概述

囊性纤维化（cystic fibrosis, CF）是一种比较常见的遗传性疾病，它是由人类第7对常染色体突变所引起的。在人类的体细胞中（除外男性的精子细胞，女性的卵细胞、卵母细胞）都含有46条即23对染色体。其中一半遗传自母亲，另一半遗传自父亲。这些染色体上的基因通过表达而控制体内蛋白质的合成，从而决定生物体的表型。在正常情况下，囊性纤维跨膜蛋白（cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator, CFTR）是由位于第7对染色体上的一个基因调控合成的，这种染色体的突变（在DNA平上的缺失）导致CFTR的合成缺失或缺陷，从而引起了CF。现已有1000多种CF的突变形式得到了确认，其中的一些形式是比较常见的。

由于CF是一种隐性遗传病，所以患病者必须是第7对染色体CFTR基因突变的纯合子，即从父母双方各遗传到一条不正常的染色体基因。而只有一条染色体上CFTR基因突变，另一条染色体正常的个体称为携带者。携带者既无临床症状亦不患病，但他们可以把致病基因遗传给下一代。因此，患病者的亲生父母双方都至少有一条致病基因，即他们必须是携带者或患病者。北欧的高加索人和德系犹太人有较高的CF患病率，大约每20-25人中有1人是携带者。

CF患者由于CFTR蛋白的合成及功能的缺陷，导致上皮细胞中水和电解质的跨膜转运障碍，从而产生浓厚粘稠的黏液，结果堵塞支气管继发肺部感染，亦可堵塞胰腺和肝脏导管，引起蛋白消化障碍。大多数男性患者还可表现为不育，原因是从睾丸向外运送精子的输精管发育不良或缺失。大多数患者早年出现呼吸道和胰腺的症状，即使患者之间的基因突变方式相同，其表现的临床症状严重程度也是因人而异的。

囊性纤维化病是美国最常见的一种隐性遗传疾病。据统计大概有3万美国人患有该病，每年新增病例约1000人。目前尚无明确的预防和治愈该疾病的方法，只能以对症治疗为主要手段。但针对此病治疗方法的研究近10年来取得了较大的进展，目前已可使一些患者延长生命，改善了生活质量。

 

骼和胸部的X线检查，上消化道和小肠的检查以及肺功能检查。

  • 症状和体征

    CF的体征和症状包括：

    • 反复咳嗽、久咳、咳痰
    • 反复或持续的胸部感染，如支气管炎、肺炎
    • 腹部疼痛或不适
    • 新生儿胎粪性肠梗阻
    • 慢性腹泻、恶臭粪便、脂肪便
    • 体重下降或营养不良
    • 生长发育停滞―患儿虽食欲旺盛，但生长发育仍迟缓
    • 血液中蛋白减少和水肿

    CF可导致体内水电解质失衡。大多数患者汗液中的盐分（氯化钠）可为正常人的5倍。钠和氯的大量丢失可引起心率失常，有时甚至可引起休克。

    CF患者肺中原本起润滑作用的黏液变得浓厚粘稠，为微生物的生长繁殖提供了良好的环境，导致频繁的呼吸道感染。这时必须通过静脉注射、口服和/或吸入抗生素进行治疗。大多CF患者都是因呼吸道感染和肺部并发症而首次发病的。

    胰腺导管被粘稠物堵塞，由于胰酶不能进入肠道消化蛋白质和脂肪，引起吸收障碍。这可导致维生素缺乏和营养不良。口服胰酶和服用脂溶性的维生素A、D、E、K，再搭配低脂高蛋白饮食可以缓解症状。如果胰腺受损严重，一些患者最终可以继发糖尿病。

    其它与囊性纤维化病有关的症状包括：

    • 胆道结石
    • 胰腺炎
    • 生长发育迟缓和青春期性发育延迟
    • 杵状指（趾）
    • 慢性肝病和胆汁性 肝硬化
    • 直肠脱垂
    • 男性不育（梗阻性精子缺乏）

     

  • 试验

    CF突变基因检测：美国医学遗传学会和美国妇产学会都推荐检测CF最常见的23种突变基因的组合，对一般或特定人群进行CF和CF携带情况的普查（一些实验室可检测30-96种突变基因）。此方法为打算怀孕的或妊娠早期的夫妻双方进行DNA检测，以此确定他们是否有导致CF的突变基因。如果夫妻双方都确定有该病的突变基因，那么遗传学顾问应该向夫妇说明育儿可能患CF的相对危险度。

    汗液氯化物检测：是检测通过特殊途径收集的汗液标本中氯化物的含量。CF的典型症状之一是汗液盐分含量极高。由于CFTR蛋白的改变或缺失，导致氯化物转运受限，因此CF患者的汗液盐分含量约是普通人的5倍。汗液氯化物检测阳性可为诊断该病提供依据，如果条件允许，一般和CF突变基因检测联合应用。一些病例只要根据汗液氯化物检测结果便可做出诊断，但有极少数病例的汗液氯化物含量可能正常。

    胰蛋白酶/胰凝乳蛋白酶检测：是检测粪便中蛋白水解酶的试验。胰腺产生无活性的胰蛋白酶，进入小肠被激活后参与食物蛋白质的消化。正常人该试验结果为阳性。这是一项筛查胰腺分泌功能是否正常的试验。

    免疫反应性胰蛋白酶原（Immunoreactive Trypsinogen, IRT）检测：是新生儿胰蛋白酶原的筛查试验，胰蛋白酶原是由胰腺合成并进入肠道的，在肠道活化形成胰蛋白酶，CF患者可产生粘稠的黏液堵塞胰腺导管而阻碍胰蛋白酶原进入肠道。CF患儿血中IRT含量可升高，但该试验的假阳性率较高（由于CF以外的原因和/或一过性升高所影响），因此需要确认试验加以验证。

    鼻电位差（Nasal Potential Difference NPD）检测：离子转运活动，主要是钠离子和氯离子，它们通过呼吸道上皮细胞（覆盖在鼻腔内层的细胞），使鼻腔内产生一个可以测量的跨膜电位差。CF患者的钠和氯离子转运失常，以致产生了与正常人不同的电位差。鼻电压差检测可为诊断CF提供帮助。

    其它检查器官功能、生育能力、肺部感染的试验包括：

    其它非实验室检查还包括骨

  • 预防、早期发现和治疗

    目前，尚无根治CF的方法，只能做到缓解症状和改善患者的生存质量。治疗目标包括积极的去除肺内多余的黏液，防止肺部感染；防止胃肠道消化道堵塞；通过特殊饮食为患者提供充足的营养；一些治疗方法还将身体锻炼和物理疗法与抗生素、抗炎药、气管扩张药等联合使用。

    预防CF的方法目前尚不明确，只能对人群的致病基因携带情况进行筛查，以及加强对CF患病风险的遗传咨询服务。

    在胎儿出生之前，便可通过对羊水和绒毛膜进行CF基因突变的检测，诊断胎儿是否患有该病。现在新生儿健康普查项目里已新加入了免疫反应性胰蛋白酶检测和CF基因突变检测。早期诊断可以使患儿的父母通过CF中心接受一定的关于该病的知识和特殊的帮助。早期诊断有助于早期治疗，使患儿的营养发育不良和肺部损伤降到最低的程度。

    一些患者可能需要接受肺移植，但该方法是否能使患者延长生命或提高生存质量，尚不十分明确。

    现针对此病治疗方法的有关研究正在进行，并且在近10年来取得了较大的进步，已经能做到在提高患者的生存质量的前提下延长患者的生命。

     

  • 要提出的问题

    以下是你需要向你的健康顾问提出的问题：

    1. 对我的情况来讲，DNA检测与其它CF筛查试验相比，它的优势是什么？

    2. 我们做CF筛查试验的最佳时间是什么时候？

    3. 我的孩子应该做CF相关的试验吗？

    4. 国家是强制要求还是建议做新生儿CF筛查试验？我需要申请吗？

    5. 我的种族对我患CF的风险有怎样的影响？是否有某种CF的基因突变类型在我的种族特别常见？是否有足够的关于我的种族和家族史与该疾病研究的信息？

    6. 对父母双方都进行该疾病的检查有何利弊？您建议在同一时间进行检查还是不同时间进行试验？

    7. 根据对CF的筛查和实验室检查的结果，我是否应该了解遗传学方面的知识，还是应该和遗传学顾问或医学遗传学家进行交流？

    8. 我家庭里还有哪些成员可能是该病的携带者？了解CF检查的结果对我们有什么好处吗？
