OBJECTIVE: To investigate gene mutations of a consanguineous family with two oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) patients.
METHODS: Genomic DNA was prepared from peripheral leukocytes. All of the exons and flanking introns of P gene and TYR gene were PCR-direct-sequenced. Hha I restriction fragment length polymorphism in codon 787 of the P gene was studied in the family and 102 unrelated normal Chinese individuals.
RESULTS: Although no mutations were found in TYR gene, a missense mutation A787T was found in P gene. Two patients of the family were both homozygous for A787T. Their parents and brother were heterozygous for the mutation. The mutation was not observed among 102 normally pigmented subjects.
CONCLUSION: The A787T mutation is not a common polymorphism among normal Chinese and it seems most likely to be a pathological OCA2 mutation. This is the first report on the study of gene diagnosis in Chinese OCA2 patients.
