Abstract:
Objective To identify the mutation of trafficking protein particle complex 2 (TRAPPC2) gene in a large Chinese pedigree with X-linked spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia tarda by the PCR-based capillary electrophoresis methods.Methods The blood samples were collected from a large Chinese pedigree of three generations with six affected persons with X-SEDT.Four exons comprising the TRAPPC2 gene open reading frame as well as their exor/intron boundaries were analyzed by argrose electrophoresis and bidirectional direct sequencing of PCR products.Fluorescence labeled fragment analysis was performed by capillary electrophoresis.Results A 5-bp deletion mutation of TRAPPC2 gene in exon 5,c.262_266delGACAT (D88del; I89fX12),was identified in the proband and his unaffected mother(a heterozygote) in the Chinese family with X-SEDT,but no other sequence change occurring in exons 3,4 and 6 was detected.The old sister of proband was determined being carriers because she carries the deletion fragment allele of exon 5 PCR product and the young sister being normal individuals because she carries the wild allele of TRAPPC2 gene.Conclusions The mutation c.262_266delGACAT (D88del; I89fX12) of TRAPPC2 gene was firstly reported in Chinese people.The mutation of c.262_266delGACAT (D88del; I89fX12) in TRAPPC2 gene may be the pathologic cause of the patients in the X-SEDT pedigree.Fragment analysis combined with DNA sequencing by capillary electrophoresis method is effective laboratory test in the small deletion mutation analysis and carriers screening in X-SEDT family.
