Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biological detection technology, specifically relating to a method for detecting the copy number of the NDUFAF2 gene based on multiplex ligation probe amplification technology. Background Technology

[0002] The NDUFAF2 gene encodes NDUFAF2, a key protein in mitochondrial complex I that plays a crucial role in cellular energy metabolism. Mitochondrial complex I, also known as NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase, is a key complex in the mitochondrial respiratory chain, responsible for electron transport and proton pumping. The NDUFAF2 protein assists in the transfer of electrons from NADH to ubiquinone (coenzyme Q) in this process, playing an indispensable role in maintaining cellular energy homeostasis and preventing cellular aging.

[0003] However, dysfunction of the NDUFAF2 gene can lead to mitochondrial diseases, a group of inherited metabolic disorders that affect mitochondrial function and cellular energy production. In particular, mutations or abnormalities in the NDUFAF2 gene often result in abnormal assembly of mitochondrial complex I, affecting cellular energy metabolism and causing a variety of clinical manifestations, including neurological problems, heart disease, and muscle dysfunction. Mitochondrial diseases are typically inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, and it is estimated that approximately 1 in 8,500 people are affected. Mitochondrial complex I deficiency is the most common form of mitochondrial disease in children, accounting for about 30% of all cases.

[0004] The NDUFAF2 gene has unique structural features, including its four exons and a relatively large second intron (approximately 15 kb), as well as highly homologous sequences between exons 2 and 3. This makes deletions of this gene particularly common in pathogenic variants. Existing detection methods, such as whole-exome sequencing (WES) analysis, can identify pathogenic variants, but their accuracy and reliability are limited when faced with highly similar sequences, requiring further validation.

[0005] Traditional validation techniques, such as PCR-based methods and quantitative real-time PCR (Q-PCR), face numerous challenges. For example, the presence of large introns complicates breakpoint primer design, and Q-PCR methods typically require condition optimization and often employ dye methods with low reproducibility, limiting their applicability as first-line prenatal diagnostic methods. Summary of the Invention

[0006] This invention provides a method for detecting the copy number of the NDUFAF2 gene based on multiplexed probe amplification technology. The multiplexed probe set can accurately detect mitochondrial complex I deficiency caused by large fragment deletions of the NDUFAF2 gene, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the detection.
