用琼脂糖凝胶高压电泳及免疫固定技术对114例Graves病(简称GD)患者进行了Bf分型。比较病人组与326例对照组的Bf多态性分布,结果显示:病人组的BfFF别型和Bf~*F等位基因频率显著增高(x~2分别为22.193和27.432);BfSS和Bf~*S频率在病人组则显著降低(x~2分别为11.341和23.209)。关联分析表明BfFF和BfF与GD呈正相关(RR分别为6.97和2.79);BfSS和Bf~*S与GD呈负相关(RR分别为0.44和0.40)。这一结果与国内外已有的报道有所不同。提示可能存在的GD易感基因与BfF基因在不同人群有不同的连锁不平衡现象。     

TSH RECEPTOR GENETIC ALTERATIONS IN THE AUTONOMOUSLYFUNCTIONING THYROID ADENOMAS

Objective To determine the relationship between TSH receptor gene mutations and autonomously functioning thyroid adenomas (AY‘]rAs). Methods The thyroid samples from 14 cases of diagnosed AFTAs were analyzed, with normal thyroid specimens adjacent to the tumors as controls. The 155 base pairs DNA fragments which encompassed the third cytoplasmic loop and the sixth transmembrane segments in the TSH receptor gene exon 10 were amplified by Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and analyzed by the single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP). Direct sequencing of the PCR products was performed with Prism Dye Terminator Cycle Sequencing Core Kit.Results 6 of 14 AFTA specimens displayed abnormal migration in SSCP analysis. In sequence analysis of 3 abnormally migrated samples, one base substitution at nucleotide 1957 (A to C) and two same insertion mutations of one adenosine nucleotide between nucleotide 1972 and 1973 were identified. No mutations were found in controls. Conclusion This study confirmed the presence of TSH receptor gene mutations in AFTAs; both one-point substitution mutation and onebase insertion mutation were found to be responsible for the pathogenesis of AFTAs.

THE EFFECT OF FCγ RECEPTOR ON THE PATHOGENESIS OF GRAVES'' DISEASE

Objective To explore the roles of Fcγ receptor in the pathogenesis of Graves' disease. Methods Fcγ receptor gene knockout mice(Fcγ R KO mice) which were rooted in C57BL/6 mice and wild type C57BL/6 mice were immunized by hTSH receptor expressing cells (DAP3.WT).1-2×107 DAP3.WT cells were peritoneally injected into mice every two weeks for a total of six times.Two weeks after final immunization, mice were killed for measurement of total thyroxine,TRAb and pathological examination.Results The thyroxine level of the immunized Fcγ receptor gene knockout mice was significantly lower than that of the immunized wild type control mice (2.2±0.31 vs.3.32±0.59g·dL-1,P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between immunized Fcγ R KO mice and non-immunized wild type control group.The TRAb levels of the immunized Fγ R KO mice significantly increased compared to those of the immunized wild type mice (21.75±8.21 vs.14.11±6.21, P<0.05). The lymphocyte cells infiltration and destruction of thyroid follicles were found in the thyroid gland of the immunized Fcγ R KO mice. Conclusion　These results suggest that Fcγ receptor may be involved in the pathogenesis of Graves'disease.
