X-chromosome inactivation and the size of the CGG repeat number are assumed to play a role in the clinical, physical, and
behavioral phenotype of female carriers of a mutated FMR1 allele. In view of the tight relationship between replication timing
and the expression of a given DNA sequence, we have examined the replication timing of FMR1 alleles on active and inactive
X-chromosomes in cell samples (lymphocytes or amniocytes) of 25 females: 17 heterozygous for a mutated FMR1 allele with a
trinucleotide repeat number varying from 58 to a few hundred, and eight homozygous for a wild-type allele. We have applied
two-color fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with FMR1 and X-chromosome α-satellite probes to interphase cells of the
various genotypes: the α-satellite probe was used to distinguish between early replicating (active) and late replicating (inactive)
X-chromosomes, and the FMR1 probe revealed the replication pattern of this locus. All samples, except one with a large trinucleotide
expansion, showed an early replicating FMR1 allele on the active X-chromosome and a late replicating allele on the inactive
X-chromosome. In samples of mutation carriers, both the early and the late alleles showed delayed replication compared with
normal alleles, regardless of repeat size. We conclude therefore that: (1) the FMR1 locus is subjected to X-inactivation;
(2) mutated FMR1 alleles, regardless of repeat size, replicate later than wild-type alleles on both the active and inactive
X-chromosomes; and (3) the delaying effect of the trinucleotide expansion, even with a low repeat size, is superimposed on
the delay in replication associated with X-inactivation.

We have identified a novel interstitial duplication at Xq26.1-q27.3 in a previously reported family with X-linked recessive hypopituitarism [1]. Mapping of the duplication was carried out using interphase FISH analysis of over 60 bacterial genomic clones from Xq25-q28. The proximal and distal breakpoints of the duplication are contained within the 432N13 and 91O18 clones, respectively, and are separated by approximately 9 Mb. Comparison with a recently published 13-Mb duplication in another XH family [2] indicated that the duplication break-points in these families were different. Therefore, we conclude that X-linked hypopituitarism is caused by increased dosage of a gene that is critical for pituitary development and that the causative gene is located within the 9-Mb duplicated region that we have defined. 相似文献

The Gene for Hereditary Bullous Dystrophy, X-Linked Macular Type, Maps to the Xq27.3-qter Region 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2 下载免费PDF全文

Bullous dystrophy, hereditary macular type (McKusick 302000), is an X-linked disorder and was originally described in a single kindred in the Netherlands by Mendes da Costa and Van der Valk in 1908. To determine the location of the bullous dystrophy gene, segregation studies were performed in this family and in a recently described Italian family. Using informative polymorphic markers, the gene could initially be localized on the Xq27-q28 region. No recombinants were noted with loci in Xq27.3-q28. Fine mapping places the bullous dystrophy locus distal to DXS102 (Xq26.3) in the Italian family and distal to DXS998 (Xq27.3) in the Dutch family. 相似文献

We have previously observed that replication and nuclear location of the murine Igh locus are developmentally regulated during B cell differentiation. In non-B, B, and plasma cells, sequences near the 3' end of the Igh locus replicate early in S while upstream Vh sequences replicate late in S, and the Igh locus is located near the nuclear periphery. In fact, in MEL non-B cells, replication of a 500-kb segment containing Igh-C and flanking sequences occurs progressively later throughout S by 3' to 5' unidirectional fork movement. In contrast, in pro- and pre-B cells, the entire 3-Mb Igh locus is located away from the nuclear periphery and replicates early in S by forks progressing in both directions. In this study, using an 18-81 (pre-B) x BW5147 (T) cell fusion system in which Igh expression is extinguished, we found that in all Igh alleles, Vh sequences replicated later in S than 3' Igh sequences (similar to that detected in BW5147), but the Igh locus was situated away from the nuclear periphery (similar to that observed in 18-81). Thus, pre-B cell-derived Igh genes had changes in replication timing, but not in nuclear location, whereas T cell-derived Igh genes changed their nuclear location but not their replication timing. These data are consistent with the silencing of a pre-B cell-specific replication program in the fusion hybrid cells and independent regulation of the nuclear location of Igh loci. 相似文献

Genetic mapping of DNA segments relative to the locus for the fragile-X syndrome at Xq27.3. 总被引:10,自引:4,他引:6

We have tested linkage between the locus for the fragile-X [fra(X)] syndrome at Xq27.3 and five polymorphic restriction sites identified by four DNA probes mapping distal to Xq26.1. A maximum distance of approximately 15 centimorgans (cM) between Xq27.3 and the marker loci mapping to this region was predicted based on the physical chromosome length. Close linkage between the disease and marker loci was excluded for probes DXS19 and DXS37 (theta = .05, Z = -2.94 and Z = -4.17, respectively). These marker loci were estimated to be less than five cM apart but approximately 40 cM proximal to the fragile site, indicating that there is a significantly greater frequency of recombination in this region of the X chromosome than expected from the physical length. Linkage results for the other marker loci and the fra(X) syndrome were inconclusive. However, the pX45d probe locus appears very closely linked to the factor IX locus (Z = 1.94 at theta = 0) and is approximately 20 cM proximal to Xq27.3. A relative map of the polymorphic restriction sites, fra(X) syndrome locus, and factor IX locus was constructed by maximizing lod scores over the Xq26.1----q27.3 region. 相似文献

We have microdissected and cloned the region around the fragile site at Xq27.3 on the human X chromosome. All of the clones tested map to the Xq27-Xq28 region, and detailed mapping on a panel of somatic cell hybrids indicates that the microdissected library contains sequences derived from both sides of the fragile X mutation. Some of these clones give signals in rodent DNA. This library demonstrates the power of microdissection for the identification of potential coding sequences near a disease locus and provides a promising resource for the identification of the fragile X mutation. 相似文献

Myotubular Myopathy in a Girl with a Deletion at Xq27-q28 and Unbalanced X Inactivation Assigns the MTMI Gene to a 600-kb Region 下载免费PDF全文
N. Dahl L. J. Hu M. Chery M. Fardeau S. Gilgenkrantz A. Nivelon-Chevallier I. Sidaner-Noisette F. Mugneret J. B. Gouyon A. Gal P. Kioschis M. d'Urso J.-L. Mandel 《American journal of human genetics》1995,56(5):1108-1115
A young girl with a clinically moderate form of myotubular myopathy was found to carry a cytogenetically detectable deletion in Xq27-q28. The deletion had occurred de novo on the paternal X chromosome. It encompasses the fragile X (FRAXA) and Hunter syndrome (IDS) loci, and the DXS304 and DXS455 markers, in Xq27.3 and proximal Xq28. Other loci from the proximal half of Xq28 (DXS49, DXS256, DXS258, DXS305, and DXS497) were found intact. As the X-linked myotubular myopathy locus (MTM1) was previously mapped to Xq28 by linkage analysis, the present observation suggested that MTM1 is included in the deletion. However, a significant clinical phenotype is unexpected in a female MTM1 carrier. Analysis of inactive X-specific methylation at the androgen receptor gene showed that the deleted X chromosome was active in ~80% of leukocytes. Such unbalanced inactivation may account for the moderate MTM1 phenotype and for the mental retardation that later developed in the patient. This observation is discussed in relation to the hypothesis that a locus modulating X inactivation may lie in the region. Comparison of this deletion with that carried by a male patient with a severe Hunter syndrome phenotype but no myotubular myopathy, in light of recent linkage data on recombinant MTM1 families, led to a considerable refinement of the position of the MTM1 locus, to a region of ~600 kb, between DXS304 and DXS497. 相似文献

We report the identification of a new RFLP detected by the DNA probe MN12, which is linked to both the fragile site on the X chromosome at Xq27.3 and the highly polymorphic locus detected by St14 (DXS52). In situ mapping confirms the localisation of MN12 distal to the fragile site. A detailed physical analysis of this region of the X chromosome using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis has shown that MN12, St14 and DX13 (DXS15) are physically linked within a region of 470kb. A long range restriction map around the MN12 locus reveals at least two candidate HTF islands, suggesting the existence of expressed sequences in this region. 相似文献

Chromosomal localization of DBL oncogene sequences 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The DBL oncogene was generated by rearrangements involving three discontinuous regions of the human genome. Analyses of panels of human X rodent somatic cell hybrids demonstrated that the DBL proto-oncogene located on the X chromosome (just proximal or distal to bands q26-27.2) underwent recombination at its 5' and 3' ends with sequences derived from chromosomes 3 (p13q-ter) and 16 (p13-q22), respectively. DBL was localized to chromosome Xq27-q28 by in situ hybridization. Another oncogene, MCF2, was previously shown to contain sequences derived from Xq27 as well. Comparison of the restriction maps and nucleotide sequences of genomic and cDNA clones representing the chromosome X-specific sequences of the DBL oncogene and MCF2, taken together with their chromosomal localization, indicates that these oncogenes were derived from the same genetic locus. 相似文献

We have recently shown that the expression of the FRAXE fragile site in Xq28 is associated with the expansion of a GCC trinucleotide repeat. In the families studied, FRAXE expression is also associated with mild mental handicap. Here we present data on families that previously had been diagnosed as having the fragile X syndrome but that later were found to be negative for trinucleotide repeat expansion at the FRAXA locus. In these families we demonstrate the presence of a GCC trinucleotide repeat expansion at the FRAXE locus. Studies of the FRAXE locus of normal individuals show that they have 6-25 copies of the repeat, whereas affected individuals have > 200 copies. As in the fragile X syndrome, the amplified CpG residues are methylated in affected males. 相似文献

Regulation of the replication of the murine immunoglobulin heavy chain gene locus: evaluation of the role of the 3' regulatory region. 下载免费PDF全文

DNA replication in mammalian cells is a precisely controlled physical and temporal process, likely involving cis-acting elements that control the region(s) from which replication initiates. In B cells, previous studies showed replication timing to be early throughout the immunoglobulin heavy chain (Igh) locus. The implication from replication timing studies in the B-cell line MPC11 was that early replication of the Igh locus was regulated by sequences downstream of the C alpha gene. A potential candidate for these replication control sequences was the 3' regulatory region of the Igh locus. Our results demonstrate, however, that the Igh locus maintains early replication in a B-cell line in which the 3' regulatory region has been deleted from one allele, thus indicating that replication timing of the locus is independent of this region. In non-B cells (murine erythroleukemia cells [MEL]), previous studies of segments within the mouse Igh locus demonstrated that DNA replication likely initiated downstream of the Igh gene cluster. Here we use recently cloned DNA to demonstrate that segments located sequentially downstream of the Igh 3' regulatory region continue to replicate progressively earlier in S phase in MEL. Furthermore, analysis by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis indicates that replication forks proceed exclusively in the 3'-to-5' direction through the region 3' of the Igh locus. Extrapolation from these data predicts that initiation of DNA replication occurs in MEL at one or more sites within a 90-kb interval located between 40 and 130 kb downstream of the 3' regulatory region. 相似文献

Molecular genetic analysis of the FMR-1 gene in a large collection of autistic patients 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

A genetic etiology in autism is now strongly supported by family and twin studies. A 3:1 ratio of affected males to females
suggests the involvement of at least one X-linked locus in the disease. Several reports have indicated an association of the
fragile X chromosomal anomaly at Xq27.3 (FRAXA) with autism, whereas others have not supported this finding. We have so far
collected blood from 105 simplex and 18 multiplex families and have assessed 141 patients by using the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised
(ADI-R), the Autism Diagnostic Observation Scale, and psychometric tests. All four ADI-R algorithm criteria were met by 131
patients (93%), whereas 10 patients (7%) showed a broader phenotype of autism. Southern blot analysis was performed with three
different enzymes, and filters were hybridized to an FMR-1-specific probe to detect amplification of the CCG repeat at FRAXA,
to the complete FMR-1 cDNA probe, and to additional probes from the neighborhood of the gene. No significant changes were
found in 139 patients (99%) from 122 families, other than the normal variations in the population. In the case of one multiplex
familiy with three children showing no dysmorphic features of the fragile X syndrome (one male meeting 3 out of 4 ADI-algorithm
criteria, one normal male with slight learning disability but negative ADI-R testing, and one fully autistic female), the
FRAXA full-mutation-specific CCG-repeat expansion in the genotype was not correlated with the autism phenotype. Further analysis
revealed a mosaic pattern of methylation at the FMR-1 gene locus in the two sons of the family, indicating at least a partly
functional gene. Therefore, we conclude that the association of autism with fragile X at Xq27.3 is non-existent and exclude
this location as a candidate gene region for autism.

Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is the most common inheritable form of intellectual disability. FMR1, the gene responsible for FXS, is located on human chromosome Xq27.3 and contains a stretch of CGG trinucleotide repeats in its 5′ untranslated region. FXS is caused by CGG repeats that expand beyond 200, resulting in FMR1 silencing via promoter hypermethylation. The molecular mechanism underlying CGG repeat expansion, a fundamental cause of FXS, remains poorly understood, partly due to a lack of experimental systems. Accumulated evidence indicates that the large chromosomal region flanking a CGG repeat is critical for repeat dynamics. In the present study, we isolated and introduced whole human X chromosomes from healthy, FXS premutation carriers, or FXS patients who carried disease condition-associated CGG repeat lengths, into mouse A9 cells via microcell-mediated chromosome transfer. The CGG repeat length-associated methylation status and human FMR1 expression in these monochromosomal hybrid cells mimicked those in humans. Thus, this set of A9 cells containing CGG repeats from three different origins (FXS-A9 panel) may provide a valuable resource for investigating a series of genetic and epigenetic CGG repeat dynamics during FXS pathogenesis. 相似文献

Summary We have analysed two duplications of the X chromosome in male patients using chromosome replication and DNA methylation patterns as determinants of the functional status of the duplicated segments. In both cases, the large duplicated regions, Xq12-q22 and Xq26.3-qter, were not inactivated. A review of previously reported male cases revealed that these duplications were also not subject to inactivation. Taken together, the examined duplications cover almost the entire X chromosome except the pericentromeric region and Xq25–26. Thus, most regions of the X chromosome can be present in two functional copies without lethal consequences. 相似文献

Choroideremia is linked to the restriction fragment length polymorphism DXYS1 at XQ13-21. 总被引:12,自引:3,他引:9 下载免费PDF全文
Choroideremia (McK30310), an X-linked hereditary retinal dystrophy, causes night-blindness, progressive peripheral visual field loss, and, ultimately, central blindness in affected males. The location of choroideremia on the X chromosome is unknown. We have used restriction fragment length polymorphisms from the X chromosome to determine the regional localization of choroideremia by linkage analysis in families with this disease. One such polymorphic locus, DXYS1, located on the long arm (Xq) within bands q13-q21, shows no recombination with choroideremia at lod = 5.78. Therefore, with 90% probability, choroideremia maps within 9 centiMorgans (cM) of DXYS1. Another polymorphic locus, DXS11, located within Xq24-q26, also shows no recombination with choroideremia, although at a smaller lod score of 1.54 (90% probability limit theta less than 30 cM). This linkage with DXS11, a marker that is distal to DXYS1, suggests that the locus for choroideremia is also distal to DXYS1 and lies between these two markers in the region Xq13-q24. These results provide regional mapping for the disease that may be useful for prenatal diagnosis and, perhaps ultimately, for isolating the gene locus for choroideremia. 相似文献

The origin of modern humans can be traced by comparing polymorphic sites in either mitochondria or genomic sequences between humans and other primates. The human Y chromosome has both a non-recombining region and X-Y homologous pseudo-autosomal regions. In the nonrecombining region events during evolution can be directly detected. At least a part of homology between Xq21 and Yp11 is a result of rather recent translocations from the X chromosome to the Y chromosome. DNA markers residing in the nonrecombining region of the human Y chromosome are potentially useful in tracing male-specific gene flow in human evolution. However, the number of available markers in the region is limited. Here, we report a novel X-Y homologous (CA)n repeat locus in the nonrecombining region of the Y chromosome. This marker, DXYS241, has several interesting features. Y- and X-chromosome alleles are distinguishable because the Y-chromosome alleles are shorter than the X-chromosome alleles most of the time. We developed 2 primer sets for specific examination of Y- and X-chromosome alleles. The marker should be useful in establishing relationships between populations based on patrilineal gene flow. Sequences homologous to DXYS241 are also found on the X chromosome of primates. Four events during primate evolution that led to the modern human Y chromosome were identified. 相似文献

Examination of X chromosome markers in Rett syndrome: exclusion mapping with a novel variation on multilocus linkage analysis. 下载免费PDF全文

Rett syndrome is a neurologic disorder characterized by early normal development followed by regression, acquired deceleration of head growth, autism, ataxia, and stereotypic hand movements. The exclusive occurrence of the syndrome in females and the occurrence of a few familial cases with inheritance through maternal lines suggest that this disorder is most likely secondary to a mutation on the X chromosome. To address this hypothesis and to identify candidate regions for the Rett syndrome gene locus, genotypic analysis was performed in two families with maternally related affected half-sisters by using 63 DNA markers from the X chromosome. Maternal and paternal X chromosomes from the affected sisters were separated in somatic cell hybrids and were examined for concordance/discordance of maternal alleles at the tested loci. Thirty-six markers were informative in at least one of the two families, and 25 markers were informative in both families. Twenty loci were excluded as candidates for the Rett syndrome gene, on the basis of discordance for maternal alleles in the half-sisters. Nineteen of the loci studied were chosen for multipoint linkage analysis because they have been previously genetically mapped using a large number of meioses from reference families. Using the exclusion criterion of a lod score less than -2, we were able to exclude the region between the Duchenne muscular dystrophy locus and the DXS456 locus. This region extends from Xp21.2 to Xq21-q23. The use of the multipoint linkage analysis approach outlined in this study should allow the exclusion of additional regions of the X chromosome as new markers are analyzed. This in turn will result in a defined region of the X chromosome that should be searched for candidate sequences for the Rett syndrome gene in both familial and sporadic cases. 相似文献
