Chromosomal region 2p15-p16, which corresponds to the genetic interval flanked by polymorphic markers D2S119 and D2S378 and covers a genetic distance of approximately 16 cM, is underrepresented in the existing maps of chromosome 2. This is primarily due to two large gaps of unknown physical distance within the known yeast and bacterial artificial chromosome (YAC and BAC, respectively) maps. In constructing a YAC/BAC contig covering 2p15-p16, a total of 55 sequence-tagged sites (25 of which are polymorphic), including new sequences derived from chromosomal walking, and 38 expressed sequence tags were screened by a commercially available RH panel (Stanford G3). A total of 45 of these sequences were placed; 32 of them were assigned at unique sites. The high-resolution TNG3 RH panel was then used to define further the chromosomal order of markers contained in the region flanked by D2S391 and D2S2153. This region harbors the genes for two autosomal dominant disorders, Carney complex (CNC), a multiple neoplasia syndrome, and Doyne honeycomb retinal dystrophy (DHRD), a disease leading to blindness at a young age. This is the first attempt to order cloned sequences in chromosomal region 2p15-p16, an area apparently resistant to YAC cloning. Construction of the 2p15-p16 RH map is critical for identifying the genes responsible for CNC and DHRD, as well as for the molecular elucidation of a chromosomal region that is frequently rearranged in tumors. 相似文献

The human parathyroid hormone gene (PTH) was mapped to the 11p15 chromosomal band by in situ hybridization. Using the same procedures and cells, the closely linked beta-hemoglobin gene (HBB), the Harvey-ras 1 proto-oncogene (HRAS1), and the insulin gene (INS) were also mapped to this same region. Some reports have demonstrated differences in regional localization of the latter three genes, and linkage and molecular studies have not resolved how far this linkage group extends from p15 toward the centromere on the physical gene map. Our results show that all of these genes are localized at 11p15, a region of one chromosomal band that appears to comprise a genetic distance of more than 20 cM. 相似文献

The first step of cytogenetic analysis of Drosophila melanogaster chromosome 2 44F-45D containing the radiosensitivity gene rad(2)201 is described. Using various mutation selection systems as well as lines of different origin and two kinds of ionizing radiation--gamma-rays and neutrons--the mutagenesis in the region of interest is characterized at the cytogenetic level. 85 gamma-induced mutations affecting viability were isolated in the 44F 2-4; 45C6-7 interval, 27% of mutations being chromosomal aberrations. 15 radiation-induced aberrations were obtained by selecting mutations at the white gene inserted into the 45D region by P-mediated transformation. The 44F-45D region is characterized by relatively low frequency of deficiency formation and by significant predomination of heterochromatic aberrations in the spectrum of rearrangements. In these regions, the existence of hot spots for heterochromatic aberrations was discovered. As low deletion frequency is not connected with the presence of haplolethal and haplosterile loci in the region studied, the unusual character of radiation mutagenesis reflects possibly the peculiarities in sequence organization of the chromosomal region mentioned or the packaging in the sperm nuclei. 相似文献

We recently described an autosomal dominant inclusion-body myopathy characterized by congenital joint contractures, external ophthalmoplegia, and predominantly proximal muscle weakness. A whole-genome scan, performed with 161 polymorphic markers and with DNA from 40 members of one family, indicated strong linkage for markers on chromosome 17p. After analyses with additional markers in the region and with DNA from eight additional family members, a maximum LOD score (Zmax) was detected for marker D17S1303 (Zmax=7.38; recombination fraction (theta)=0). Haplotype analyses showed that the locus (Genome Database locus name: IBM3) is flanked distally by marker D17S945 and proximally by marker D17S969. The positions of cytogenetically localized flanking markers suggest that the location of the IBM3 gene is in chromosome region 17p13.1. Radiation hybrid mapping showed that IBM3 is located in a 2-Mb chromosomal region and that the myosin heavy-chain (MHC) gene cluster, consisting of at least six genes, co-localizes to the same region. This localization raises the possibility that one of the MHC genes clustered in this region may be involved in this disorder. 相似文献

We have previously isolated and characterized murine MYB binding protein (p160) 1a, a protein that specifically interacts with the leucine zipper motif within the negative regulatory domain of the c-Myb proto-oncoprotein. We now describe the molecular cloning of the human MYBBP1A cDNA and chromosomal localization to 17p13.3 by fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis. Given the likely presence of a tumor suppressor gene (or genes) within this region of chromosome 17, the position of MYBBP1A was further mapped by radiation hybrid analysis and was found to lie between markers D17S1828 and D17S938. A P1 artificial chromosome clone containing the 5' region of MYBBP1A was isolated and indicates a physical linkage between MYBBP1A and the 15-lipoxygenase gene (ALOX15). A novel, polymorphic (CA)(25) dinucleotide repeat was also isolated from this PAC and may serve as a useful marker for MYBBP1A and this region of chromosome 17. 相似文献

Linkage analysis was performed on a large Danish family to refine the position of RP18, the locus for autosomal dominant retinitis
pigmentosa, mapped previously between D1S534 and D1S305 in chromosome 1p13–q21. We genotyped the family members for five microsatellite-type
DNA polymorphisms and mapped RP18 between D1S422 and D1S2858 to a region of less than 2 cM. No obvious candidate gene has
yet been assigned to the chromosomal interval defined here.

In contrast to Drosophila melanogaster and Drosophila simulans, the yellow (y) gene region of Drosophila subobscura is not located in a region with a strong reduction in recombination. In addition, this gene maps very close to the breakpoints of different inversions that segregate as polymorphic in natural populations of D. subobscura. Therefore, levels of variation at the y gene region in this species relative to those found in D. melanogaster and D. simulans may be affected not only by the change in the recombinational environment, but also by the presence of inversion polymorphism. To further investigate these aspects, an approximately 5.4-kb region of the A (=X) chromosome including the y gene was sequenced in 25 lines of D. subobscura and in the closely related species Drosophila madeirensis and Drosophila guanche. The D. subobscura lines studied differed in their A-chromosomal arrangements, A(st), A(2), and A(1). Unlike in D. melanogaster and D. simulans, levels of variation at the y gene region of D. subobscura are not reduced relative to those found at other genomic regions in the same species (rp49, Acp70A, and Acph-1). This result supports the effect of the change in the recombinational environment of a particular gene on the level of neutral variation. In addition, nucleotide variation is affected by chromosomal polymorphism. A strong genetic differentiation is detected between the A(1) arrangement and either A(st) or A(2), but not between A(st) and A(2). This result is consistent with the location of the y gene relative to the breakpoints of inversions A(1) and A(2). In addition, the pattern of nucleotide polymorphism in A(st)+A(2) and A(1) seems to point out that variation at the y gene region within these chromosomal classes is in the phase transient to equilibrium. The estimated ages of these arrangements assuming a star genealogy indicate that their origin cannot predate the D. madeirensis split. Therefore, the present results are consistent with a chromosomal phylogeny where Am(1), which is an arrangement present in D. madeirensis but absent in current populations of D. subobscura, would be the ancestral arrangement. 相似文献

Sequences related to the neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) gene have been identified on several human chromosomes. In the centromeric
region of chromosomes 14 and 15, two NF1 pseudogenes have been described. Sequence comparison between NF1-related exons amplified
from two yeast artificial chromosome clones hybridizing to chromosomal region 15q11.2 and published NF1-related sequences
localized at 15q11.2 suggested that a third NF1 pseudogene resides in this chromosomal region. The previous localization of
an NF1-related locus to the telomeric part of chromosome 15 could not be confirmed by us. Our findings further support pericentromeric
spreading of partial NF1 gene copies at chromosome 15q11.2 during evolution.

Tyrosinase-positive oculocutaneous albinism (ty-pos OCA), an autosomal recessive disorder of the melanin biosynthetic pathway, is the most common type of albinism occurring worldwide. In southern African Bantu-speaking negroids it has an overall prevalence of about 1/3,900. Since the basic biochemical defect is unknown, a linkage study with candidate loci, candidate chromosomal regions, and random loci was undertaken. The ty-pos OCA locus was found to be linked to two arbitrary loci, D15S10 and D15S13, in the Prader-Willi/Angelman chromosomal region on chromosome 15q11.2-q12. The pink-eyed dilute locus, p, on mouse chromosome 7, maps close to a region of homology on human chromosome 15q, and we postulate that the ty-pos OCA and p loci are homologous. 相似文献

Chromosomes from 20 patients were used to delineate the breakpoints of inverted duplications of chromosome 15 (inv dup[15]) that include the Prader-Willi syndrome/Angelman syndrome (PWS/AS) chromosomal region (15q11-q13). YAC and cosmid clones from 15q11-q14 were used for FISH analysis, to detect the presence or absence of material on each inv dup(15). We describe two types of inv dup(15): those that break between D15S12 and D15S24, near the distal boundary of the PWS/AS chromosomal region, and those that share a breakpoint immediately proximal to D15S1010. Among the latter group, no breakpoint heterogeneity could be detected with the available probes, and one YAC (810f11) showed a reduced signal on each inv dup(15), compared with that on normal chromosomes 15. The lack of breakpoint heterogeneity may be the result of a U-type exchange involving particular sequences on either homologous chromosomes or sister chromatids. Parent-of-origin studies revealed that, in all the cases analyzed, the inv dup(15) was maternal in origin. 相似文献

We have used a new approach involving in situ hybridisation and electron microscopy to establish ultrastructural homologies
between polytene chromosome regions of Drosophila melanogaster and Drosophila subobscura. Twelve probes were chosen to cover all the chromosomal elements: the myospheroid gene, the collagen type IV gene, the collagen-like gene, the w26 homeobox gene, the β3 tubulin gene, the kinesin heavy chain gene, the tryptophan hydrolase gene, the Hsp82, Hsp22–26 and Hsp23–28, Hsp68, Hsp70 genes and the β unit of the F0–F1 ATPase gene. Most of these loci were previously undescribed in D. subobscura and imprecisely located in D. melanogaster. We have demonstrated here, by an ultrastructural analysis of each chromosomal region, that homologous genetic loci tend
to show a similar ultrastructure in the two species. With a few exceptions, the structural homology extends to the chromosomal
regions surrounding the loci. In some cases, however, no structurally recognisable homology can be seen either in the locus
or in its flanking regions.

Deletion of chromosome 10 is one of the most common chromosomal alterations in glioma. At 10p15, the telomeric region of the short arm of chromosome 10, loss of heterozygosity (LOH) has been frequently observed by microsatellite analysis, suggesting the presence of a tumor suppressor gene. We examined LOH in 34 gliomas on chromosome 10, and frequent LOH on 10p was detected on 10p15, in agreement with deletion mapping studies on chromosome 10. We then constructed a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clone contig covering the critical region, which spanned the interval between D10S249 and D10S533 on 10p15. The map contained 68 BAC clones connected by 74 sequenced tag sites (STSs) and covered approximately 2.7 Mb, with one gap. A total of 74 STSs, including 6 microsatellite markers, 29 expressed sequenced tags (ESTs), and 39 BAC end STSs, were physically arranged. Twenty-eight ESTs were mapped in the interval between D10S249 and D10S559 (approximately 1200 kb), and another EST was mapped in the interval between D10S559 and D10S533 (approximately 1300 kb). This sequence-ready BAC clone contig map will be a basic resource for high-quality sequencing and positional cloning of the putative tumor suppressor gene at 10p15 in glioma. 相似文献

We recently reported the isolation of human β-defensin-2 (hBD-2), a novel epithelia-derived peptide antibiotic belonging to the β-defensin family. hBD-2 is expressed in skin and epithelia of the airway system, where it is believed to contribute to its antimicrobial defense. By fluorescencein situhybridization using a hBD-2 genomic DNA probe and subsequent fluorescence R-banding, the hBD-2 gene (HGMW-approved symbol DEFB2) was assigned to human chromosome region 8p22–p23.1. PCR with a set of CEPH YAC clones spanning this chromosomal region revealed CEPH YACs 773G4, 920D12, and 820B4 to contain the hBD-2 gene. Relying on the preexisting physical maps of 8p22–p23.1, the hBD-2 gene was mapped in close proximity to D8S1993 (WI-9956) within the interval flanked by D8S552 and D8S1130 (CHLC.GATA25C10). The fact that all currently described genes encoding defensins map to chromosome 8p21–pter suggests that a gene cluster in this chromosomal region may play a major role in antimicrobial defense. 相似文献

Nuclear localization influences the expression of certain genes. Chromosomal rearrangements can reposition genes in the nucleus
and thus could impact the expression of genes far from chromosomal breakpoints. However, the extent to which chromosomal rearrangements
influence nuclear organization and gene expression is poorly understood. We examined mouse progenitor B cell lymphomas with
a common translocation, der(12)t(12;15), which fuses a gene-rich region of mouse chromosome12 (Mmu12) with a gene-poor region
of mouse chromosome15 (Mmu15). We found that sequences 2.3 Mb proximal and 2.7 Mb distal to the der(12)t(12;15) breakpoint
had different nuclear positions measured relative to the nuclear radius. However, their positions were similar on unrearranged
chromosomes in the same tumor cells and normal progenitor B cells. In addition, higher-order chromatin folding marked by three-dimensional
gene clustering was not significantly altered for the 7 Mb of Mmu15 sequence distal to this translocation breakpoint. Translocation
also did not correspond to significant changes in gene expression in this region. Thus, any changes to Mmu15 structure and
function imposed by the der(12)t(12;15) translocation are constrained to sequences near (<2.5 Mb) the translocation junction.
These data contrast with those of certain other chromosomal rearrangements and suggest that significant changes to Mmu15 sequence
are structurally and functionally tolerated in the tumor cells examined. 相似文献

In situ hybridization of cloned rRNA genes from Drosophila melanogaster to D. simulans metaphase chromosomes shows that in the tested wild type strains both sex chromosomes contain a nucleolus organizer region. Silver grain counts support the published data that the X chromosomal rRNA gene number is significantly higher than the Y chromosomal. 相似文献

Constitutional and somatic chromosomal abnormalities of the chromosome 11p15 region are involved in an overgrowth malformation syndrome, the Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS), and in several types of associated tumors. The bias in parental origin for the different etiologic forms of this syndrome and for loss of heterozygosity in the tumors suggests that a gene (or genes) mapping to this region undergoes genomic imprinting. However, the precise localization of the locus (or loci) for the BWS and associated tumors is still unknown and more markers are required. We therefore isolated 11p15 markers from two libraries: the first one obtained by microdissection of the chromosome 11p15.5 region and the second one, a phage library, constructed from a hybrid cell line containing this region as its sole human DNA. Of 19 microclones isolated from the microdissection library, 11 were evolutionarily conserved. Four phage clones were isolated; one (D11S774) detected a highly informative variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) and another (D11S773) a biallelic polymorphism. These clones were sublocalized using a panel of somatic cell hybrids that defines eight physical intervals in 11p15.5. Twenty-one clones map to the distal interval that harbors the BWS locus. 相似文献

Developmental dyslexia, or reading disability, is a multigenic complex disease for which at least five loci, i.e. DYX1–3 and DYX5–6, have been clearly identified from the human genome. To date, DYX1C1 is the only dyslexia candidate gene cloned. We have previously reported linkage to 2p11 and 7q32 in 11 Finnish pedigrees. Here, we report the fine mapping of the approximately 40-cM linked region from chromosome 2 as we increased marker density to one per 1.8 cM. Linkage was supported with the highest NPL score of 3.0 (P=0.001) for marker D2S2216. Association analysis using the six pedigrees showing linkage pointed to marker D2S286/rs3220265 (P value <0.001) in the near vicinity of D2S2216. We went on to further characterise this ~15-cM candidate region (D2S2110-D2S2181) by adding six SNPs covering ~670 kb centred at D2S286/rs3220265. A haplotype pattern could no longer be observed in this region, which was therefore excluded from the candidate area. This also excluded the TACR1 (tachykinin receptor 1) gene, located at marker D2S286. The dyslexia candidate region on 2p11 is, therefore, now limited to the chromosomal area D2S2116-D2S2181, which is ~12 Mbp of human sequence and is at a distinct location from the previously reported DYX3 locus, raising the possibility of two distinct loci on chromosome 2p.H.
