Uridine diphosphate (UDP)-GalNAc : polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransfemse (ppGalNAcT) catalyzes the initial step in mucin type O-glycosylation in the Golgi apparatus. Here generation and characterization of a polyclonal antibody to human ppGalNAcT2 were described. The subcellular location of ppGalNAeT2 in SGC7901 cell line was investigated using Western blot analysis of fractionated cell extracts and confocal microscopy with this antibody and two Golgi markers: Golgi SNARE (soluble N-ethylmalemide-sensifive factor attachment protein receptor) of 28 ku (GS28) and trans-Golgi network (TGN) 38, markers for the c/s- and trans-Golgi apparatus, respectively. Morphometric analyses indicated that ～60% of the ppGalNAcT2 signal colocalized with the GS28, while～36% of the c/s-Golgi marker colocalized with the ppGalNAeT2. Approximately 34% of the ppGalNAcT2 signal colocalized with the TGN38, whereas 38% of the trans-Golgi marker colocalized with the ppGalNAcT2. The results provide unequivocal evidence for the location ofppGalNAcT2 within the Golgi apparatus, and further highlight the importance of this organelle in the initiation of O-linked glycosylation.

OBJECTIVETo determine the nature of genomic copy number variations (CNVs) in two fetuses with congenital heart defects (CHD) and explore the correlation between 3q microdeletions and CHD.
METHODSGenomic DNA was extracted from fetal umbilical cord tissue, and chromosome copy number variations were detected by low coverage whole genome sequencing.
RESULTSBoth fetuses had microdeletions of the long arm of chromosome 3. Fetus 1 had ventricular septal defect, cleft lip and palate, and a 1.66 Mb deletion on 3q29. The deleted region encompassed all of the critical genes for 3q29 microdeletion syndrome. Fetus 2 had overriding aorta, ventricular septal defect, and a novel 240 kb deletion on 3q28.
CONCLUSION3q29 microdeletion may result in CHD in combination with cleft lip and palate. Genomic CNVs can be detected by low coverage whole genome sequencing.
