[Mutation detection in SH3BP2 gene in a cherubism family]
Abstract
Objective: To detect SH3BP2 gene mutation in a cherubism family.
Methods: Peripheral blood samples were obtained from the family of cherubism. Genomic DNA was extracted. Polymerase chain reaction and direct sequencing were performed to identify the mutation.
Results: A transition in exon 9 in SH3BP2 gene was detected in the family, which led to a missense mutation (Arg 415 Pro).
Conclusions: Missense mutation in the SH3BP2 gene was responsible for the phenotypes of this Chinese cherubism family.
