摘要
Background and objectives: Analbuminemia is a very rare autosomal recessive disorder. It is an allelic heterogeneous defect caused by a variety of mutations within the albumin gene. We describe in this report two new cases of analbuminemia in Libyans. Design and methods: The 14 coding exons of the human serum albumin (HSA) gene and their intron-exon junctions were PCR amplified. The products were screened for mutations by Denaturing High Performance Liquid Chromatography (DHPLC). Samples with altered DHPLC profiles were sequenced. Results: DNA sequencing revealed the presence of a novol homozygous G -> T transition in the first base of intron 11 (c.1428 + 1G>T), in both children. This mutation destroys the GT consensus donor sequence found at the 5' end of most intervening sequences and would cause the defective pre-mRNA splicing. Conclusion: Molecular diagnosis based on DHPLC and DNA sequencing represents a powerful tool to study molecular defects causing analbuminemia. (C) 2012 The Canadian Society of Clinical Chemists.
