The HLA class I antigen B44 is found in each of two different extended major histocompatibility haplotypes (allele combinations of HLA-B, HLA-DR, and complement genes BF, C2, C4A, and C4B in linkage disequilibrium). Using isoelectric focusing, two variants of HLA-B44 were identified. The basic variant was found in all cell lines with the extended haplotype HLA-B44, DR7, FC31, and the acidic variant in all cell lines with the extended haplotype HLA-B44, DR4, SC30. The occurrence of each antigen variant with a unique extended haplotype explains previous observations concerning the nonrandom association of B44 variants with DR antigens.  相似文献

Summary C3 allele frequencies were studied in 196 unrelated normal Spaniards. The results fit the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. No rare variants were detected. The C3 frequency was close but slightly higher than that found in other Caucasoid populations, and higher than that found in Negroids and Orientals. Spanish Basques also showed a high C3F frequency. A North-South decreasing C3F gradient was recorded and compared to other gradients (HLA-D/DR, height, etc.) thought to be due to natural selection. Lod scores in 28 Spanish families excluded C3 gene assignment at less than 45cM of HLA/GLO linkage group; no significant linkage disequilibrium was found between C3 and HLA. C3F was also significantly increased in 20 chronic renal failure (CRF) patients as compared to 196 controls; this would support the existence of functional differences between C3F and C3S alleles.  相似文献

Linkage disequilibrium was investigated in canola quality winter rapeseed to analyze (1) the prospects for whole-genome association analyses and (2) the impact of the recent breeding history of rapeseed on linkage disequilibrium. A total of 845 mapped AFLP markers with allele frequencies ≥0.1 were used for the analysis of linkage disequilibrium in a population of 85 canola quality winter rapeseed genotypes. A low overall level of linkage disequilibrium was found with a mean r 2 of only 0.027 over all 356,590 possible marker pairs. At a significance threshold of P = 2.8 × 10−7, which was derived by a Bonferroni correction from a global α-level of 0.1, only 0.78% of the marker pairs were in significant linkage disequilibrium. Among physically linked marker pairs, the level of linkage disequilibrium was about five times higher with more than 10% of marker pairs in significant linkage disequilibrium. Linkage disequilibrium decayed rapidly with distance between linked markers with high levels of linkage disequilibrium extending only for about 2 cM. Owing to the rapid decay of linkage disequilibrium with distance association analyses in canola quality rapeseed will have a significantly higher resolution than QTL analyses in segregating populations by interval mapping, but much larger number of markers will be necessary to cover the whole genome. A major impact of the recent breeding history of rapeseed on linkage disequilibrium could not be observed.  相似文献

KK mouse is known as a polygenic model for non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus with moderate obesity. To identify the quantitative trait loci (QTLs) responsible for the body weight in KK, linkage analysis with 97 microsatellite markers was carried out into 192 F2 progeny, comprising 93 mice with a/a genotype at agouti locus and 99 mice with A y /a genotype, of a cross between C57BL/6J female and KK-Ay (Ay congenic) male, thereby the influence of A y allele on the quantitative regulation of body weight was also examined. In F2 a/a mice, we identified a QTL on Chromosome (Chr) 4, and two loci with suggestive linkage on Chrs 15 and 18. In F2 A y /a mice, a QTL was identified on Chr 6, and two loci with suggestive linkage were identified on Chrs 4 and 16. That the QTL on Chr 4 was held in common between F2 a/a and F2 A y /a progenies implies that this locus may be a primary component regulating body weight in KK and KK-Ay. These results suggest that the body weight in KK is controlled by multiple genes, and the different combination of loci is involved in the presence of A y allele. The QTL on Chr 6 seemed to determine the body weight by controlling fat deposition, because the linkage was identified on body weight and adiposity, and is suggested to be a component involved in the metabolic pathway in obesity caused by the A y allele.

Summary Genetic polymorphism of the second component of human complement (C2) was investigated in 521 unrelated healthy adult Japanese using isoelectric focusing in polyacrylamide gel followed by a specific hemolytic overlay method. Besides the phenotypes reported previously (C, AC and BC), a relatively infrequent double-banded phenotype (tentatively named A'C) was observed. Moreover, a homozygous variant (A) and a heterozygous double variant (AB) were observed. The estimated frequencies for the common allele. C2 2 (=C2 1 ), and the variant alleles, C2 A , C2 B (=C2 2 ) and C2 A were 0.939, 0.034, 0.022, and 0.006, respectively.The results of further typing for HLA-A,-B,-C specificities indicated the presence of significant associations of C2 A with HLA-B15 and with A26, and of C2 B with HLA-Bw61. These findings support our previous observation that in Japanese there are allelic combinations showing linkage disequilibrium between C2 and HLA loci which are different from those in Caucasians, and that the C2 structural locus is more closely linked to HLA-B than to HLA-A.C2 hemolytic activities of each phenotypes were assayed. The mean activity of type AC sera was significantly higher than that of type C or type BC, while there were no differences in the activities among the types C, BC or A'C.Also presented are two pedigrees demonstrating the segregation of C2 with HLA alleles in which a homozygous C2A or C2B individual was observed.  相似文献

Allozyme variation of populations of chum salmon Oncorhynchus ketafrom southern Russian Far East was examined. Of 55 loci screened, 31 were polymorphic. Within-population variation accounted for most of the allele diversity; F STaveraged over loci was 0.052. Linkage disequilibrium was found in less than 5% of locus pairs in the chum population examined. Analysis of within- and among-population variance components of linkage disequilibrium using D-statistics (Ohta, 1982) showed that most genetic variation was distributed among populations.  相似文献

The C4, Bf, and GPLA phenotypes of homo- and heterozygous C4-deficient guinea pigs were studied. The electrophoretic patterns suggest that the deficiency in circulating C4 results from an impaired structural gene, allelic to the C4F, C4S, and C4S1 alleles at the C4 locus. In family studies, support for linkage of C4 and Bf to theGPLA system was obtained. The defective gene appears to be the fourth allele, which is rare, in the polymorphism of the fourth component of guinea pig complement.Abbreviations used in this paper are as follows Bf locus for properdin factor B - MHC major histocompatibility complex - GPLA major histocompatibility complex of the guinea pig  相似文献

Copper toxicosis (CT) is an autosomal recessive disorder common in Bedlington terriers. Previously, the CT locus was mapped to canine Chromosome (Chr) 10q26 through linkage to marker C04107. Diagnosis, traditionally based on liver biopsy, has recently shifted to interpretation of the C04107 microsatellite alleles where allele 2 segregates with the disease with 90–95% accuracy. Recently, CT has been attributed to a deletion of exon 2 in the MURR1 gene. We also identified a deletion of exon 2 of MURR1 in our collection of 2-2 homozygous affected terriers. However, our collection also included affected 1-1 homozygotes and 1-2 heterozygotes, and these dogs did not have the homozygous deletion. In addition to C04107, we analyzed an adjacent microsatellite (C04107B), and two novel SNPs, all within intron 1 of MURR1, and sequenced all exons and their intronic boundaries. Pedigree analysis indicates that there are two typical haplotypes, one normal and one affected, maintaining complete linkage disequilibrium between C04107 allele 2 and the deletion in most pedigrees. Most importantly, we identified a recombinant haplotype present in a North American pedigree, where allele 2 is not linked with the deletion, and a fourth haplotype containing a splice site variant. Although the splice site alteration appears to be a normal variant, it is present in two affected dogs, which do not carry homozygous deletions of MURR1.  相似文献

Summary At least 12 different C4 gene products with a three band pattern have been identified after electrophoresis of sera pretreated with neuraminidase.Segregation analysis showed at least 12 different C4 haplotypes (or supergenes), of which five represent a single gene product and seven are duplications each composed of an F and an S gene. The data analyzed with respect to linkage showed one recombinant between the C4 and the HLAB loci in 154 meioses giving a map distance of C4 HLAB of 0.6 cM. Another recombinant between the C4 and the HLAD loci was found in 101 meioses giving a map distance of C4 HLAD of 1.0 cM.Linkage disequilibrium was found between at least eight C4 haplotypes and certain alleles at the HLAB as well as the HLAD loci. Examinations of 15 families selected through a proband with HLAA 25, HLAB 18 and C2 * Q0 showed that in almost all cases a slight variant of the C4 supergene F3S2 followed the haplotype HLAA * 25 HLAB * 18 C2 * Q0. No associations were found between the two duplications C4F * 3 C4S * 2 and C4F * 3 C4S * 1 and the HLA loci. These findings may indicate that these C4 haplotypes were the original ones preceding the other C4 haplotypes.  相似文献

Population genetics is a convenient tool to study the population biology of non‐model and hard to sample species. This is particularly true for parasites and vectors. Heterozygote deficits and/or linkage disequilibrium often occur in such studies and detecting the origin of those (Wahlund effect, reproductive system or amplification problems) is uneasy. We used new tools (correlation between the number of times a locus is found in significant linkage disequilibrium and its genetic diversity, correlations between Wright's FIS and FST, FIS and number of missing data, FIT and allele size and standard errors comparisons) for the first time on a real data set of tsetse flies, a vector of dangerous diseases to humans and domestic animals in sub‐Saharan Africa. With these new tools, and cleaning data from null allele, temporal heterogeneity and short allele dominance effects, we unveiled the coexistence of two highly divergent cryptic clades in the same sites. These results are in line with other studies suggesting that the biodiversity of many taxa still largely remain undescribed, in particular pathogenic agents and their vectors. Our results also advocate that including individuals from different cohorts tends to bias subdivision measures and that keeping loci with short allele dominance and/or too frequent missing data seriously jeopardize parameter's estimations. Finally, separated analyses of the two clades suggest very small tsetse densities and relatively large dispersal.  相似文献

Summary Three hundred four HLA-A: HLA-B: Bf haplotypes of the Japanese population as deduced by family analysis are described. Several linkage disequilibriums were observed in the following two-factor haplotypes: HLA-A and HLA-B, HLA-A and Bf, and HLA-B and Bf. Positive linkage disequilibriums between HLA-A and HLA-B noted in the present study seem to be Japanese specific when compared with the results obtained from other ethnic groups reported so far.The striking finding is that three HLA-B: Bf haplotypes, namely B12-Bf F , B15-Bf F ,and B7-Bf S ,are common and show linkage disequilibrium in both Japanese and European Caucasians (German). This finding not only confirms the proximity of the HLA-B and Bf loci but also suggests that the interaction of the two genes plays an important role in the maintenance of stable linkage disequilibrium.This study was partially supported by a Scientific Research Grant (No. 337023) from the Ministry of Education, Science, and Culture of JapanAddress until August, 1981: Dept.

Summary The genetical expectations of the means, variances and covariances of populations of doubled haploid lines derived from f1, F2, F3 and intermated F2 (S3) generations are presented. These expectations are identical, regardless of genetical architecture, providing there is no linkage disequilibrium. In the presence of linkage disequilibrium differences will occur whose magnitude and direction will depend on the degree of disequilibrium, recombination frequency and the presence or absence of epistasis.Data from an experiment to detect linkage disequilibrium in a cross between two spring barley varieties are presented. This involved a comparison of means, variances and covariances of doubled haploid populations derived from the F1 and F2 generations using the H. bulbosum system. Linkage disequilibrium was detected for important agronomic characters and the effect of this disequilibrium on the choice of generation for doubled haploid production is discussed.  相似文献

Summary We used the following polymorphic markers: APOC2 (BanI, BglI, TaqI), CKMM (NcoI, TaqI), and D19S63 (PstI) to haplotype 33 Spanish myotonic dystrophy (DM) families. We analysed the allele and haplotype frequencies of our sample, and the possible association of alleles or haplotypes with the disease. We found a slight linkage disequilibrium between APOC2 (BanI) and DM, but no disequilibrium when using all other APOC2 and CKMM RFLPs; this agrees with data previously reported. In addition, we found a very strong linkage disequilibrium when using D19S63 (PstI), the + allele being associated with the DM locus. This disequilibrium in the Spanish population indicates that D19S63 is very close to the DM locus.  相似文献

Summary A family in which two homoduplicated C4 haplotypes (or supergenes) segregate is described. One haplotype C4F * 3 C4F *2.2 is composed of two C4F alleles and the other C4S * 5.1 C4S *1 of two C4S alleles. The C4F duplication haplotype is a partial inhibitor of the Rodgers antigen, and judged from our family and population material, it seems to be rather frequent and associated with HLAB *35, Bf * F, and HLAD/DR *1. The C4S duplication haplotype is Rg(a-) and is not identified in individuals without another S, Ch(a+) variant.This work was supported by grant No 12-1727 from the Danish Medical Research Council  相似文献

We have studied linkage disequilibrium between CTG repeats and anAlu insertion/deletion polymorphism at the myotonin protein kinase gene (DMPK) in 102 Japanese families, of which 93 were affected with myotonic dystrophy (DM). All of the affected chromosomes are in complete linkage disequilibrium with theAlu insertion allele. Among the normal chromosomes, alleles of CTG repeats 5 and 17 are exclusively associated with the insertion allele. On the other hand, intermediate alleles of 11-6 repeats show a significantly greater association with the deletion allele. A strikingly similar pattern of linkage disequilibrium observed in European populations suggests a common origin of the DM mutation in the Japanese and European populations.  相似文献

Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) comprises a group of chronic systemic inflammatory disorders that primarily affect joints and can cause long-term disability. JRA is likely to be a complex genetic trait, or a series of such traits, with both genetic and environmental factors contributing to the risk for developing the disease and to its progression. The HLA region on the short arm of chromosome 6 has been intensively evaluated for genetic contributors to JRA, and multiple associations, and more recently linkage, has been detected. Other genes involved in innate and acquired immunity also map to near the HLA cluster on 6p, and it is possible that variation within these genes also confers risk for developing JRA. We examined the TPSN gene, which encodes tapasin, an endoplasmic reticulum chaperone that is involved in antigen processing, to elucidate its involvement, if any, in JRA. We employed both a case–control approach and the transmission disequilibrium test, and found linkage and association between the TPSN allele (Arg260) and the systemic onset subtype of JRA. Two independent JRA cohorts were used, one recruited from the Rheumatology Clinic at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center (82 simplex families) and one collected by the British Paediatric Rheumatology Group in London, England (74 simplex families). The transmission disequilibrium test for these cohorts combined was statistically significant (χ2 = 4.2, one degree of freedom; P = 0.04). Linkage disequilibrium testing between the HLA alleles that are known to be associated with systemic onset JRA did not reveal linkage disequilibrium with the Arg260 allele, either in the Cincinnati systemic onset JRA cohort or in 113 Caucasian healthy individuals. These results suggest that there is a weak association between systemic onset JRA and the TPSN polymorphism, possibly due to linkage disequilibrium with an as yet unknown susceptibility allele in the centromeric part of chromosome 6.  相似文献

A new, partially deficient transferrin variant in the pig   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
A new, partially deficient transferrin variant (TF F) was found in serum samples of a wild boar and his offspring from crossing with Pietrain sows. Family analyses confirmed its genetic control by a codominant allele, TFF. Finding of this new variant has brought the total number of pig transferrin variants to nine (F, I, A, B, C, X, D', E, D).  相似文献

Degenerative myelopathy is a severe and progressive neurodegenerative disease and, in the majority of breeds, is associated with the c.118G>A substitution in exon 2 of the canine superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) gene. Our laboratories have been engaged in determining the cause of many discordant findings between the parental and the offspring genotypes found by different laboratories. In both cases, the discordant findings refer to actual heterozygous dogs that had been typed as homozygous for the variant allele. To that aim, the genomic context of the causative variant was investigated in two Hovawart dogs. An insertion of 54 nucleotides composed of a poly‐T stretch and 15 nucleotides containing the duplication of the exon 2–intron 2 junction was found. The insertion was responsible for the partial mismatch of the reverse primer used for a direct sequencing assay. The mismatch hampered the amplification of the corresponding allele and caused an evident drop‐out effect. The insertion is in complete linkage disequilibrium with the c.118G allele. The allele containing the insertion was highly prevalent in Hovawart dogs, accounting for the 26.6% of allele frequency. The insertion was also found in other unrelated breeds such as Rough Collies and Standard Poodles. In conclusion, the study illustrates the importance of correctly designing the primers to avoid inaccurate genotyping of the degenerative myelopathy causative variant in exon 2 of the SOD1 gene.  相似文献
