摘要
目的探讨多重连接依赖性探针扩增（multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification，MLPA）技术在脊髓性肌萎缩症（spinal muscular atrophy，SMA）基因诊断及产前诊断中的应用。方法选择来自8个SMA家系的患者4例，父母16例，胎儿4例，应用MLPA技术进行分析，对患者同时应用聚合酶链反应一限制性片段长度多态性（polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism，PCR—RFLP）方法进行分析。结果对患者的检测，MLPA分析结果与PCR-RFLP检测结果相符，4例患者的运动神经元存活基因（survival motor neuron gene，SMN）1的第7和第8外显子均为纯合缺失。除家系1、4母亲的SMN1基因MLPA检测结果与其他家系不同外，其余各家系14名父母均明确诊断为SMN1基因杂合缺失突变携带者。结论MLPA技术是一种准确可靠的基因定量分析方法，适合于SMA患者、携带者的基因诊断及产前诊断。
Objective To study the application of the multiplex ligation dependent probe amplification （MLPA） method in genetic and prenatal diagnosis for spinal muscular atrophy （SMA）. Methods Four patients, 16 parents and 4 fetuses from 8 SMA pedigrees were included. MLPA was performed for molecular analysis, and polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism （PCR-RFLP） was used for the mutation detection of the 4 patients. Results For all the four patients, the same homozygous deletion of the exons 7 and 8 of the survival motor neuron 1 （SMN1）gene, was detected by PCR-RFLP and MLPA. All fourteen parents from the 8 pedigrees were carriers of the SMN1 gene heterozygous deletion, except the mothers in pedigrees 1 and 4 in whom the mutations were different. Conclusion MLPA is a simple and efficient quantitative method for copy number analysis of the SMN genes. It can be used for the genetic diagnosis and prenatal diagnosis of the SMA patients and carriers.
