摘要:

线粒体ND6基因(MT-ND6)上的m.14484T>C突变是Leber’s遗传性视神经病变(Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy, LHON)的一个原发性突变, 但该突变自身不足以产生视力损伤。为研究线粒体单体型对携带该突变人群LHON发病的影响, 文章对1 177例中国汉族LHON患者MT-ND6基因进行了全面系统的筛查, 共筛查到67例患者携带m.14484T>C同质性突变, 在该研究群体中所占比例为5.7%。携带m.14484T>C突变的51例家系LHON的外显率从5.6%~100.0%不等, 平均外显率为21.5%。对家系中51例先证者线粒体全基因组进行分析, 各表现为不同的多态性, 分别属于18个东亚线粒体单体型。其中单体型A和单体型F在病例组频率均明显低于106例对照组。另外, 单体型M10a在病例组中占9.8%, 在对照组中未被发现, 进一步发现该单体型家系LHON的平均外显率(46.13%)显著高于其他单体型家系的平均外显率, 提示线粒体单体型M10a可能增加视力损伤的风险。

Abstract:

The m.14484T>C mutation in mitochondrial ND6 gene (MT-ND6) is a primary mutation underlying the development of Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) , but by itself not enough to cause visual loss. To explore the role of mitochondrial haplogroups on the expression of LHON for the people carrying the m.14484T>C mutation, we performed systematic and extended mutational screening of MT-ND6 gene in a cohort of 1177 Han Chinese patients with LHON. A total of 67 affected subjects carried the homoplasmic m.14484T>C mutation, accounting for 5.7% of this LHON population. The penetrances of optic neuropathy among 51 pedigrees carrying the m.14484T>C mutation ranged from 5.6% to 100.0%, with the average of 21.5%. The sequence analysis of entire mitochondrial genomes of 51 probands exhibited distinct sets of polymorphisms belonging to 18 Eastern Asian haplogroups. The frequencies of haplogroup A and haplogroup F were sig-nificantly less in the LHON mtDNA samples than those in 106 Chinese controls. On the other hand, the haplogroup M10a accounted for 9.8% of the patient’s mtDNA samples but was absent in 106 Chinese controls. Strikingly, the average pene-trance (46.13%) of optic neuropathy for the pedigrees carrying mitochondrial haplogroup M10a was higher than those car-rying other mtDNA haplogroups. These observations indicated that mitochondrial haplogroup M10a may increase the risk of visual loss.
