  • Title: [WASP gene mutation analysis of a family of X-linked thrombocytopenia].
    Author: Shi RM, Liu ZG, Yang YH.
    Journal: Zhongguo Dang Dai Er Ke Za Zhi; 2010 Oct; 12(10):784-7. PubMed ID: 20959042.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: This study investigated the history and gene mutations of a family with X-linked thrombocytopenia, in order to understand the clinical characteristic and molecular pathogenesis of the disease. METHODS: A three-generation X-linked thrombocytopenia family with 13 family members was investigated using PCR-DNA direct sequencing method to screen the exons of WASP gene for mutation analysis. RESULTS: The WASP gene sequencing of the proband revealed a missense mutation in exon 2 (G291A), resulting in a change of amino acid 86 from arginine to histidine. The patient's mother was the carrier of the heterozygosis mutation in X-chromosome. CONCLUSIONS: WASP mutations may be attributed to the molecular mechanism of X-linked thrombocytopenia. G291A is one of the mutations of WASP.
