  • Analysis of the mutations of rhodopsin gene in autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa family

    Objective To detect and analyse the mutations in rhodopsin gene of members in a family affected by autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (ADRP). Methods Using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), we amplified exon 1-5 of rhodopsin gene in patients with ADRP,and analyzed it with direct sequence measuement. Results The Gly-182-Asp mutation in the rhodopsin gene was detected in most of affected members of this ADRP family, but no mutation was detected in two affected members and the control ones. Conclusion We cannot regard the Gly-182-Asp mutation in the rhodopsin gene as the pathagenic factor of the ADRP family. It is likely there is a new gene next to the rhodopsin gene.

  • Distribution Characteristics and Analysis of Genotype Drug Resistance of Drug-resistant Gene Mutations in Mycobacterium Tuberculosis in Deyang District, Sichuan

    ObjectiveTo explore distribution characteristics of drug-resistant mutations and analyze drug-resistant genotypes in Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Deyang district, Sichuan. MethodsA total of 257 patients infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis and positive for mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA who were detected from February 2010 to March 2013 were included in our research. Drug-resistance mutations were detected and analyzed using gene chip technology combining by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and reverse dot hybridization (RDB). ResultsIn these 257 pulmonary tuberculosis patients, drug-resistance mutations were detected in 49 with pulmonary tuberculosis. Drug-resistance mutation rate at katG 315, rpsL 43, embB 306 and rpoB 531 (S531L) was 11.67% (30/257), 7.00% (18/257), 4.28% (11/257) and 3.89% (10/257), respectively. In 234 initially treated pulmonary tuberculosis patients, the rate of isoniazid-resistant genotype, rifampicin-resistant genotype, ethambutol-resistant genotype, streptomycin-resistant genotype and multi-drug resistant genotype was 9.83%, 4.27%, 3.42%, 5.13% and 2.99%, respectively. In 23 retreated pulmonary tuberculosis patients, these rates was 52.17%, 26.09%, 13.04%, 43.48% and 13.04%, respectively. ConclusionIn Deyang district, Sichuan, drug-resistant genotypes for isoniazid, rifampicin, ethambutol and streptomycin are detected in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Most of the drug-resistant mutations occur at katG 315, rpsL 43, embB 306 and rpoB 531. The rates of drug-resistant genotypes and multi-drug resistance in initially treated pulmonary tuberculosis patients are lower than those in retreated patients. Multi-drug resistant rate is relatively low in our research.
