Abstract:Objective: To detect the phenotype and gene mutation of a family with hereditary plasminogen (PLG) deficiency and to investigate the molecular mechanism of its pathogenesis. Methods: Prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), thrombin time (TT), fibrinogen (FIB), D-dimer (DD), fibrinogen degradation product (FDP), plasminogen activity (PLG:A), plasminogen antigen (PLG:Ag), antithrombin activity (AT:A), protein C activity (PC:A) and protein S activity (PS:A) were tested in the diagnosis of the proband and his family members (3 generations and 4 persons). Direct DNA sequencing was used to analyze all exons and exon-intron boundaries of the PLG gene, as well as the 5’ and 3’ non-translation regions and the corresponding mutation site regions of family members, confirmed by reverse sequencing. ClustalX-2.1-win software was used to analyze the conserved amino acid sequence of homologous species. PolyPhen-2, PROVEAN, SIFT and Mutation Taster were used to forecast the possible impact of mutant amino acids on protein function. Finally, the protein model and amino acid interaction analysis was performed on the mutation sites using Swiss-Pdb Viewer software. Results: The PLG:A of the proband and his grandfather and father were reduced to the half, while the PLG:Ag was normal, the results being 45%, 95%; 64%, 94% and 64%, 104% respectively. Gene sequencing revealed that the PLG gene of the proband had c.1858G>A heterozygous missense in exon 15, resulting in p.Ala601Thr. Its grandfather and father had the same genetic mutation. Ala601 was highly conserved among its 11 homologous species. The four online bioinformatics software have consistent predictions, all of which were harmful mutations that affect the PLG function, leading to the corresponding diseases. Conclusion: The proband’s PLG gene exon 15 has heterozygous missense mutation of c.1858G>A(p.Ala601Thr) . And the three generations of the grandparents are Ala601Thr heterozygotes, with the mutation in accordance with Mendelian inheritance law and with the family plasminogen activity reduced.
