摘要: 目的: 了解318例非综合征型聋人群缝隙连接蛋白B6(GJB6)基因突变的携带情况。方法: 利用PCR方法扩增318例非综合征型聋人群GJB6 基因编码区,用基因芯片与二代测序法对可能携带致病GJB6 突变家系全体成员进行118个已知的耳聋基因检测。结果: 绘制了318例中国汉族非综合征型聋人群的GJB6 基因突变频谱,发现1例同时携带GJB6 和 GJB2 基因缺失突变的中国汉族非综合征型聋家系,经临床和分子遗传学分析发现,该家系成员在发病年龄、听力曲线和听力损失程度上存在差异。突变分析显示,该家系成员同时携带了 GJB2 基因235 delC+/-突变和GJB6 基因228 delG+/-突变。其中,GJB6 基因228 del G缺失突变是未报道过的新的位点变异。该缺失位于GJB6 基因高度保守的编码区,在19个物种中的保守性指数达100%。结论: GJB6 基因228 del G缺失突变导致框架移码,转录时在第81位提前出现终止密码子,翻译的多肽比野生型蛋白少了181个氨基酸,可能是新的非综合征型聋相关的致病突变,但仍需进一步的功能研究验证。Abstract: Objective: To investigate the mutation characteristics of GJB6 (gap juction bata 6) gene in 318 Han Chinese pedigrees with non-syndromic hearing loss.Method: Polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the coding region of GJB6 gene in 318 Han Chinese pedigrees with non-syndromic hearing loss. Gene arrays and second generation sequencing were used to detect 118 genes which had reported to be accosiated with deafness in members of pedigree which possibly carried pathogenic GJB6 gene mutation.Result: Here, we have screened the mutations of GJB6 gene in 318 Han Chinese pedigrees with non-syndromic hearing loss and found one pedigree carrying both GJB6 and GJB2 gene deletion. Clinical and molecular genetic evaluation revealed the variable phenotype of hearing impairments including age-at-onset, audiometric configuration and severity in these subjects. Mutational analysis of the GJB2 and GJB6 gene coding region showed a heterozygous 235 del C of GJB2 gene and a novel 228 del G of GJB6 gene.Conclusion: GJB6 gene 228 del G variant, which occurs at a highly evolutionarily conserved nucleotide, forward the stop codon to 81 position and result in the corresponding polypeptide 181 amino acids shorter than wildtype polypeptide. In addition, GJB6 gene 228 del G absent varies among 94 unrelated Chinese controls. Our finding suggest that GJB6 gene 228 del G maybe a novel pathogenic mutation associated with non-syndromic hearing loss.
