        Molecular Analysis of Mitochondrial DNA Point Mutations by Polymerase Chain Reaction

        互联网

        Mitochondrial respiratory chain disorders are clinically and genetically heterogeneous. There are several mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) point mutations responsible for common mitochondrial diseases such as mitochondrial encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, stroke-like events, myoclonic epilepsy and ragged red fibers, neuropathy, ataxia, retinitis pigmentosa, and Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy. As a result of the clinical overlap, it is usually necessary to analyze more than one mutation for a patient suspected of a mitochondrial disorder. Molecular diagnosis is often performed using polymerase chain reaction (PCR)/restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of the most likely point mutations. However, this method is time-consuming and often produces problems associated with incomplete restriction enzyme digestion. In addition, PCR/ RFLP analysis may not be able to detect a low percentage of heteroplasmy. For a more effective method of diagnosing mtDNA disorders, we have developed a multiplex PCR/ allele-specific oligonucleotide (ASO) dot blot hybridization method to simultaneously analyze 11 point mutations. The PCR products from a DNA sample containing a homoplasmic wild-type or mutant mtDNA sequence will hybridize to either the wildtype or the mutant ASO probe. The PCR products of a heteroplasmic DNA sample will hybridize to both wild-type and mutant ASO probes. This PCR/ASO method allows the detection of low percentage mutant heteroplasmy.
