초록

목 적 : 성장호르몬 분비를 촉진하는 ghrelin는 여러 질병에서의 역할은 아직까지 잘 알려져 있지 않았다. 그러나 최근에 ghrelin 유전자 변이가 비만과 당뇨병과 관련이 있는 것으로 알려졌다. 현재까지 보고된 ghrelin 유전자 이상으로는 SNP인 Arg51Gln, Leu72Met, G274A가 있으며 이중 가장 흔한 이상인 Leu72Met 변이이다. 일반적으로 ghrelin 유전자의 Leu72Met와 같은 diallelic 다형성을 스크리닝하는데 SSCP, RFLP, sequencing 등이 사용되어 왔으나 향후 비만 환자들에서 가장 효과적이고 정확하게, 손쉽게 ghrelin 유전자의 Leu72Met 다형성 분석을 검출할 수 있는 스크리닝 방법을 찾아 임상적 적용에 이용하고자 하였다. 방 법 : 비만소아에서 ghrelin 유전자의 Leu72Met 다형성 분석을 PCR-RFLP, PCR-SSCP와 ARMS 분석 방법을 이용하여 비교분석하고 이들의 검사방법의 장단점을 알아보았다. 결 과 : PCR-RFLP, PCR-SSCP와 ARMS 분석 모두에서 allele 특이산물의 밴드가 뚜렷이 구별할 수 있었으며 상기 방법에 의한 결과는 모두에서 일치하였다. PCR-SSCP 방법은 점돌연변이의 존재 여부를 많은 시료를 대상으로 쉽게 분자학적 스크리닝할 수 있는 장점이 있으나 조작이 간단하지 않고 비용부담이 많다. BsrI 제한효소를 이용한 PCR-RFLP법은 비교적 용이하고 간단하여 널리 쓰이는 방법이지만 충분한 고농도의 DNA가 필요하며 전기영동 결과의 올바른 해석이 쉽지 않았다. 이에 비하여 ARMS 분석법은 위의 방법들보다는 간편하여 검사의 소요시간도 짧으며, 검출률이 높고 결과 해석이 매우 쉬웠다. 결 론 : 따라서 본 실험에서 시행한 ghrelin의 Leu72Met 유전자의 다형성을 결정하는 방법 중에는 ARMS 분석법이 정확하고 검사 분석법 및 결과 해석이 매우 쉽고 검사의 소요시간도 짧아 대량 검체에 적용에 매우 효과적으로 사료된다.

Purpose : The role of ghrelin, which promotes the secretion of growth hormone, was not well known until now. Recently it was found that the mutation of ghrelin gene is related to obesity and diabetes. This study is to find the screening method that can easily and effectively detect the polymorphism of Leu72Met in ghrelin gene of obesity patients and apply it to clinical usage. Methods : We compared PCR-RFLP, PCR-SSCP and ARMS methodologies for analyzing of the polymorphism of Leu72Met in ghrelin gene of obesity children, and also studied the merits and demerits of these methodologies. Results : In this study, we were able to find out the band of peculiar allele of Leu72Met in ghrelin gene using PCR-RFLP, PCR-SSCP and ARMS analyses. The polymorphism of Leu72Met in ghrelin gene determined by all above methodologies was in complete agreement. Compared to the PCR-RFLP and PCR-SSCP, ARMS analysis is simple, inexpensive and also consume less time. It is very sensitive to analyze the polymorphism and easy to understand the results of test. Conclusion : Though PCR-RFLP, PCR-SSCP and ARMS analyses were sensitive to analyze the polymorphism of Leu72Met in ghrelin gene, ARMS analysis appears to be more efficient than PCR-RFLP and PCR-SSCP. Therefore, we conclude that ARMS analysis is suitable to analyze the polymorphism of Leu72Met in ghrelin gene for large quantity of specimens.
