摘要
【目的】分析中山市户籍人群中α-地中海贫血的分子流行病学特征,为有效预防提供参考依据。【方法】以分层抽样采集2500例中山市户籍新生儿脐血,用HPCE测定HbBart's作为诊断α-地贫的阳性参考指标,对阳性样品用gap-PCR和RDB法进行α-地贫基因分型,并在所有被检样品中进行两种常见静止型α-地贫基因(-α3.7/和-α4.2/)的分子筛查。对未知突变进行PCR产物直接测序法、MLPA及家系表型分析等。【结果】在2500例脐带血样本中,经基因检测,255例被确诊为α-地贫基因型(含258个突变等位基因)。检出HbBart's阳性样品183例,有83例α3.7/αα、α4.2/αα和2例-SEA/αα基因携带者检出自HbBart's阴性样品中。中山市户籍人群中α-地贫基因携带率为10.32%(258/2500);4种已知α-地贫基因的构成比依次为54.65%(-SEA/)、33.33%(α3.7/)、11.24%(α4.2/)和0.78%(αCSα/)。【结论】中山市户籍人群中α-地贫基因携带率高,检出4种基因突变类型(-SEA/、-α3.7/、-α4.2/和αCSα/),以-SEA/为主,开展α-地贫的预防工作具有重要意义。
[Objective] To investigate the carrier rate and mutation spectrum of α-thalassemias in population at Zhongshan city. and provide evidences for effective prevention. [Methods] Stratified sampling was used. 2 500 umbilical cord blood samples from neonates were collected in Zhongshan city for molecular epidemiology survey of α-thalassemia. The high performance capillary electrophoresis(HPCE) were carried out on all of the samples. The Hb Bart's〉0 was considered as α-thalassemia positive. Gene analysis were performed to accurately diagnosis the phenotypie positive samples by using the Gap-PCR and RDB method. In addition, the -α3.7/and-α4.2 /alleles, were defined in all umbilical cord blood samples for diagnosis of α-thalassemia silent carrier. Those unknown samples were characterized by DNA sequence analysis, multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) and family analysis. [Results] 183 subjects with Hb Bart's positive were tested from the 2 500 umbilical cord blood samples. By gene analysis, the α-thalassemia genotypes of 255 individuals (258 mutation alleles) were identified. It was noticeable that 83 carriers of -α3.7/αα or -α4.2/αα and 2 carriers of SEA /αα were detected from Hb Barfs negative samples. The α-thalassemia carrier rate of population in Zhongshan city was 10.320/ (258/2 500) . The constituent ratios of four types of α-thalassemia mutation were 54.65% (-SEA/), 33. 33% (α3.7 /), 11. 24% (α4.2/) and 0.78% (αCSα/). [Conclusions] The carrier frequency of α-thalassemias in population at Zhongshan city is high. Four types of α-thalassemia mutation(-SEA/、-α3.7/、-α3.7/、-α4.2nd αCSα/)are found. The constituent ratio of SEA/ is the highest. It should be useful for controlling thalassemias at Zhongshan city.
