摘要
目的:探讨强直性肌营养不良(DM)患者及家系成员三核苷酸重复数CTG(胞嘧啶、胸腺嘧啶、鸟嘌呤)的变化与EMG、NCV的关系。方法:用聚合酶链反应(PCR)扩增及DNA杂交法对5例临床诊断DM患者及三个家系的16名成员进行DM基因的CTG重复数和EMG、NCV测定。结果:10名正常人CTG重复数是30个,EMG、NCV正常,5例DM病人CTG重复数均在85个以上,其中2例在1605个以上,明显高于正常,16名家系成员中除4名正常,余12例CTG重复数均超过正常基因,而且,CTG重复数与临床症状、EMG、NCV轻重有关。结论:DM基因诊断与其临床诊断、EMG。
Objectives:To study the relationship between the changes in cytosine, thymine, guanine (CTG) repeat numbers and EMG, NCV in patients with myotonic dystrophy (MD) and their family members.Methods:The repeat numbers of CTG, ENG and NCV of MD gene were determined by PCR amplification and DNA hybridization in 5 cases of MD (clinically diagnosed) and 16 members from there families (three families).Results:In 10 normal subjects the repeat numbers of CTG were 30, and EMG and NCV were normal. The numbers of CTG in five patients were more than 85, two of them were over 1605,significantly higher than those in normal subjects. It was noted that the repeat numbers were related to EMG and NCV.Conclusions:The gene diagnosis of MD was found to be consistent with its clinical diagnosis, changes of EMG and NCV.
