In this previous study,87 patients had a chromosomal abnormality, five of whom expressed fragile sites on Xq27.3. Since FXS cannot always be identified by cytogenetic analysis, molecular testing of the fragile X mental retardation 1 CGG repeat was performed in 440 samples. The testing was also conducted in the five previously identified samples to confirm the abnormality. In total, a molecular study was conducted in 445 samples(162 females and 283 males).RESULTS: In the cohort of Indonesian ID population, the prevalence of FXS is 9/527(1.7%). The prevalence in males and females is 1.5%(5/329) and 2%(4/198), respectively. Segregation analysis in the families and X-inactivation studies were performed. We performed the first comprehensive genetic survey of a representative sample of male and female ID individuals from institutions and special schools in Indonesia. Our findings show that a comprehensive study of FXS can be performed in a developing country like Indonesia where diagnostic facilities are limited.CONCLUSION: The prevalence of FXS is equal in females and males in our study, which suggests that the prevalence of FXS in females could be underestimated.展开更多

文摘目的研究单核苷酸多态性(Single Nucleotide Polymorphism,SNP)微阵列和新一代基因捕获测序技术的联合应用对智力障碍或精神发育迟缓儿童的诊断价值。方法通过资料分析法选取2018年9月至2020年3月在南京医科大学附属儿童医院康复门诊接受治疗的智力障碍或精神发育迟缓儿童19名,年龄在6个月至14岁,男童11人和女童8人。分别采用发育诊断量表和韦氏儿童智力量表中国修订本(WISC-RC)对其进行智力评定,发育商低于49分或智商低于51分者纳入本次研究,进行全基因组拷贝数变异(Copy Number Variation,CNV)及致病基因变异分析,对检测的CNV采用定量PCR法进行先证者及父母验证,对明确或疑似致病性基因变异采用双脱氧法测序进行验证和家庭基因谱核查。结果研究表明19名入选者中有16名患儿的SNP微阵列分析结果为阴性,其中6例确认患有单一遗传疾病、7例阴性、3例存在可疑的基因病变(表现在11q24.1q25、21q22.2q22.3、12q22.1q23区域,其是诱发智力障碍和精神发育迟缓的主要病因)。结论SNP微阵列和新一代基因捕获测序技术的联合应用可显著提高不明原因的智力障碍或精神发育迟缓儿童的分子遗传病因诊断概率,通过寻根朔源方式也可为后续诊治方向提供可靠依据,具有重要的临床意义。
