[Family genetic analysis of paternal Dystrophin gene mutations in a case of female Duchenne muscular dystrophy].
Zhonghua Yi Xue za Zhi [Chinese medical journal] 2021 December 29
A pedigree genetic analysis of a female Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) inherited from paternal chimerism was conducted to explore the genetic diagnosis strategy . No large deletions/duplications was found in the DMD gene of the proband. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) results showed that the proband had a heterozygous mutation in the DMD gene c.4707C>A (p.C1569X). This locus has not been reported in the literature and is considered as a pathogenic mutation. Sanger sequencing revealed that the father of the proband carried the same mutation, and the mosaic ratio was about 17.7%. The specific enzyme digestion test showed that the proband had maternal skewed X-inactivation. DMD a recessive inherited disease of the X chromosome, exists in female patients, and very few of them are inherited from paternal origin. Female patients need to pay close attention to skewed X-inactivation and suspected new mutations. Mosaic is not excluded, especially the inheritance of paternal mosaicism with normal phenotype. Prenatal gene screening is necessary for reproduction.
