项目摘要

Oculocutaneous albinism, giant inclusion bodies in many cell types, and immunodeficiency characterize Chediak-Higashi syndrome (CHS). Previously, others and we have mapped and cloned the gene for human CHS.In this study, we aimed to clone the whole gene and characterize the intron-exon organization of the gene and mutation analysis of the disorder.By marathon cDNA amplification method, we succeeded in cloning the whole gene for CHS.The gene is now fragmented in three parts, about 3kb, 4kb, and 5kb in length and cloned in TA cloning plasmids. These fragments will be cut with enzyme and ligated each other to form one-full-length cDNA.Currently, we are working in that process. We were able to find a BAG clone containing the gene, and we direct-sequence the clone by large-scale preparation of the BAG clone. The gene turned out to be composed of 49 exons. We designed oligonucleotides for amplifying each exon. Mutation analysis of a patient with CHS, which I previously reported in the Journal of Dermatology in 1993, was performed by PCR-SSCP and direct sequencing. We found a 4 bp-deletion encompassing codon 3464-3465, which results in frameshift. Being inbred, the patient was homozygous for that mutation and the parents were heterozygous for that mutation.Thus we were able to clone the whole coding region of the gene for CHS.We are going to sub-clone the gene to mammalian expression vector and functional analysis of the gene. I believe that this study will be a critical step for the future gene therapy of this fatal disorder.

眼皮白化病，许多细胞类型中的巨型包容体，免疫缺陷是Chediak-Higashi综合征（CHS）的特征。 Previously, others and we have mapped and cloned the gene for human CHS.In this study, we aimed to clone the whole gene and characterize the intron-exon organization of the gene and mutation analysis of the disorder.By marathon cDNA amplification method, we succeeded in cloning the whole gene for CHS.The gene is now fragmented in three parts, about 3kb, 4kb, and 5kb in length and cloned in TA cloning质粒。这些片段将用酶切割，并互相结扎以形成一饱长的cDNA。目前，我们正在该过程中工作。我们能够找到一个包含该基因的袋子克隆，并通过大规模准备袋子克隆来指导克隆。原来该基因由49个外显子组成。我们设计了用于扩增每个外显子的寡核苷酸。我先前在1993年的皮肤病学杂志上报告的CHS患者的突变分析是通过PCR-SSCP和直接测序进行的。我们发现了一个4 bp-demotion包含密码子3464-3465，这导致了移交。该突变的患者近亲是纯合的，并且父母对该突变是杂合的。我认为，这项研究将是这种致命疾病的未来基因疗法的关键步骤。
