A novel homozygous mutation causing hereditary tyrosinemia type I in yakut patient in russia: case report.

INTRODUCTION: Tyrosinemia type 1 (HT1) (OM IM 276700) is an inborn error of tyrosine catabolism caused be fumarylacetoacetate hedralase deficiency (FAH). In tyrosinemia type I, dietary therapy and nitisinone (Orfandin®), liver transplantation are effective . AIM: We present here the first report on identification of FAH mutation in HT1 Yakut patient from Russia with a novel one. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The material for the clinical study is based on the genetic data of the patient card with tyrosinemia type 1, which is observed in the medical-genetic consultations Republican Hospital №1-National Medical Center of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). For molecular genetic analysis has been used venous whole blood, taken with the written consent from the patient, his relatives and 200 healthy Yakuts. All regions of the FAH gene spanning exons were amplified by PCR and mutational analyses was carried out by direct sequencing. Results of sequencing were confirmed by restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RELF) analyses. RESULTS: 1 one-year-old child was identified with a diagnosis hereditary tyrosinemia type Ia, acute form. In exon 13 of the FAH gene a novel mutation c.1090 G>C (GLu364GLn) in the homozygous state was found in patient, and in heterozygous state in both parents. The child is treated Nitisinone therapy. DNA diagnostics of c.1090 G>C mutation frequency in the FAH gene was conducted using PCR and RFLP analysis in 200 unrelated Yakuts. The frequency of heterozygous carrier was 1.0%.

Pharmacogenetic testing by polymorphic markers 681G>A and 636G>A CYP2C19 gene in patients with acute coronary syndrome and gastric ulcer in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia).

BACKGROUND: The focus of the study is to determine the prevalence of CYP2C19 alleles, associated with the risk of changes in the pharmacological response to clopidogrel and proton pump inhibitors in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and gastric ulcer from Russian and Yakut ethnic groups. METHODS: The research included 411 patients with ACS (143 Russians and 268 Yakuts) and 204 patients with histologically confirmed gastric ulcer (63 Russians and 141 Yakuts). Genotyping of 681G>A and 636G>A polymorphisms was performed by using polymerase real-time chain reaction. RESULTS: In both ethnic groups, Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium was followed in a distribution of alleles and genotypes in the population (p>0.05). The 681A allele frequency in the Yakut ethnic group was higher than in the Russian group: 17.53% vs. 8.39% (p=0.001). No statistically significant difference was found in the frequency of 636A in Yakuts and Russians with ACS: 3.92% vs. 3.50% (p=0.840). While comparing the frequency distribution of alleles 681A (13.49% vs. 14.54%, p=0.878) and 636A (7.94% vs. 7.80%, p=1) in patients with a gastric ulcer from Russian and Yakut ethnic groups, no significant difference was found in carrier frequency. CONCLUSIONS: The results of the present study may be helpful for developing guidelines for CYPC19 genotype-directed antiplatelet therapy for Yakut and Russian patients.
