Abstract:Objective: To establish a non-invasive detection assay for three Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) families with m.11778G>A, m.14484T>C and m.3460G>A mutations. Methods: Three patients (WZ1481, WZ1478, WZ1435) with m.11778G>A, m.14484T>C and m.3460G>A mutations who visited School of Ophthalmology and Optometry, Wenzhou Medical University were included in this study. Purity and concentration of genes from buccal cell samples via manual sampling and reagent kits were determined. The whole genomic DNA of samples carrying m.11778G>A, m.14484T>C and m.3460G>A mutation with LHON as well as wild type were used as templates, amplification of DNA fragments each containing the above three mutations by PCR. The PCR products were analyzed by DNA sequencing, Dot blot, and Southern blot. Results: There were no significant differences in DNA concentration between buccal cells and blood (P>0.05). However, the purity of buccal cell DNA extracted by manual sampling was lower than the buccal cell DNA and blood DNA extracted by reagent kits (P<0.05). The DNA yielding of buccal cell DNA was similar to that of blood DNA. The results of DNA sequencing, Dot blot and Southern blot were also highly consistent. Both groups were positive in the control group and negative in the mutant group. Conclusion: The results of DNA sequencing, Dot blot and Southern blot demonstrate that buccal cell DNA can be used for the screening and identification of three primary mitochondrial mutations of LHON. This study has established a convenient and non-invasive detection assay suitable for clinical determination in three primary mitochondrial mutations associated with LHON.
