Summary This paper presents three markers, 16D/E, pHMAI (DXS208), and CRI-L1391 (DXS274), that show close linkage for X-linked hypophosphataemic rickets (HYP). DXS274 is closely linked to HYP ( max= 0.00, Zmax = 4.20), and DXS41 (99.6), ( max= 0.00, Zmax = 5.20). Marker 16D/E maps distal to the disease locus ( max= 0.05, Zmax = 3.11). The pHMAI probe recognises the same restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) as 99.6. Multipoint analysis suggests that the most probable order of loci is Xpter-(DXS43, 16D/E)-HYP-DXS274-(DXS208, DXS41)-Xcen. The location of DXS274 distal to HYP cannot be excluded, as no recombinants were observed between DXS274 and HYP, or between DXS274 and DXS41/DXS208. One of the families contains a large number of recombinants, four of which are double recombinants. This most probably means that the disease in this family maps elsewhere on the X chromosome or on an autosome, indicating locus heterogeneity.  相似文献

Three polymorphic markers have been used to improve the genetic map of the region Xp22.1-p22.2, which contains the HYP (hypophosphataemic rickets) locus. DXS365 gave no recombinants with HYP, with a peak Lod score of 5.4 at = 0.0. A microsatellite marker mPA274 was derived for the DXS274 locus; it detects five alleles with a polymorphism information content of 0.55. Combining information from this microsatellite and the original DXS274 marker, probe CRI-L1391, the peak Lod score for DXS274 against HYP was 9.6 at = 0.02. A microsatellite associated with the DXS207 locus (mPA207) gave a peak lod score against HYP of 4.7 at = 0.14. A consideration of key recombinants and multilocus analysis suggests the gene order: Xpter-DXS207-DXS43-DXS197-(DXS365, HYP)-DXS274-DXS41-Xcen.  相似文献

The development of efficient methods for amplifying random DNA sequences by the polymerase chain reaction has created the basis for mapping virtually unlimited numbers of mixed-phase dominant DNA markers in one population. Although dominant markers can be efficiently mapped using many different kinds of matings, recombination frequencies and locus orders are often mis-estimated from repulsion F2 matings. The major problem with these matings, apart from excessive sampling errors of recombination frequency () estimates, is the bias of the maximum-likelihood estimator (MLE) of ( ML). when the observed frequency of double-recessive phenotypes is 0 and the observed frequency of double-dominant phenotypes is less than 2/3 — the bias for those samples is — . We used simulation to estimate the mean bias of ML. Mean bias is a function of n and and decreases as n increases. Valid maps of dominant markers can be built by using sub-sets of markers linked in coupling, thereby creating male and feamle coupling maps, as long as the maps are fairly dense (about 5 cM) — the sampling errors of increase as increases for coupling linkages and are equal to those for backcross matings when =0. The use of F2 matings for mapping dominant markers is not necessarily proscribed because they yield twice as many useful markers as a backcross population, albeit in two maps, for the same number of DNA extractions and PCR assays; however, dominant markers can be more effeciently exploited by using doubled-haploid, recombinant-inbred, or other inbred populations.  相似文献

Assignment of the gene for dyskeratosis congenita to Xq28   总被引:16,自引:0,他引:16  
Summary Dyskeratosis congenita is an X-linked recessive disorder with diagnostic dermatological features, bone marrow hypofunction, and a predisposition to neoplasia in early adult life. Linkage analysis was undertaken in an extensive family with the condition using the Xg blood group and 17 cloned X chromosomal DNA sequences which recognise restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs). No recombination was observed between the locus for dyskeratosis congenita (DKC) and the RFLPs identified by DXS52 (St 14-1) (Zmax=3.33 at max=0 with 95% confidence limits of 0 to 14 cM). Similarly no recombination was observed for the disease locus and F8 (Zmax=1.23 at max=0) nor for DXS15 (Zmax=1.62 at max=0), but both of these markers were only informative in part of the family whereas DXS52 was fully informative. DXS52, DXS15, and F8 are known to be tightly linked and have previously been assigned to Xq28. Thus the gene for dyskeratosis congenita can be assigned to Xq28. These DNA sequence polymorphisms will be of clinical value for carrier detection and prenatal diagnosis.  相似文献

A large inbred kindred from Pakistan in which an isolated type of split-hand/split-foot anomaly is transmitted as an X-chromosomal trait has previously been described. An X/autosomal translocation and an X-chromosomal rearrangement have been excluded by cytogenetic studies. In order to map the gene responsible for this disorder, linkage analysis has been performed by using 14 highly polymorphic DNA markers distributed over the whole X chromosome. Two-point linkage analysis between the disease locus and X-chromosomal marker loci gives maximal lod scores at = 0.00 with the loci DXS294 (Z max= 5.13) and HPRT (Z max= 4.43), respectively, suggesting that the gene for the X-chromosomal split-hand/split-foot anomaly is localized at Xq26–q26.1.  相似文献

Summary We report the characterization of a new eightallele microsatellite (D3S621) isolated from a human chromosome 3 library. Two-point and multi-locus genetic linkage analysis have shown D3S621 to co-segregate with the previously mapped RP4 ( m=0.12, Z m=4.34) and with other genetic markers on the long arm of the chromosome, including D3S14 (R208) ( m=0.00, Z m= 15.10), D3S47 (C17) ( m=0.11, Z m=4.95), Rho ( m= 0.07, Z m=1.37), D3S21 (L182) ( m=0.07, Z m=2.40) and D3S19 (U1) ( m=0.13, Z m=2.78). This highly informative marker, with a polymorphic information content of 0.78, should be of considerable value in the extension of linkage data for autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa with respect to locii on the long arm of chromosome 3.  相似文献

To study the influence of soil moisture on phosphorus (P) depletion in the rhizosphere, maize (Zea mays cv. Trak) was pre-grown in vermiculite filled-PVC tubes for 9 days and then the plants with the tubes were transplanted into soil columns maintained at two soil moisture levels () of 0.14 and 0.20 cm3 cm–3 for 10 days. The soil columns were separated at 1 cm depth by a nylon screen of 53 m inner mesh size, into 1 cm soil layer above and 3 cm soil column below screen. A root mat developed over the screen, but root hairs only could penetrate it. Regardless of the soil moisture level in the columns, and adequate and equal water and nutrients supply was maintained via wicks from an external nutrient solution to the plant roots in vermiculite. After 10 days, the soil columns were separated from the root mats, quickly frozen in liquid nitrogen and sliced into thin layers (0.2mm) using a refrigerated microtome to give soil samples at defined distances from the root mats for analyses. Lower soil moisture (=0.14) resulted in narrower and steeper depletion profile of 0.5 M NaHCO3 extractable P (NaHCO3-Pi) as compared to higher soil moisture (=0.20). Depletion of P in soil solution in the immediate vicinity of root mats did not differ much but the extension of the depletion zones was 0.10 cm at =0.14 and 0.20 cm at =0.20. The depletion up to 0.05cm with =0.14 and up to 0.07 cm with =0.20 was uniform, and may be attributed to the depletion in the root hair zone. Beyond the root hair zones, the theory of diffusion and mass flow was able to explain the observed differences in shape and extent of the P depletion profiles at the two soil moisture levels.  相似文献

Arrestin is a component of the light transduction cascade that takes place in the outer segment of retinal rods. In situ hybridization and linkage analysis have localized the arrestin gene to a region of 50 cM between CRYG and D2S23/D2S55 on chromosome 2q24–37. We have performed pairwise and multipoint linkage analysis between arrestin and four highly polymorphic markers from this region. The results indicate tight linkage between the gene and the microsatellite D2S172 (Z max = 9.25 at =0.038). This fine localization of the gene should provide a useful tool for cosegregation analyses involving the arrestin gene.  相似文献

Linkage relationship between retinoschisis and four marker loci   总被引:3,自引:1,他引:2  
Summary The linkage relationship between the locus for juvenile retinoschisis (RS) and four X-chromosomal marker loci DXS9 (RC8), DXS16 (XUT23), DXS41 (99-6), and DXS43 (D2) has been studied in six families showing a history of this disease. Recombination with RS was found for all marker loci except DXS9. The maximum lod score is =2.66 for RS vs. SXS9 at a recombination fraction of =0.0. Multipoint linkage analysis was performed and the locus order best supported by our data is: RS-DXS9-DXS43-DXS16-DXS41.  相似文献

Summary A crossflow-microscreen cultivation technique was successfully used to select and maintain an easily harvestable microbial culture with a limited number of species under non-aseptic conditions in diluted cheese whey. The microbial selective pressure exerted by the system could be manipulated by varying the hydraulic () and mean cell () residence times. The optimum system parameters were =1 h and =10 h, resulting in a selected microbial population comprising three species only, namely Geotrichum candidum, Streptococcus cremoris and Leuconostoc lactophilum. The amino acid profile of the SCP produced compared favourably with other types of protein. The crossflow-microscreen technique makes SCP production possible from dilute, waste organic effluents.  相似文献

Summary Three families with anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (AED) have been studied by linkage analysis with seven polymorphic DNA markers from the Xp11-q21 region. Previously reported linkage to DXYS1 (Xq13-q21) has been confirmed (z()=4.08 at =0.05) and we have also established linkage to another polymorphic locus, DXS159, located in Xq11-q12 (z()=4.28 at =0.05). Physical mapping places DSX159 proximal to the Xq12 breakpoint of an X autosome translocation found in a female with clinical signs of ectodermal dysplasia. Of all markers that have been used in linkage analysis of AED, DXS159 would appear the closest on the proximal side of the disease locus.  相似文献

DNA linkage analysis of X-linked retinoschisis   总被引:10,自引:2,他引:8  
Summary Four families with juvenile retionoschisis (RS) have been studied by linkage analysis utilizing eleven polymorphic X-chromosomal markers. The results suggest a close linkage between DXS43, DXS41, and DXS208 and the RS locus at Xp22. The RS locus is distal to the OTC locus, DXS84, and the DMD locus but proximal to DXS85. No recombination events were observed between the RS locus and DXS43 and DXS41. The maximum likelihood estimate of the recombination fraction () was thus zero and the peak lod scores () were 4.98 (DXS43) and 4.09 (DXS41). The linkage data suggest that the gene order on Xp is DXS85-(DXS43, RS, DXS41)-DMD-DXS84-OTC.  相似文献

Summary Following the observation of a patient suffering from tuberous sclerosis (TSC) with a de novo reciprocal translocation t(3;12)(p26.3;q23.3), we have undertaken a linkage study in 15 TSC families using polymorphic DNA markers neighbouring the chromosome breakpoints. Significant lod scores have been obtained for markers D12S7 (z max=2.34, =0.14) and PAH (phenylalanine hydroxylase) (z max=4.34, =0.0). In multipoint linkage analysis, the peak lod score was 4.56 at the PAH gene locus. These data suggest the existence of a third gene locus for TSC (TSC3) on chromosome 12q22-24.1. The regions that have been found to be linked to TSC in different families map to the positions of three enzymes, phenylalanine hydroxylase (12q22-24), tyrosinase (11q14-22), and dopamine-beta-hydroxylase (9q34), all of which are involved in the conversion of phenylalanine to catecholamine neurotransmitters or melanin. Disorders of these biochemical pathways might be involved in the pathogenesis of TSC.  相似文献

Summary Mycoplasmas (M. gallisepticum, chicken mycoplasmas), in concert with interferon (IFN), were effective in activating macrophages (M) to be tumoricidal. The M-activating capacity of mycoplasmas was maintained after treatment with heat, 0.1 M NaOH, 1 M HC1, or trypsin. M-activating factor was extracted from mycoplasmas with chloroform/methanol and water (Mf-B). Mf-B was also effective in activating M in the presence of IFN. The threshold dose of Mf-B for M of ordinary C3H/He mice and that for those of C3H/HeJ mice, the latter being known to be low responders to bacterial lipopolysaccharide, were actually the same. This seems to indicate that the effectiveness of Mf-B was not attributable to possibly contaminating lipopolysaccharides, and that the pathway of activity of Mf-B is different from that of lipopolysaccharides. Since the M-activating principle was only a very small part of Mf-B, we have not yet succeeded in identifying it, but there was no evidence that it was protein, nucleic acid, sugar, or lipid. The cytotoxicity of M activated by Mf-B plus IFN was dependent onl-arginine in the culture, suggesting that arginine metabolites are involved in M cytotoxicity. Mf-B induced a small amount of tumor necrosis factor in M, and this induction was markedly enhanced by IFN.  相似文献

Summary We report linkage studies in 18 choroideremia (TCD) families using four closely linked polymorphic markers. Probe pZ11, which is known to be deleted in several unrelated patients with TCD, showed no recombinations (z max 15.63 at = 0.00). In contrast, one recombination was observed with DXS367, which is also physically very close to TCD. Loci DXS95 and DXYS69 each showed more than one recombination with TCD. Moreover, these analyses revealed a double crossover between TCD and DXYS1, changing the previously reported very close linkage to a recombination fraction of 0.04 with a lod score of 9.93. Multipoint linkage analysis placed TCD proximal to DXS95-DXYS69 and very close to DXS367-pZ11 with almost identical multipoint lod score maxima either proximal to DXS367 (z max= 23.43) or proximal to pZ11 (z max=23.36). These results provide a refined linkage map around TCD and will also be useful in DNA diagnostics of the disease.  相似文献

The locus for Tyrosinase-Positive Oculocutaneous Albinism (ty-pos OCA) has not yet been localised. The search for the ty-pos OCA locus has included a search for linkage to candidate pigment loci and a candidate chromosomal region, as well as a random search using highly polymorphic markers in 42 families, including 271 individuals of whom 79 are affected. The lod scores for the tyrosinase (TYR) locus (11q14–q21), homologous to the albino locus, c, in the mouse and the CAS2/TRP1 locus (9p22-pter), homologous to the brown locus, b, in the mouse were -5.89 and -7.22, respectively, at a recombination fraction of =0.01, thus excluding them from being the ty-pos OCA locus. In the candidate chromosomal region, 11p, four loci (probes) were tested, SAA (pSAA82), CALC (pHC36), HBB (Gamma-globin haplotype) and an AC repeat polymorphism at the Wilm's Tumour locus (WT1). A portion of 11p was excluded with the following lod scores: pSAA82 lod=-2.05 at =0.10; pHC36 lod=-3.87 at =0.05; gamma-globin haplotype lod=-2.80 at =0.10; and WT1 lod=-2.34 at =0.10. Thirty-three polymorphic markers randomly distributed on 13 different chromosomes were all excluded from close linkage to ty-pos OCA.  相似文献

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a common autosomal recessive disorder resulting in loss of motor neurons. We have performed linkage analysis on a panel of families using nine markers that are closely linked to the SMA gene. The highest lod score was obtained with the marker D5S351 (Zmax = 10.04 at = 0 excluding two unlinked families, and Zmax = 8.77 at = 0.007 with all families). One type III family did not show linkage to the 5q13 markers, and in one type I consanguineous family the affected individual did not show homozygosity except for the marker D5S435. Three recombinants were identified with the closest centromeric marker, D5S435, which position the gene telomeric of this marker. These recombinants will facilitate finer mapping of the location of the SMA gene. Lastly, two families provide strong evidence for a remarkable variability in presentation of the SMA phenotype, with the age at onset in one family varying from 17 months to 13 years.  相似文献

Spatiotemporal organization of rhythmic and EEG components was studied by means of spectral-correlation analysis in seven- to eight-year-old children (n = 18) during anticipatory selective attention to sensory tactile and auditory stimuli. The topography of changes in coherence of the oscillations suggests that functional assemblies formed on the basis of the rhythm are modality-specific. Their centers are localized in respective sensory-specific cortical regions (central areas of both hemispheres during tactile attention and temporal areas during auditory attention). The functional integration on the basis of the rhythm is represented in both hemispheres by functional associations of the temporal, frontal, and (to a lesser extent) posterior associative areas independently of the modality of a relevant signal. Both types of the functional integration are significant for a correct solution of a perceptive task. The proposition that the cooperation of the - and systems in neuronal organization of voluntary attention ensure, respectively, its informational and motivational aspects.  相似文献

The order and recombination fractions () between the bovine major histocompatibility complex DRB3, DYA, and prolactin (PRL) genes were determined by typing of 254 sperm from a triply heterozygous bull. A recently developed method, primer extension preamplification (PEP), was used to amplify the bovine sperm genome prior to amplification of specific loci by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). At least 28 copies of the DRB3, PRL, or DYA gene were obtained from 50 cycles of PEP. For sperm typing, alleles of each locus were discriminated by restriction endonuclease cleavage of PCR products and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the restriction fragments. The most likely gene order is PRL-DRB3-DYA, with =0.025 (±0.012) and =0.150 (±0.024), respectively. The odds are 128:1 in favor of this order in comparison with the second most likely order DRB3-PRL-DYA. Our results demonstrate the power of sperm typing in concert with PEP for multilocus gene mapping.  相似文献
