摘要： 目的：联合应用多重连接依赖的探针扩增技术（multiplex ligation?鄄dependent probe amplification， MLPA）和Affimetrix SNP 6.0芯片检测并精确定位染色体亚端粒拷贝数异常，对不明原因智力障碍/脑发育迟缓（mental retardation /developmental delay, MR/DD） 进行病因学研究。方法：收集不明原因MR/DD患儿，通过MLPA筛查亚端粒区拷贝数，检测到拷贝数异常者（阳性患儿）进一步检测是否为新发，对新发拷贝数异常者行Affymetrix SNP 6.0芯片验证并精确定位拷贝数异常范围。结果：阳性患儿41例（入组共627例），阳性率6.5%。其中30例单一缺失，6例单一重复，5例同时存在缺失及重复。缺失长度为0.6~12 Mb，包含5~202个基因；重复长度为0.26~11 Mb，包含6~143个基因。与阴性患儿（未检测到拷贝数异常）比，阳性患儿体表畸形（75.6%）和其他先天畸形（51.2%）发生率较高，差别有统计学意义（P＜0.05）。结论：亚端粒区拷贝数异常是不明原因MR/DD的重要病因，为遗传咨询提供了基础。4例拷贝数缺失片段和1例拷贝数重复片段的区域较小。亚端粒区拷贝数异常范围的精确定位为寻找MR/DD致病基因并进行深入的机制研究提供了线索。

Abstract: Objective： Combined using MLPA and Affymetrix SNP 6.0 chip to detect and fine mapping subtelomeric rearrangement in patients with unexplained MR/DD, finally to provide new methods and evidence for the etiologic diagnosis of MR/DD in China. Methods： 1. Collect unexplained MR/DD patients, 2.MLPA combined with Affymetrix SNP 6.0 chip was performed to detect and fine mapping subtelomeric rearrangements in patients. Results：The subtelomeric aberrations were identified in 41 patients, with a detection rate of 6.5%. 30 patients had simple deletions, 6 had simple duplications and 5 with both deletions and duplications. The sizes of the deletions varied from 0.6 to 12 Mb, with 5-202 genes inside. Duplicated regions were 0.26 to 11 Mb, with 6-143 genes inside. Compare with the MLPA negative patients, the incidence of appearance malformations（75.6%） and other congenital malformations（51.2%） are significantly higher in the MPLA positive patients（P<0.05）. Conclusions： Subtelomeric copy number variation is an important cause of unexplained MR/DD. Four deleted subtelomeric regions and one duplicated region found were smaller than any previously reported, which will be helpful for further defining the candidate dosage sensitive gene associated with MD/DD. Subtelomeric aberrations were detected in 6.5% of Chinese children with unexplained MR/DD. 5 complex subtelomeric aberretions have not been reported. Four deleted subtelomeric regions and one duplicated region found were smaller than any previously reported, which will be helpful for further defining the candidate dosage sensitive gene associated with MR/DD.
