Deletion Pattern

Background: Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), one of the most common X linked muscular disorder, affecting 1 in 3500 male births and is caused by mutation in dystrophin gene.  65% of DMD cases are caused by large deletion of dystrophin gene, followed by duplication (5-10%) or point mutation (25-30%). There is wide mutation spectrum of the mutations in dystrophin gene. Hence, population specific information is needed on mutation spectrum and frequency of common mutations occurring in that particular population for appropriate counseling, prenatal diagnosis and for developing genetic therapy in future. Aims and Objectives: To find out the frequency and distribution of deletion in dystrophin gene in DMD patients along with contribution of pathology and genetic testing in diagnosis of DMD and Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) in North Indian population.Materials and Methods: Dystrophin gene was screened for deletion by multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Out of 41 patients, 09 patients underwent muscle biopsy, on which immunohistochemistry was performed for dystrophin, sarcoglycan, dysferlin and merosin.Results: Majority of the deletions were located in distal hotspot region (26/39 ~66.66%) which includes the exons 45-55 and 15.38% of deletions were located at the proximal hotspot region (2- 19 exons).Conclusion: In the present study, 34% patients only showed deletion. Hence complete work up of any muscular dystrophy requires immnohistochemical analysis to see the expression of muscle proteins along with multipleplex PCR test to detect any exon deletion, multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) to detect point mutation and duplication and  western blotting to quantify the dystrophin protein.Asian Journal of Medical Sciences Vol.8(6) 2017 13-18

The use of cryo-techniques for the preparation of biological specimens in electron microscopy has led to superior preservation of ultrastructural detail. Although these techniques have obvious advantages, a critical limitation is that only 10-40 μm thick cells and tissue layers can be frozen without the formation of distorting ice crystals. However, thicker samples (600 μm) may be frozen well by rapid freezing under high-pressure (2,100 bar). To date, most work using cryo-techniques on fungi have been confined to examining small, thin-walled structures. High-pressure freezing and freeze substitution are used here to analysis pre-germination stages of specialized, sexual spores (teliospores) of the plant pathogenic fungus Gymnosporangium clavipes C & P.Dormant teliospores were incubated in drops of water at room temperature (25°C) to break dormancy and stimulate germination. Spores were collected at approximately 30 min intervals after hydration so that early cytological changes associated with spore germination could be monitored. Prior to high-pressure freezing, the samples were incubated for 5-10 min in a 20% dextran solution for added cryoprotection during freezing. Forty to 50 spores were placed in specimen cups and holders and immediately frozen at high pressure using the Balzers HPM 010 apparatus.

SummaryParis I dysfibrinogenemia results in the production of a fibrinogen molecule containing a functionally abnormal γ-chain. We determined the basis of the molecular defect using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify the γ-chain region of the Paris I subject’s genomic DNA. Comparative sequence analysis of cloned PCR segments of normal and Paris I genomic DNA revealed only an A→G point mutation occurring at nucleotide position 6588 within intron 8 of the Paris I γ-chain gene. We examined six normal individuals and found only normal sequence in this region, indicating that this change is not likely to represent a normal polymorphism. This nucleotide change leads to a 45 bp fragment being inserted between exons 8 and 9 in the mature γparis I chain mRNA, and encodes a 15 amino acid insert after γ350 [M-C-G-E-A-L-P-M-L-K-D-P-C-Y]. Alternative splicing of this region from intron 8 into the mature Paris I γ-chain mRNA also results after translation into a substitution of S for G at position γ351. Biochemical studies of 14C-iodoacetamide incorporation into disulfide-reduced Paris I and normal fibrinogen corroborated the molecular biologic predictions that two additional cysteine residues exist within the γpariS I chain. We conclude that the insertion of this amino acid sequence leads to a conformationallyaltered, and dysfunctional γ-chain in Paris I fibrinogen.
