Objective　To determine the karyotype of a case with a history of spontaneous abortion and terminal deletion by using of conventional G-banding method and search the cause of insertional translocation of chromosomal terminal region. Methods　Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) technique was performed to analyze the case by using whole chromosome 7 painting probe and subterminal probe of 7q36→qter which was generated by chromosome microdissection technique. Results　 The case was a carrier with a very rare insertional translocation involving chromosomes 1 and 7. The region of chromosome 7q36→qter was not inserted into chromosome 1. The abnormal chromosome was inherited from her mother. Conclusion　 The present authors provided an experiment evidence that in this case the chromosome insertional translocation including the terminal region was still a three breakage rearrangement and the terminal deletion found by cytogenetics should be an interstitial deletion. Combining with chromosome microdissection, FISH technique is a powerful diagnostic method for detecting the chromosome structural abnormality.

OBJECTIVETo discuss the genetic diagnosis of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) and investigate the resource of gene mutations in CAH.

METHODEnzymatic methods with restriction endonucleases that specifically recognized the mutation sites were used to detect the gene mutations in patients with CAH and their relatives. Polymerase chain reaction and direct sequencing were used to identify the mutations in 21-hydroxylase gene, and short tandem repeat (STR) typing was used to determine the sources of the mutations.

RESULTSOne CAH patient had two known mutations in 21-hydroxylase gene, namely the I2g and I172N mutations. The former mutation was inherited from the biological mother and the latter was not inherited.

CONCLUSIONThe 9 common mutations of CAH are also the hotspots for new mutations.

OBJECTIVETo study the clinical application of denature high performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC) technique on mutation screening and prenatal diagnosis for Wilson's disease (WD).

METHODSGenomic DNA of the probands with Wilson's disease and their parents from 6 families was subjected to polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the 21 exons and the 5' untranslated region of ATP7B gene. Mutation screening of the PCR products was performed by DHPLC. The abnormal peaks were confirmed by further sequencing analysis. Based on the successful gene diagnosis for the patients, prenatal diagnosis was performed in 4 families, including 1 twin and 3 singletons.

RESULTSFive disease-causing mutations and 8 polymorphisms were found in the 6 probands by DHPLC and sequencing. The parents were carriers with the same mutation as their affected children. Prenatal diagnosis showed that two pregnancies were abnormal, including a twin pregnancy with compound heterozygote for Arg778Leu and IVS4-1G>C mutation, and a single pregnancy with a compound heterozygote for Ser975Tyr and Pro992Leu mutations. These two pregnancies were terminated after genetic counseling. Another two pregnancies included a singleton carrier with Ser975Tyr mutation and a normal genotype fetus, respectively. These two pregnancies were continued and the babies were healthy.

CONCLUSIONDHPLC is a powerful tool in prenatal diagnosis as well as in postnatal diagnosis.
