage method for DNA sequencing. The Maxam-Gilbert method relies on using different chemicals that can cleave the DNA sequence at specific sites, the separation of resulting DNA fragments of variable size using electrophoresis, and deciphering the DNA sequence from the resulting gel bands.
