Problems solved by technology

At present, studies have reported that NLRP5 is an important maternally derived protein, which is crucial for early embryonic development and the initiation of life in mice and humans, but its pathogenic mutation sites still need to be further confirmed

Embodiment 1

[0034] Detection of NLRP5 gene mutations in a family with primary female infertility.

[0035] experimental method:

[0036] 1. Collection of clinical resources of the family and establishment of a genetic resource bank:

[0037] The proband in this family is patient (Ⅳ-2), female, who visited Nanjing Maternal and Child Health Hospital two years ago and was diagnosed with primary infertility; her younger sister and younger brother are of normal fertility; her parents are close relatives, but Mother has passed away. (Family diagram see figure 1 ). Clinical data mainly include personal medical history, family history, birth history, etc. The clinical data of the patient (Ⅳ-2) and the blood samples of the father and two fertile sisters were collected. Genomic DNA from the blood of the patient (Ⅳ-4) and his father (Ⅲ-1) and younger sisters (Ⅳ-4, Ⅳ-6) was extracted with a blood genomic DNA extraction kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany).

[0038] 2. Discover the pathogenic mutations...

Embodiment 2

[0064] Biological analysis was performed on the pathogenic mutation NLRP5 c.2945delT p.L982fs detected in Example 1.

[0065] Experimental results:

[0066] 1. Conservative analysis:

[0067] Using the NCBI HomoloGene database (http: / / www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov / homologene), the screened NLRP5 p.L982fs mutation was conserved in multiple species including humans, mice, orangutans, sheep, dogs, and horses It is found that this site is conserved in the evolution process, which confirms that the mutation of the site may cause more serious pathological diseases. The results are shown in image 3 .

[0068] 2. Research on protein crystal structure changes:

[0069] SWISS MODEL (http: / / swissmodel.expasy.org / ) prediction software was used to predict the structures of the NLRP5 wild-type protein and the mutant protein carrying the c.2945delT p.Leu982fs mutation, and evaluate the protein structure changes caused by the mutation. The prediction results of the protein crystal structure showe...

Abstract

The invention discloses a pathogenic mutation of hereditary primary infertility and a detection reagent thereof. A mutated NLRP5 gene causing hereditary primary infertility, said mutation being homozygous frameshift mutation NLRP5 c.2945delT p.Leu982fs. Application of the reagent for detecting the mutated NLRP5 gene or the mutated NLRP5 protein of the present invention in the preparation of auxiliary diagnostic reagents or detection equipment for female primary infertility. The invention provides a new pathogenic site of the important maternal pathogenic gene NLRP5, and provides a new molecular biology basis for the diagnosis of the disease.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of biomedicine and relates to a pathogenic mutation of hereditary primary infertility and a detection reagent thereof. Background technique [0002] Infertility has become a common disease in modern society, and WHO data shows that infertility has become the third largest disease after tumors and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. According to data released by the National Family Planning Commission, the infertility rate of couples of childbearing age in China has climbed to 12%-15% in recent years, and the number of female patients has exceeded 25 million. Therefore, it is particularly urgent to explore the causes of female infertility. Assisted reproductive technology is currently widely used in the treatment of infertility, but there are still some infertility cases in clinical practice where neither the cause nor the effective treatment method has been found, and a considerable number of female patients ...
