摘要
目的探讨一个多指(趾)畸形家系潜在的致病基因及机制。方法收集多指(趾)家系5代11人的临床资料及外周血,全外显子测序,Sanger测序进行验证,确定突变位点。构建重组质粒,在293T细胞中进行外源表达,进行免疫印迹实验和免疫共沉淀实验确定突变蛋白分子量及融合抑制因子(suppressor of fused,SUFU)相互作用情况。结果先证者及其外曾外祖母、外祖母、母亲、舅舅均存在NM_000168.6(GLI3):[c.2880del,p.(Asp962MetfsTer41)]移码突变,正常成员未见异常。其表达一个分子量约为130 kDa截短的突变体,与SUFU的相互作用显著降低,音速刺猬(sonic hedgehog signaling,SHH)信号通路激活强度受限。根据美国医学遗传学和与基因组学学会遗传变异分类标准与指南评级为致病变异。结论GLI3:c.2880del突变是家系中多指(趾)的致病因,GLI3基因突变谱进一步丰富。
Objective To explore the potential pathogenic genes and mechanisms of a family of polydactyly.Methods Clinical data and peripheral blood samples of 11 polydactyly families from 5 generations were collected and pathogenic variants identified by whole exome sequencing and verified by Sanger sequencing.The recombinant plasmid was constructed and its exogenous expression examined by immunoblotting and immunoprecipitation in 293T cells.The molecular quality of mutant proteins and the interaction of SUFU were analyzed.Results The results of phenotypic and genetic sequencing showed that there were five patients including proband and his great-grandmother,grandmother,mother and uncle,with frame-shift mutation c.2880del[p.(Asp962Metfs41Ter)]in GLI3 gene.The same variant was not detected in family members with normal phenotypes.According to the ACMG guidelines,this variant was classified as pathogenic.It decoded a truncated mutant with a molecular weight of about 130 kDa and its interaction with SUFU declined markedly with limited activation intensity of the Sonic Hedgehog signaling pathway.Conclusions As the causative factor of polydactyly in this family,GLI3:c.2880del further enriches the mutation spectrum of GLI3 gene and provides new insights of the SHH pathway and molecular mechanisms related to polydactyly.
