摘要
利用2.2kb人载脂蛋白AI基因探针,检测57例高脂血症患儿及38例正常血脂儿童的载脂蛋白(apo)AI-CIII基因区限制性片段长度多态性。发现中国上海汉族儿童人群apoAI-CIII基因区存在Ss tI多态位点,其等位基因频率S_1为0.98,S_2为0.12,明显不同于其他种族。并发现该多态位点与高胆固醇血症、高甘油三酯血症、高胆固醇合并高甘油三酯血症,均无密切关系,不能作为该地区高脂血症患儿的遗传标记。
olymorphism identified by DNA restriction fragment lengh polymorphism in the apolipoprotein(apo) AI-CIII gene region was investigated in 57 children patients with hyperlipidemias and 38 normal Chinese children, using genomic DNA hybridization analysis with a 2.2kb full length of apoAI gene probe. A mutant polymorphic site(S_2) in the apoAI-CIII gene region was found in the children population of Shanghai city in China. The frequence of the S_2 allele was 0.12,much higher than that in Caucasians, but lower than that in Japanese. The results confirm the divergency of S_2 gene frequence in various racial groups.The authors also found the S_2 polymorphic sites are not associated with hyperlipidemias, and can not be used as a genetic marker in these populations.
