The locus responsible for the childhood-onset proximal spinal muscular atrophies (SMA) has recently been mapped to an area of 2–3 Mb in the region q12–13.3 of chromosome 5. We have used a series of radiation hybrids (RHs) containing distinct parts of the SMA region as defined by reference markers. A cosmid library was constructed from one RH. Thirteen clones were isolated and five of these were mapped within the SMA region. Both RH mapping and fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis showed that two clones map in the region between loci D5S125 and D5S351. One of the cosmids contains expressed sequences. Polymorphic dinucleotide repeats were identified in both clones and used for segregation analysis of key recombinant SMA families. One recombination between the SMA locus and the new marker 9Ic (D5S685) indicates that 9Ic is probably the closest distal marker. The absence of recombination between the SMA locus and marker Fc (D5S684) suggests that Fc is located close to the disease gene. These new loci should refine linkage analysis in SMA family studies and may facilitate the isolation of the disease gene. 相似文献

Gingival fibromatosis (GINGF) is an oral disorder characterized by enlargement of the gingiva. It occurs either as the sole phenotype or combined with other symptoms. Thus far, one GINGF locus has been mapped on chromosome 2, at 2p21, and a second possible locus has been mapped to 2p13. However, the genes responsible for this disorder have not been elucidated. We identified a four-generation Chinese GINGF family in which the disease manifests within 1 year after birth. After exclusion of the two known GINGF loci in this family, we performed a genome-wide search to map the chromosome location of the responsible gene. We identified a new locus, GINGF2, on chromosome 5q13-q22 with a maximum two-point lod score of 4.31 at D5S1721 (theta = 0.00). Haplotype analysis placed the critical region in the interval defined by D5S1491 and D5S1453. Within this region, calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase IV (CAMK4) is a strong candidate. 相似文献

Localization of a novel gene for congenital nonsyndromic simple microphthalmia to chromosome 2q11-14
Microphthalmia is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous disorder of eye development. The genetic basis of nonsyndromic
microphthalmia is not yet fully understood. Previous studies indicated that disease pedigrees from different genetic backgrounds
could be attributed to completely different gene loci. To investigate the etiology in a large autosomal-dominant inherited
simple microphthalmia (nanophthalmia) pedigree, which is the first genetically analyzed Chinese microphthalmia pedigree, we
performed a whole-genome scan using 382 micro-satellite DNA markers after the exclusion of reported candidates associated
with microphthalmia. Strong evidence indicated that microphthalmia in this family was mapped to an unreported new locus on
chromosome 2q. A significantly positive two-point LOD score was obtained with a maximum 3.290 at a recombination fraction
of 0.00 for marker D2S2265. Subsequent haplotype analysis and recombination data further confined the disease-causing gene
to a 15-cM interval between D2S1890 and D2S347 on 2q11-14. Our results further underlined the degree of heterogeneity in microphthalmia
from Chinese background and localized a novel gene which regulates eye embryogenesis. 相似文献

Autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia type III (ADCA III) is a relatively benign, late-onset, slowly progressive neurological disorder characterized by an uncomplicated cerebellar syndrome. Three loci have been identified: a moderately expanded CAG trinucleotide repeat in the SCA 6 gene, the SCA 5 locus on chromosome 11, and a third locus on chromosome 22 (SCA 10). We have identified two British families in which affected individuals do not have the SCA 6 expansion and in which the disease is not linked to SCA 5 or SCA 10. Both families exhibit the typical phenotype of ADCA III. Using a genomewide searching strategy in one of these families, we have linked the disease phenotype to marker D15S1039. Construction of haplotypes has defined a 7.6-cM interval between the flanking markers D15S146 and D15S1016, thereby assigning another ADCA III locus to the proximal long-arm of chromosome 15 (SCA 11). We excluded linkage of the disease phenotype to this region in the second family. These results indicate the presence of two additional ADCA III loci and more clearly define the genetic heterogeneity of ADCA III. 相似文献

Evidence for a novel glaucoma locus at chromosome 3p21-22 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is one of the leading causes of blindness in the world. It is a clinically variable group of diseases with the majority of cases presenting as the late onset adult type. Several chromosomal loci have been implicated in disease aetiology, but causal mutations have only been identified in a small proportion of glaucoma. We have previously described a large six-generation Tasmanian family with POAG exhibiting genetic heterogeneity. In this family, approximately one third of affected individuals presented with a glutamine-368-STOP (Q368STOP) mutation in the myocilin gene. We now use a Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method to identify a second disease region in this family on the short arm of chromosome 3. This disease locus was initially mapped to the marker D3S1298 and a subsequent minimum disease region of 9 cM between markers D3S1298 and D3S1289 was identified through additional mapping. The region did not overlap with any previously described locus for POAG. Using a multiplicative relative risk model, we identified a positive association between this region and the Q368STOP mutation of myocilin on chromosome 1 in affected individuals. These findings provide evidence of a new autosomal dominant glaucoma locus on the short arm of chromosome 3. 相似文献

Non-syndromic hearing loss is the most common sensory disorder in humans; 15%-20% of cases are transmitted as a dominant trait (NSDA) with 40 loci having been mapped and 16 genes having been identified. Here, we report the mapping of a novel NSDA locus, DFNA48, to chromosome 12q13-q14 in a large multigenerational Italian family. A maximum lod score of 3.31 was obtained with marker D12S83, whereas markers D12S347 and D12S1703 defined a region of approximately 18 cM. Positional candidate genes are being screened for deafness-causing mutations. 相似文献

Werner syndrome (WRN) is an inherited disorder that produces symptoms of premature aging. This disease is caused by a recessive mutation that has previously been mapped to chromosome 8p. We have now used genetic linkage analysis to map the WRN gene relative to chromosome 6 reference loci, to screen candidate genes, and to identify a novel dinucleotide repeat polymorphic marker closely linked to WRN. The WRN locus was mapped relative to the marker loci, PLAT, ANK1, D8S135, and D8S87 of the comprehensive chromosome 8 linkage map. The heregulin (HRG) and the fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 genes (FGFR1) have been mapped to chromosome 8p and are involved in cellular growth. Recombination events were detected between WRN and the HRG and FGFR1 genes, excluding them as candidates for the WRN gene. A polymorphic marker generated in this study, WT251, is linked to WRN at a recombination fraction of 0.006, with a lod score of 16.5. 相似文献

Huntington's disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder of late onset, characterized by progressive motor disturbance, psychological manifestations, and intellectual deterioration. The HD gene has been genetically mapped by linkage to the DNA marker D4S10, but the exact physical location of the HD defect has remained uncertain. To delineate critical recombination events revealing the physical position of the HD gene, we have identified restriction fragment length polymorphisms for two recently mapped chromosome 4 loci, RAF2 and D4S62, and determined the pattern of segregation of these markers in both reference and HD pedigrees. Multipoint linkage analysis of the new markers with D4S10 and HD establishes that the HD gene is located in a very small physical region at the tip of the chromosome, bordered by D4S10 and the telomere. A crossover within the D4S10 locus orients this segment on the chromosome, providing the necessary information for efficient application of directional cloning strategies for progressing toward, and eventually isolating, the HD gene. 相似文献

Stargardt disease (STGD) is the most common hereditary macular dystrophy and is characterized by decreased central vision, atrophy of the macula and underlying retinal-pigment epithelium, and frequent presence of prominent flecks in the posterior pole of the retina. STGD is most commonly inherited as an autosomal recessive trait, but many families have been described in which features of the disease are transmitted in an autosomal dominant manner. A recessive locus has been identified on chromosome 1p (STGD1), and dominant loci have been mapped to both chromosome 13q (STGD2) and chromosome 6q (STGD3). In this study, we describe a kindred with an autosomal dominant Stargardt-like phenotype. A genomewide search demonstrated linkage to a locus on chromosome 4p, with a maximum LOD score of 5.12 at a recombination fraction of.00, for marker D4S403. Analysis of extended haplotypes localized the disease gene to an approximately 12-cM interval between loci D4S1582 and D4S2397. Therefore, this kindred establishes a new dominant Stargardt-like locus, STGD4. 相似文献

Genetic loci for autosomal dominant pure hereditary spastic paraplegia (ADPHSP) have been mapped to chromosomes 2p, 8q, 12q, 14q, and 15q. We undertook a genomewide linkage screen of a large family with ADPHSP, for which linkage at all previously identified ADPHSP loci was excluded. Analysis of markers on chromosome 19q gave a peak pairwise LOD score of 3.72 at D19S420, allowing assignment of a novel ADPHSP locus (which we have termed "SPG12") to this region. Haplotype construction and analysis of recombination events narrowed the SPG12 locus to a 16.1-cM region between markers D19S868 and D19S902. 相似文献

The microtubule-associated protein 1B (MAP1B) locus has been mapped in close proximity to spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) on chromosome 5q13. We have identified a second microsatellite within a MAP1B intron, which increases the heterozygosity of this locus to 94%. Two unambiguous recombination events establish MAP1B as a closely linked, distal flanking marker for the disease locus, while a third recombinant establishes D5S6 as the proximal flanking marker. The combination of key recombinants and linkage analysis place the SMA gene in an approximately 2-cM interval between loci D5S6 and MAP1B. Physical mapping and cloning locate MAP1B within 250 kb of locus D5S112. The identification and characterization of a highly polymorphic gene locus tightly linked to SMA will facilitate isolation of the disease gene, evaluation of heterogeneity, and development of a prenatal test for SMA. 相似文献

Multiple highly polymorphic markers have been used to construct a genetic map of the q12-q13.1 region of chromosome 20 and to map the location of the maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) locus. The genetic map encompasses 23 cM and includes 11 loci with PIC values >.50, seven of which have PICs >.70. New dinucleotide repeat polymorphisms associated with the D20S17, PPGB, and ADA loci have been identified and mapped. The dinucleotide repeat polymorphisms have increased the PIC of the ADA locus to .89 and, with an additional RFLP at the D20S17 locus, the PIC of the D20S17 locus to .88. The order of the D20S17 and ADA loci determined genetically (cen–ADA–D20S17–qter) was confirmed by multicolor fluorescence in situ hybridization. The previously unmapped PPGB marker is closely linked to D20S17, with a two-point lod score of 50.53 at [unk] = .005. These markers and dinucleotide repeat markers associated with the D20S43, D20S46, D20S55, D20S75, and PLC1 loci and RFLPs at the D20S16, D20S17, D20S22, and D20S33 have been used to map the MODY locus on chromosome 20 to a 13-cM (sex averaged) interval encompassing ADA, D20S17, PPGB, D20S16, and D20S75 on the long arm of chromosome 20 and to create a genetic framework for additional genetic and physical mapping studies of the region. With these multiple highly polymorphic loci, any MODY family of appropriate size can be tested for the chromosome 20 linkage. 相似文献

Autosomal recessive hypotrichosis is a rare form of human genetic disorder characterized by sparse to absent hair on scalp
and rest of the body of affected individuals. Over the past few years at least five autosomal recessive forms of hypotrichosis
loci have been mapped on different human chromosomes. In the present study, we report localization of another novel autosomal
recessive hypotrichosis locus on human chromosome 10q11.23–22.3 in a four generation consanguineous Pakistani family. All
the four patients in the family showed typical features of hereditary hypotrichosis including sparse hair on the scalp and
rest of the body. Human genome scan using highly polymorphic microsatellite markers mapped the disease locus to a large region
on chromosome 10. This novel locus maps to 29.81 cM (28.5 Mb) region, flanked by markers D10S538 and D10S2327 on chromosome
10q11.23–22.3. A maximum multipoint LOD score of 3.26 was obtained with several markers in this region. DNA sequence analysis
of exons and splice-junction sites of four putative candidate genes (P4HA1, ZNF365, ZMYND17, MYST4), located in the linkage interval, were sequenced but were negative for functional sequence variants. 相似文献

The genes encoding the regulatory subunits RI beta (locus PRKAR1B) and RII beta (locus PRKAR2B) of human cAMP-dependent protein kinase have been mapped in the basic CEPH (Centre d'Etude du Polymorphisme Humain) family panel of 40 families to chromosome 7p and 7q, respectively, using the enzymes HindIII and BanII recognizing the corresponding restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs). Previous data from the CEPH database and our present RFLP data were used to construct a six-point local framework map including PRKAR1B and a seven-point framework map including PRKAR2B. The analysis placed PRKAR1B as the most distal of the hitherto mapped 7p marker loci and resulted in an unequivocal order of pter-PRKAR1B-D7S21-D7S108-D7S17-D7S149- D7S62-cen, with a significantly higher rate of male than female recombination between PRKAR1B and D7S21. The 7q regulatory gene locus, PRKAR2B, could also be placed in an unambigous order with regard to the existing CEPH database 7q marker loci, the resulting order being cen-D7S371-(COL1A2,D7S79)-PRKAR2B-MET-D7S87++ +-TCRB-qter. Furthermore, in situ hybridization to metaphase chromosomes physically mapped PRKAR2B to band q22 on chromosome 7. 相似文献

Autosomal dominant pure hereditary spastic paraplegia (ADPHSP) is clinically characterized by slowly progressive lower-limb spasticity. The condition is genetically heterogeneous, and loci have been mapped at chromosomes 2p, 8q, 14q, and 15q. We have performed a genomewide linkage screen on a large family with ADPHSP, in which linkage to all four previously known loci was excluded. Analysis of markers on chromosome 12q gave a peak pairwise LOD score of 3.61 at D12S1691, allowing us to assign a new locus for ADPHSP (a locus that we have designated "SPG10") to this region. Haplotype construction and analysis of recombination events narrowed the SPG10 locus to a 9.2-cM region between markers D12S368 and D12S83. In addition, our data strongly suggest that there are at least six ADPHSP loci, since we describe a further family in which linkage to all five known ADPHSP loci has been excluded. 相似文献

Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a collective term used to describe phenotypically diverse forms of defective tooth enamel
development. AI has been reported to exhibit a variety of inheritance patterns, and several loci have been identified that
are associated with AI. We have performed a genome-wide scan in a large Brazilian family segregating an autosomal dominant
form of AI and mapped a novel locus to 8q24.3. A maximum multipoint LOD score of 7.5 was obtained at marker D8S2334 (146,101,309 bp).
The disease locus lies in a 1.9 cM (2.1 Mb) region according to the Rutgers Combined Linkage-Physical map, between a VNTR
marker (at 143,988,705 bp) and the telomere (146,274,826 bp). Ten candidate genes were identified based on gene ontology and
microarray-facilitated gene selection using the expression of murine orthologues in dental tissue, and examined for the presence
of a mutation. However, no causative mutation was identified. 相似文献

Localization of the gene for autosomal recessive congenital hereditary endothelial dystrophy (CHED2) to chromosome 20 by homozygosity mapping. 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Congenital hereditary endothelial dystrophy (CHED) is a corneal disorder that presents with diffuse bilateral corneal clouding. Vision may be severely impaired, and many patients require corneal transplantation. Both autosomal dominant (AD) and autosomal recessive (AR) forms of the disorder have been described. The gene responsible for AD CHED (HGMW-approved symbol CHED1) has been mapped to the pericentromeric region of chromosome 20. Investigating a large, consanguineous Irish pedigree with autosomal recessive CHED, we have previously excluded linkage to this AD CHED locus. We now describe a genome-wide search using homozygosity mapping and DNA pooling. Evidence of linkage to chromosome 20p was demonstrated with a maximum lod score of 9.30 at a recombination fraction of 0.0 using microsatellite marker D20S482. A region of homozygosity in all affected individuals was identified, narrowing the disease gene locus to an 8-cM region flanked by markers D20S113 and D20S882. This AR CHED (HGMW-approved symbol CHED2) disease gene locus is physically and genetically distinct from the AD CHED locus. 相似文献

Summary We were able to refine the chromosomal position of two existing marker loci, using an extended chromosome 21 somatic cell hybrid panel. The locus D21S26 mapped in the region 21q11.2–q21.1, and the locus D21S24 in 21q22.1–q22.2. Physical and genetic analysis indicated that D21S26 is tightly linked to D21S13 and D21S16, two markers previously linked to familial Alzheimer's disease. 相似文献

Complete or partial congenital absence of hair (congenital alopecia) may occur either in isolation or with associated defects. The majority of families with isolated congenital alopecia has been reported to follow an autosomal-recessive mode of inheritance (MIM 203655). As yet, no gene has been linked to isolated congenital alopecia, nor has linkage been established to a specific region of the genome. In an attempt to map the gene for the autosomal recessive form of the disorder, we have performed genetic linkage analysis on a large inbred Pakistani family in which affected persons show complete absence of hair development (universal congenital alopecia). We have analyzed individuals of this family, using >175 microsatellite polymorphic markers of the human genome. A maximum LOD score of 7.90 at a recombination fraction of 0 has been obtained with locus D8S258. Haplotype analysis of recombination events localized the disease to a 15-cM region between marker loci D8S261 and D8S1771. We have thus mapped the gene for this hereditary form of isolated congenital alopecia to a locus on chromosome 8p21-22 (ALUNC [alopecia universalis congenitalis]). This will aid future identification of the responsible gene, which will be extremely useful for the understanding of the biochemistry of hair development. 相似文献
