Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of molecular biology, relates to medicine and biotechnology, in particular to a TYR gene mutation detection specific primer and a liquid phase chip. Background technique
[0002] Tyrosinase (TYR) is located on the long arm of chromosome 11 11q14.3, specifically between 88911039 and 89028926 base pairs on chromosome 11. Tyrosinase (TYR) is a 75kD copper-containing enzyme derived from embryonic neural crest cells and is a key enzyme in melanin metabolism and catecholamines. Studies have found that more than 100 mutations of the TYR gene can be found in patients with oculocutaneous albinism type I. These mutations disrupt the normal production of melanin, thereby reducing the coloration of hair, skin and eyes. In addition, tyrosinase may be an important antigen of vitiligo autoimmunity. It has recently been found that some patients with vitiligo have tyrosinase antibodies in their serum, which are closely related to th...
