Objective To investigate the distributions of PAH gene mutation and provide guidance for gene diagnosis and prenatal diagnosis of patients with PKU in Xinjiang of China.Methods A total of 15 patients (aged from 2 to 10 years, all with blood Phe concentration over 700 μmol/L) who visited Urumqi general hospital of Lanzhou Command were clinically diagnosed as PKU and were included in this study. PCR followed by DNA sequencing was performed to analyze the promoters, all the 13 exons and their flanking introns of PAH gene in these 15 PKU patients.Results PAH gene of 15 PKU patients was amplified by PCR, and PCR products were subjected to DNA sequencing directly.Four PAH gene mutation types, including 5′- Flanking-626G > A, 5′-Flanking-480DelACT, S196fsX4 and IVS8+1G>C, were identified in each of four PKU patients.Consequently reverse DNA sequencing showed G>A at -626 site, ACT deletion at -480 position in the promoter of PAH gene, an insertion at 584 site in the coding region and G>C at the border between exon 8 and intron 8 of PAH gene, respectively. After inquirying from PAH website and international PAH database (www.pahdb.mcgill.ca), these four PAH gene mutation types were verified as novel PAH gene mutations. Additionally, four patients carrying either of these four PAH gene mutation aged 3-5 years old were characterized by typical clinical phenotypes including blood Phe levels between 1 572-1 782 μmol/L, mental retardation, yellow hair and mousy odor of hair, skin and urine. Conclusions 5′-Flanking-626G>A, 5′-Flanking-480DelACT, S196fsX4 and IVS8+1G > C are identified as four novel PAH gene mutations to cause PKU directly probably either by disrupting the normal 3-D structure and affecting enzymatic activity of PAH or depressing the transcription and translation of PAH gene.Together, our identification of four novel PAH gene mutations will provide important clues for future gene diagnosis and prenatal diagnosis of PKU.

BACKGROUND: Xinjiang is a multi-ethnic region with significant differences in local geographical position, economic development and climatic environment. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the occurrence and development tendency of birth defects, disease categories and disparity among different ethnic groups and regions in Xinjiang.METHODS: A stratified cluster random sampling observation was performed in 13 counties (cities) according to the status of ethnical distribution and local economics of Xinjiang. Quarter Report Sheet on Babies and The defect babies register card were filled as the scheme of Chinese birth defect monitoring, and ICD10 diagnostic code was adopted in birth defect diagnosis. The birth defects rate was calculated from January 2005 to December 2008, and the disease categories and disparity among different ethnic groups and regions in Xinjiang were analyzed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The average incidence rate of birth defect was 9.74‰, which was dramatically descended in 2006 and ascended afterward yearly. The incidence rate of countryside was higher than city, and male more than female. In geography, south of Tianshan Mountain was higher than north and east in birth defect incidence. Among major ethnic groups in Xinjiang, Sibe and Uygur had the highest birth defect incidence rate, followed by Man, Hazakh, and Han. The birth defect incidence of Han, Uygur and Hazakh people showed descend tendency, Hui, Mongolia, and Man people fluctuated, yet Sibe's rate had a change of rise and fall. The first five birth defect entities were neural tube deformity, cleft lips, anencephaly, congenital hydrocephalus and cleft palate combined with cleft lips. The birth defects rates are different from ethnic groups and regions in Xinjiang.
