Novel Mutation (I1023R) in Two Taiwanese Siblings of Cystic Fibrosis

囊性纖維化新突變點(I1023R)的發現:兩名台灣兄弟病例報告

摘要


Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive disorder that is rarely diagnosed definitely in Asians. Less than ten cases of Taiwanese CF with certain gene mutations were published up till now. We report two cases of CF that involved two adolescent Taiwanese siblings. They were identified by direct DNA sequence analysis and both were found to have the same two mutation sites. One is 1898+5G->T which may well explain the pancreatic sufficient phenotype several Taiwanese with CF have in common. The other is a novel mutation I1023R. Both of the siblings presented with airway obstruction symptoms, recurrent infections with Pseudomonas aeruginosa, chronic sinusitis, and bronchiectasis. They are accepting treatment with inhaled Tobramycin 300mg twice daily currently.
