概括

大脑肌性桑托马托症 (CTX) 是一种可治疗的代谢障碍,是由CYP27A1变异引起的. 这项研究在阿什基纳兹犹太人中发现了显著的CTX引起变异,这表明需要扩大新生儿和携带者查.

科学领域:

医学遗传学医学遗传学
代谢障碍代谢障碍代谢障碍
人口遗传学人口遗传学

背景情况:

大脑肌性桑托马托症 (CTX) 是一种罕见的,由于CYP27A1基因变异引起的胆酸代谢遗传性疾病.
早期诊断和治疗对于管理CTX至关重要,但诊断延迟很常见,影响疗效.
在全球范围内发现了CTX,但在阿什基纳兹犹太人中以前没有报告过导致CTX的变体.

研究的目的:

调查阿什基纳兹犹太人口中CYP27A1变体的流行率和频谱.
为了确定CTX引起的等位基因是否存在,以及在这个人群中频率如何.
评估对犹太人口新生儿和携带者查计划的影响.

主要方法:

对犹太人的CTX病例报告及其CYP27A1变体的系统审查.
对相关遗传数据的以色列医学遗传学数据库的分析.
利用gnomAD (基因组聚合数据库) 来评估亚什肯纳兹犹太人中的等位基因频率.

主要成果:

在阿什基纳兹犹太人口中确定了三种致病性CYP27A1变体.
根据gnomAD数据,在阿什基纳兹犹太人中计算出CTX基因载体率为0.002.
在gnomAD.中发现了一种独特的阿什基纳兹犹太群体的病原性变异.

结论:

大脑肌性桑托马托斯发生在阿什基纳兹犹太人身上,这与之前的假设相反.
鉴定的载体频率值得考虑将CTX纳入新生儿和携带者查面板,无论是亚什肯纳兹犹太人还是塞法第犹太人.
早期查可以改善CTX患者的治疗结果.

X-linked Traits

X-linked Traits

In most mammalian species, females have two X sex chromosomes and males have an X and Y. As a result, mutations on the X chromosome in females may be masked by the presence of a normal allele on the second X. In contrast, a mutation on the X chromosome in males more often causes observable biological defects, as there is no normal X to compensate. Trait variations arising from mutations on the X chromosome are called “X-linked”.

Pedigree Analysis

Pedigree Analysis

X-Inactivation

X-Inactivation

The human X chromosome contains over ten times the number of genes as in the Y chromosome. Since males have only one X chromosome, and females have two, one might expect females to produce twice as many of the proteins, with undesirable results.

Sex-linked Disorders

Sex-linked Disorders

Like autosomes, sex chromosomes contain a variety of genes necessary for normal body function. When a mutation in one of these genes results in biological deficits, the disorder is considered sex-linked.

Pleiotropy

Pleiotropy

Pleiotropy is the phenomenon in which a single gene impacts multiple, seemingly unrelated phenotypic traits. For example, defects in the SOX10 gene cause Waardenburg Syndrome Type 4, or WS4, which can cause defects in pigmentation, hearing impairments, and an absence of intestinal contractions necessary for elimination. This diversity of phenotypes results from the expression pattern of SOX10 in early embryonic and fetal development. SOX10 is found in neural crest cells that form melanocytes,...
