Hybridization of GABAA receptor probes to human chromosomes in situ and to DNA from sorted human chromosomes has localized the genes encoding a beta subunit and three isoforms of the alpha subunit. The alpha 2 and beta genes are both located on chromosome 4 in bands p12-p13 and may be adjacent. The alpha 1 gene is on chromosome 5 (bands q34-q35) and the alpha 3 gene is on the X chromosome. The alpha 3 locus was mapped also on the mouse X chromosome using genetic break-point analysis in an interspecies pedigree. The combined results locate the human alpha 3 gene within band Xq28, in a location that makes it a candidate gene for the X-linked form of manic depression.  相似文献

Two genes encoding 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase were localized in human and rat chromosomes. PFKFB1 (previously PFRX), which encodes the liver and muscle isozymes, was assigned to Xq22-q31 in the rat and to Xq27-q28 in the human by in situ hybridization using probes generated by the polymerase chain reaction. PFKFB2, which encodes the heart isozyme of 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase, was assigned to chromosome 13 in the rat and to chromosome 1 in the human by hybridization of DNA from somatic cell hybrids. By in situ hybridization, this gene was localized to the regions 13q24-25 in the rat and 1q31 in the human.  相似文献

Summary A large kindred with the X-linked dominant form of peroneal muscular atrophy (Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease) was analyzed for individual variation in the length of DNA fragments after restriction endonuclease digestion. A systematic search was performed for linkage with a series of cloned single-copy DNA sequences of known regional assignment to the human X chromosome. Close linkage was found with the pDP34 probe (DXYS1 locus, Xq13-q21), suggesting that the gene responsible for the disease is located on the proximal long arm of the X chromosome.  相似文献

Cloned cDNAs representing the entire, homologous (80%) translated sequences of human phosphoribosylpyrophosphate synthetase (PRS) 1 and PRS 2 cDNAs were utilized as probes to localize the corresponding human PRPS1 and PRPS2 genes, previously reported to be X chromosome linked. PRPS1 and PRPS2 loci mapped to the intervals Xq22-q24 and Xp22.2-p22.3, respectively, using a combination of in situ chromosomal hybridization and human x rodent somatic cell panel genomic DNA hybridization analyses. A PRPS1-related gene or pseudogene (PRPS1L2) was also identified using in situ chromosomal hybridization at 9q33-q34. Human HPRT and PRPS1 loci are not closely linked. Despite marked cDNA and deduced amino acid sequence homology, human PRS 1 and PRS 2 isoforms are encoded by genes widely separated on the X chromosome.  相似文献

We investigated a family with a duplication, dup(X)q26-q27, that was present in two brothers, their mother, and their maternal grandmother. The brothers carrying the duplication displayed spina bifida and panhypopituitarism, whereas a third healthy brother inherited the normal X chromosome. Preferential inactivation of the X chromosome containing the duplication was evident in healthy carrier females. We determined the boundaries of the Xq26-q27 duplication. Via interphase FISH analysis we narrowed down each of the two breakpoint regions to approximately 300-kb intervals. The proximal breakpoint is located in Xq26.1 between DXS1114 and HPRT and is contained in YAC yWXD599, while the distal breakpoint is located in Xq27.3 between DXS369 and DXS1200 and contained in YAC yWXD758. The duplication comprises about 13 Mb. Evidence from the literature points to a predisposing gene for spina bifida in Xq27. We hypothesize that the spina bifida in the two brothers may be due to interruption of a critical gene in the Xq27 breakpoint region. Several candidate genes were mapped to the Xq27 critical region but none was shown to be disrupted by the duplication event. Recently, M. Lagerstr?m-Fermér et al. (1997, Am. J. Hum. Genet. 60, 910-916) reported on a family with X-linked recessive panhypopituitarism associated with a duplication in Xq26; however, no details were reported on the extent of the duplication. Our study corroborates their hypothesis that X-linked recessive panhypopituitarism is likely to be caused by a gene encoding a dosage-sensitive protein involved in pituitary development. We place the putative gene between DXS1114 and DXS1200, corresponding to the interval defined by the duplication in the present family.  相似文献

The human teratocarcinoma derived growth factor 1 (TDGF1) gene maps on chromosome (Chr) 3p21.3. One pseudogene (TDGF3) maps on Chr Xq21-->q22. We now report the nucleotide sequence and chromosome location of three additional TDGF pseudogenes. The three new sequences (TDGF2, TDGF4 and TDGF5) are truncated at the 5' end and have accumulated several point mutations, deletions and insertions. TDGF2, TDGF4 and TDGF6 map on Chrs 2q37, 6p25 and 3q22, respectively. Finally, Southern blot analysis of DNA from normal individuals shows a highly variable restriction pattern of the TDGF sequences.  相似文献

Repeated DNA sequences in the distal long arm of the human X chromosome   总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0  
Summary Two DNA probes from within a single large insert from a recombinant phage-DNA library that was constructed from flow-sorted chromosomes enriched for the human X chromosome were shown to hybridize with repeated X-specific and autosomal DNA sequences. The X-chromosomal repeated sequences were assigned to the distal long arm of the X chromosome by both hybrid mapping and in situ hybridization. Fine mapping places these repeats in a region of Xq28 between DX13 (DXS15, in distal Xq28) and factor VIII (F8C, in proximal Xq28). The location of the X-specific repeats makes them potentially useful for future investigations of discases mapping to the distal long arm of the X chromosome, such as the fragile X syndrome.  相似文献

Microdissection of the fragile X region.   总被引:5,自引:2,他引:5       下载免费PDF全文
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

Menkes syndrome is a rare X-linked recessive disorder characterized by an inability to metabolize copper. A female patient with both this disease and an X; autosome translocation with karyotype 46,X,t(X;2)(q13;q32.2) has previously been described. The translocation breakpoint in Xq13 coincides with a previous assignment of the Menkes gene at Xq13 by linkage data in humans and by analogy to the mottled mutations which are models for Menkes disease in the mouse. Therefore, this translocation probably interrupts the gene for Menkes syndrome in band Xq13. We describe here experiments to precisely map the translocation breakpoint within this chromosomal band. We have established a lymphoblastoid cell line from this patient and have used it to isolate the der(2) translocation chromosome (2pter----2q32::Xq13----Xqter) in human/hamster somatic cell hybrids. Southern blot analyses using a number of probes specific for chromosomes X and 2 have been studied to define precisely the location of the translocation breakpoint. Our results show that the breakpoint in this patient--and, therefore, likely the Menkes gene--maps to a small subregion of band Xq13.2-q13.3 proximal to the PGK1 locus and distal to all other Xq13 loci tested.  相似文献

Probes for CpG islands were cloned from the distal long arm of the human X chromosome; three of them were found to be polymorphic. A HindIII RFLP was identified by the probe 2-25 (DXS606), and it was mapped to the Xq27-Xq28 boundary. Probes 2-19 (DXS605) and 2-55 (DXS707), which identify EcoRI and MspI polymorphisms, respectively, have been mapped to the distal part of Xq28, in the G6PD-RCP/GCP gene region. Probe 2-19 has been further localized about 16 kb from the 3' end of the G6PD gene. The new RFLPs may be useful for the precise mapping of the many disease genes localized in this part of the human X chromosome. Probe 2-19 is highly informative, and it has been studied in greater detail. Using the methylation-sensitive rare-cutter enzyme EagI in conjunction with the polymorphic EcoRI site, we were able to demonstrate that the RFLP may be used both to study randomness of X chromosome inactivation and for carrier detection in X-linked syndromes where nonrandom X inactivation occurs. It is conceivable that the combined use of 2-19 and of the probes described so far (pSPT-PGK and M27 beta) will make analysis of X inactivation feasible in virtually every female.  相似文献

The human thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG) gene has been localized to X chromosome (Xq22.2) by in situ hybridization using a biotinylated gDNA probe. This is consistent with previous mapping of the TBG gene to chromosome Xq21-q22.  相似文献

Phosphorylase kinase (PHK), the enzyme that activates glycogen phosphorylases in muscle, liver, and other tissues, is composed of four different subunits. Recently isolated rabbit muscle cDNAs for the larger two subunits, alpha and beta, have been used to map the location of their cognate sequences on human chromosomes. Southern blot analysis of rodent x human somatic cell hybrid panels, as well as in situ chromosomal hybridization, have provided evidence of single sites for both genes. The alpha subunit gene (PHKA) is located on the proximal long arm of the X chromosome in region Xq12-q13 near the locus for phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK1). X-linked mutations leading to PHK deficiency, known to exist in humans and mice, are likely to involve this locus. This hypothesis is consistent with the proximity of the Phk and Pgk-1 loci on the mouse X chromosome. In contrast, the beta subunit gene (PHKB) was found to be autosomal and was mapped to chromosome 16, region q12-q13 on the proximal long arm. Several different autosomally inherited forms of PHK deficiency for which the PHKB could be a candidate gene have been described in humans and rats.  相似文献

Xq24-q28 DNA, from a hamster/human hybrid cell containing only that portion of the human X chromosome, was found to contain 56 TaqI restriction fragments that hybridized to the moderately repetitive sequence pTR5. Using the pTR5 sequence as a probe in colony hybridization, 136 cognate yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) clones were detected among a collection of 820 containing about three genomic equivalents of the Xq24-q28 DNA. The YACs were then grouped into 48 contigs and single clones containing one or more of the TaqI fragments. Overlaps were confirmed both by fingerprinting YACs with AluI and L1 probes and by additional information. A less complete analysis was also carried out with a second moderately repetitive sequence, LF1, and some smaller contigs were merged into larger ones. Moderately repetitive sequences can thus be used as probes for multiple loci in single hybridization experiments and can help to organize and confirm YAC overlaps during the development of maps with long-range contiguity.  相似文献

We report a Turner patient aged 22 years with a 45,X/46,X,del(X)(q23) karyotype. Late replication studies showed preferential inactivation of the deleted X chromosome; FISH studies with a probe for total human telomeres showed hybridisation signal in the telomeres on both the normal and the deleted X chromosomes. Microsatellite analysis in the proposita and her family permitted us to conclude to the maternal origin of the deleted X chromosome, and to detect using the marker DXS1106 (Xq22) a probable meiotic recombination event above the breakage point suggesting that the deletion occurred underneath this point.The mild Turner stigmata may be explained by the 45,X cell line, and the gonadal dysgenesis probably by a partial deletion of the gonadal dysgenesis region Xq13-q23 (excluding Xq22).  相似文献

Summary During a systematic chromosomal survey of 167 unrelated boys with the X-linked recessive Menkes disease (MIM 309400), a unique rearrangement of the X chromosome was detected, involving an insertion of the long arm segment Xq13.3-q21.2 into the short arm at band Xp11.4, giving the karyotype 46,XY,ins(X) (p11.4q13.3q21.2). The same rearranged X chromosome was present de novo in the subject's phenotypically normal mother, where it was preferentially inactivated. The restriction fragment length polymorphism and methylation patterns at DXS255 indicated that the rearrangement originated from the maternal grandfather. Together with a previously described X;autosomal translocation in a female Menkes patient, the present finding supports the localization of the Menkes locus (MNK) to Xq13, with a suggested fine mapping to sub-band Xq13.3. This localization is compatible with linkage data in both man and mouse. The chromosomal bend associated with the X-inactivation center (XIC) was present on the proximal long arm of the rearranged X chromosome, in line with a location of XIC proximal to MNK. Combined data suggest the following order: Xcen-XIST(XIC), DXS128-DXS171, DXS56-MNK-PGK1-Xqter.  相似文献

We report the isolation and characterization of the human gene encoding islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP). Previously characterized cDNA sequences correspond to three exons of which the first is noncoding. A functional promoter region was identified in the 5' flanking DNA; however, this was farther upstream than expected. Northern blot analysis of human insulinoma RNA revealed three IAPP mRNAs of sizes 1.2, 1.8 and 2.1 kb, in agreement with three polyadenylation signals present in the 3' end of the gene. In situ hybridization to metaphase chromosomes resulted in two distinct peaks on chromosome 12, at 12p12-p13 and 12q13-q14. Southern blot analysis of genomic DNA suggested a single IAPP locus but also indicated the presence of additional homologous sequences in human genomic DNA.  相似文献

A method was recently developed for the specific amplification of human DNA sequences from interspecific somatic cell hybrids by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using primers directed to Alu, a short interspersed repeat element (SINE). We now show human-specific amplification using a primer to the 3' end of the human long interspersed repeat element L1Hs (LINE). A monochromosomal hybrid containing an intact human X chromosome yielded approximately 25 discrete products, ranging in size from 800 to 4500 bp. Combination of a single Alu primer and the L1Hs primer yielded a large number of smaller products (300-1000 bp) distinct from those observed with either primer alone. Inspection of ethidium bromide-stained gels showed one Alu-Alu and three Alu-L1Hs products which were present in an intact X chromosome but absent in a hybrid containing an X chromosome deleted for the single metaphase band q28. These four fragments were isolated from the gel and used as probes on Southern blots which confirmed their localization to Xq28. These results demonstrate that primers can be constructed to a variety of interspersed repetitive sequences (IRS) and used individually or in combination for the rapid isolation of DNA fragments from defined chromosomal regions by IRS-PCR.  相似文献

Aldose reductase (alditol:NAD(P)+ 1-oxidoreductase; EC 1.1.1.21) (AR) catalyzes the reduction of several aldehydes, including that of glucose, to the corresponding sugar alcohol. Using a complementary DNA clone encoding human AR, we mapped the gene sequences to human chromosomes 1, 3, 7, 9, 11, 13, 14, and 18 by somatic cell hybridization. By in situ hybridization analysis, sequences were localized to human chromosomes 1q32-q42, 3p12, 7q31-q35, 9q22, 11p14-p15, and 13q14-q21. As a putative functional AR gene has been mapped to chromosome 7 and a putative pseudogene to chromosome 3, the sequences on the other seven chromosomes may represent other active genes, non-aldose reductase homologous sequences, or pseudogenes.  相似文献
