摘要
目的:就Leber遗传性视神经病变(Leber′shereditaryopticneuropathy,LHON)进行了线粒体DNA的探讨。方法:应用聚酶链反应(polymerasechainreaction,PCR)方式对LHON一家系11人以及非LHON家系的对照者4人进行了线粒体DNA的分析。结果:LHON患者有限制性内切酶SfaNI酶切位点丧失,家系中女性是此病的遗传基因的携带者。结论:Leber遗传性视神经病变患者存在线粒体的点突变,造成限制性内切酶SfaNI酶切位点丧失,这一改变是本病的发病机制之一。
PURPOSE To investigate mitochondrial DNA(mtDNA) of Leber′s hereditary optic neuropathy(LHON).METHODS Polymerase chain reaction(PCR)method was used to analyse mtDNA of 11 patients in a pedigree with LHON and 4 control subjects from now LHON pedigree.RESULTS There was a loss of a restriction site for the restriction endonuclease SfaN I in the Patients with LHON.In this pedigree,maternal lineage was regarded a carrier of the pathogenic gene.CONCLUSIONS The patients with Leber′s hereditary optic neuropathy have a point mutation in mtDNA,which results in loss of SfaN I endonuclease restriction site,and this change is one of mechanisms inducing this disaese.
