We previously described a case of familial hyperproinsulinemia, the fifth to be reported. In the present study we characterized the genetic defect carried by this family and demonstrated that it could be detected by polymerase chain reaction-single stranded conformational polymorphism. Since the serum proinsulin molecule from the propositus, a 63-yr-old Japanese man, was eluted on the same fraction of human proinsulin intermediate cleaved only at the B-C junction, we sequenced exon 3 of his insulin gene, including the C-A junction. A point mutation was discovered that changed codon 65 from arginine (CGT) to histidine (CAT) in one allele. This was the same point mutation as that described previously in three unrelated kindreds representing two races, consistent with the hypothesis that the dinucleotide sequence CpG may be a "hot spot" for mutations. Recently, developed polymerase chain reaction-single stranded conformational polymorphism proved useful in detecting this mutation in the family members. The daughter of the propositus and one of his two grandsons were also demonstrated to be heterozygous for this point mutation by this method.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

D011110 Polymorphism, Genetic The regular and simultaneous occurrence in a single interbreeding population of two or more discontinuous genotypes. The concept includes differences in genotypes ranging in size from a single nucleotide site (POLYMORPHISM, SINGLE NUCLEOTIDE) to large nucleotide sequences visible at a chromosomal level.

D011384 Proinsulin A pancreatic polypeptide of about 110 amino acids, depending on the species, that is the precursor of insulin. Proinsulin, produced by the PANCREATIC BETA CELLS, is comprised sequentially of the N-terminal B-chain, the proteolytically removable connecting C-peptide, and the C-terminal A-chain. It also contains three disulfide bonds, two between A-chain and B-chain. After cleavage at two locations, insulin and C-peptide are the secreted products. Intact proinsulin with low bioactivity also is secreted in small amounts.

D004586 Electrophoresis An electrochemical process in which macromolecules or colloidal particles with a net electric charge migrate in a solution under the influence of an electric current. Electrophoreses
