ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To identify mutation of GJB2 gene and provide genetic counseling for a family affected with keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness (KID) syndrome.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples with a standard phenol-chloroform method. PCR and Sanger sequencing were used to analyze potential mutation in the proband. Suspected mutation was verified with a PCR-high-resolution melting (PCR-HRM) method. T-clone sequencing was applied to determine the parental origin of the mutation.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>A heterozygous mutation, c.148G>A (p.Asp50Asn), which is located in the exon 1 of the GJB2 gene, was found in the proband. The results was confirmed by HRM analysis. Cloning sequencing suggested that the mutation was derived from the father's germline.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The hot-spot mutation c.148G>A (p.Asp50Asn) in the GJB2 gene probably underlies the KID syndrome in this Chinese family. A PCR-HRM method has been established to rapidly detect common mutations associated with this disease.</p>
