| 4 | 单纯性大疱性表皮松解症:KRT5和KRT14基因的复发突变和新突变、表型/基因型的相关性以及对遗传咨询和产前诊断的意义显示文摘Epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS) is a mechano-bullous disorder characterized by intraepidermal blistering within the basal keratinocytes as a result of trauma to the skin. As part of the DNA diagnostics program, our laboratory has analyzed a cohort of 57 patients with the initial referral diagnosis of EBS. Among these patients, 18 were found to harbor heterozygous mutations in the keratin 5 or keratin 14 genes, KRT5 and KRT14, respectively, whereas in 14 cases, the disease was associated with mutations in both alleles of the plectin gene. Among the keratin mutations, 12 were distinct and six were novel, and in most cases there was no family history of a blistering disease. Prenatal diagnosis of eight pregnancies with keratin gene mutations, at risk for EBS either because one of the parents was affected (three cases) or history of a previously affected child as a result of a de novo mutation (five cases), predicted two fetuses being affected and six being normal. No recurrence of the de novo mutations in these pregnancies was disclosed. Collectively, the data suggest that a significant number of cases diagnosed as EBS are due to plectin mutations, and many cases result from de novo mutations in KRT5 and KRT14 genes. These findings have implications for genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis for EBS. | Pfendner E.G. Sadowski S.G. Uitto J. 李翠华 | 2006 | 世界核心医学期刊文摘(皮肤病学分册)2006，2，3： | 1 |
