Abstract:
Objective To study the point mutation of FUT2 gene in Chinese Han population.Methods Using direct sequencing,molecular cloning techniques and the comparing with the gene sequence reportedby Kelly, the FUT2 gene structures of 41Chinese Han individuals have were studied.Results The G428A mutations of FUT2 gene was not found,but the A385T and C357T mutations were found in the 41 Chinese Han individuals.Among the 41 individuals,24 had A385T mutation and 17 had no A385T mutation.The neutral mutation C357T was found in all 41individuals.Conclusion The G428A point mutation of FUT2 which is commonly found in non secretor of Africans and Caucasian was not found in Chinese population.There are A385T and C357T point mutations which were found in 41 Chinese Han individuals.The present stady shows the difference between Chinese and Caucasian,and other non secretor mutations will be revealed by further investigation
