X-linked juvenile retinoschisis (XLRS) is a major cause of macular degeneration in young men. In this study we analyzed all six exons of the XLRS1 gene in four sporadic XLRS patients and in an affected family in China who were recently diagnosed. We found there are five different mutations with four containing missense point mutations and one having a frame-shift deletion. Among these mutations both c.644A>T and c.520delC are novel and have not been previously reported. Moreover all the second-generation offsprings and most of the third-generation ones in the affected family were found to carry the mutations bearing X chromosome. The discovery of novel mutations in the XLRS1 gene would increase the available information about the spectrum of genetic abnormalities causing XLRS. Although the limited data failed to reveal a correlation between mutations and disease phenotypes our identification of novel mutations in the XLRS1 gene will facilitate early and correct diagnosis and genetic counseling regarding the prognosis of XLRS disease.

D016133 Polymerase Chain Reaction In vitro method for producing large amounts of specific DNA or RNA fragments of defined length and sequence from small amounts of short oligonucleotide flanking sequences (primers). The essential steps include thermal denaturation of the double-stranded target molecules, annealing of the primers to their complementary sequences, and extension of the annealed primers by enzymatic synthesis with DNA polymerase. The reaction is efficient, specific, and extremely sensitive. Uses for the reaction include disease diagnosis, detection of difficult-to-isolate pathogens, mutation analysis, genetic testing, DNA sequencing, and analyzing evolutionary relationships.

D016368 Frameshift Mutation A type of mutation in which a number of NUCLEOTIDES deleted from or inserted into a protein coding sequence is not divisible by three, thereby causing an alteration in the READING FRAMES of the entire coding sequence downstream of the mutation. These mutations may be induced by certain types of MUTAGENS or may occur spontaneously.
