Objective:To define more information for familial hematuria by genetic screening in a pedigree with familial hematuria.Methods:This was a 4 generation pedigree included 20 family members. The clinical data and laboratory manifestations of the family members were reviewed and collected from medical records. Meanwhile, the peripheral blood samples of 11 family members of the pedigree were collected, and then DNA samples were extracted by salting out method for genetic analysis. For genetic analysis, firstly, three family members including the proband were selected for whole exome sequencing, and the genetic variations were screened according to the sequence variation interpretation guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) for diagnostic sequence interpretation. Then PCR and Sanger sequencing were used to verify the identified pathogenic variants in all family members in the pedigree.Results:In the pedigree, 6 female members had persistent hematuria. Among them, 2 died due to end-stage renal disease, 2 died due to non-renal diseases, and 2 maintained stable renal function. One of the two members with stable renal function was diagnosed as IgA nephropathy by renal biopsy. Moreover, diffuse basement membrane lesions were identified in her renal biopsy sample after the electron microscope examination, which resulted in the suspected diagnosis of Alport syndrome. Genetic testing in this pedigree revealed two novel mutations in COL4A4 gene (NM_000092), c.G446T:p.G149V in exon 7 and c.G1249A:p.G417R in exon 20. Conclusion:Two novel mutations of COL4A4 gene (c.G446T:p.G149V in exon 7 and c.G1249A:p.G417R in exon 20) in a hematuria pedigree are related with phenotype of familial hematuria.

To investigate the reliability and feasibility of human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA test in cervical scraping smears with polymerase chain reaction (PCR), 131 cases of cervical scraping specimens were collected, and the positive rates and accuracy of HPV infection were determined in normal subjects and cervical cancer patients. GP5+/GP6+ and E7 primer pairs designed for detecting HPV L1 and HPV type 16 E7 were tested in this study. Our results showed that positive rates of HPV DNA in normal population and cervical cancer patients were 32.99 % and 73.53 % respectively and there was significant difference between them (P<0. 001). In normal subjects, detection rates of HPV DNA with GP5+/GP6+ and E7 primer pairs were 27.84 % and 16.49 % respectively, with statistically significant difference between them (P>0.05). However the detection rates in cervical cancer patients were 38.24 % and 67.65 % for the two markers, with a significant difference found between them (P<0.05). It is concluded that HPV DNA test with PCR for cervical scraping smears was feasible. GP5+/GP6+ primer pairs may be a useful probe to screen HPV infection in normal population, but they are not sensitive enough in cervical cancer patients. It is suggested that high risk type HPV DNA test was very useful in population with high risk of cervical cancer.
