    摘要:

    目的:探讨ABO血型基因1号外显子发生c.28G>A(p.Gly10Arg)突变导致B抗原表达减弱的血清学特点和分子生物学机制。方法:采集一例先证者及其父母的外周血样本,利用微柱凝集法及盐水试管法进行ABO血清学表型鉴定;应用Sanger基因序列分析检测ABO基因1~7外显子编码区域及其侧翼序列,确定基因突变位点;利用生物信息学工具(Jalview, PolyPhen-2, ESEfinder, RNAfold, TMHMM, IUPred2A)对该突变进行进化保守性、致病性、剪接调控、RNA结构、跨膜拓扑及无序化区域预测。结果:血清学检测结果显示先证者及其母亲均为A1Bweak;先证者父亲表型A1;Sanger测序结果显示先证者及其母亲基因型为ABO*A1.02/B.01,且B*等位基因存在c.28G>A杂合突变,家系分析证实该突变与表型共分离。进化保守性分析显示,第10位甘氨酸在多个哺乳动物物种中高度保守。TMHMM跨膜拓扑预测p.Gly10Arg突变位于蛋白质的胞质尾区,且不改变其固有的跨膜结构,且被PolyPhen-2预测为“良性”突变;但可能创建一个新的SC35剪接因子结合位点;然而并未改变局部RNA二级结构的自由能。结论:ABO血型基因1号外显子c.28G>A错义突变可导致B抗原表达减弱,最终形成A1Bweak,该突变位于进化上高度保守的位点,其分子机制主要与创建异常剪接增强子、干扰前体mRNA加工有关,而非直接损害蛋白质结构功能。

    Abstract:

    Objective: To investigate the serological characteristics and molecular mechanism underlying weakened B antigen expression caused by a c.28G>A (p.Gly10Arg) mutation in exon 1 of the ABO gene. Methods: Peripheral blood samples were collected from a proband and his parents. ABO phenotyping was performed using the microcolumn agglutination and saline tube methods. Sanger sequencing of exons 1-7 of the ABO gene was conducted to identify the mutation. Comprehensive bioinformatics analysis was performed using Jalview, PolyPhen-2, ESEfinder, RNAfold, TMHMM, and IUPred2A to assess evolutionary conservation, pathogenicity, splice regulation, RNA structure, transmembrane topology, and disordered regions. Results: Serological tests identified the proband and his mother as A?Bweak, while the father was A?. Sequencing revealed both the proband and mother carried ABO*A1.02/B.01 alleles, with a heterozygous c.28G>A mutation on the B* allele. Pedigree analysis confirmed co-segregation of the mutation with the phenotype. Evolutionary conservation analysis showed the Gly10 residue is highly conserved across multiple mammalian species. Bioinformatics prediction indicated the mutation was "benign", but potentially created a new SC35 splicing factor binding site. It did not alter the minimum free energy of the local RNA secondary structure. While the transmembrane topology remained unchanged, the ANCHOR score for interaction propensity slightly increased. Conclusion: The c.28G>A missense mutation in exon 1 of the ABO gene leads to weakened B antigen expression and the A?Bweak phenotype. This mutation occurs at an evolutionarily conserved site. Its molecular mechanism is primarily associated with the creation of an aberrant splicing enhancer that disrupts RNA processing, rather than directly impairing protein structure and function.
