The gene GAD2 encoding the glutamic acid decarboxylase enzyme (GAD65) is a positional candidate gene for obesity on Chromosome 10p11–12, a susceptibility locus for morbid obesity in four independent ethnic populations. GAD65 catalyzes the formation of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), which interacts with neuropeptide Y in the paraventricular nucleus to contribute to stimulate food intake. A case-control study (575 morbidly obese and 646 control subjects) analyzing GAD2 variants identified both a protective haplotype, including the most frequent alleles of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) +61450 C>A and +83897 T>A (OR = 0.81, 95% CI [0.681–0.972], p = 0.0049) and an at-risk SNP (−243 A>G) for morbid obesity (OR = 1.3, 95% CI [1.053–1.585], p = 0.014). Furthermore, familial-based analyses confirmed the association with the obesity of SNP +61450 C>A and +83897 T>A haplotype (χ2 = 7.637, p = 0.02). In the murine insulinoma cell line βTC3, the G at-risk allele of SNP −243 A>G increased six times GAD2 promoter activity (p < 0.0001) and induced a 6-fold higher affinity for nuclear extracts. The −243 A>G SNP was associated with higher hunger scores (p = 0.007) and disinhibition scores (p = 0.028), as assessed by the Stunkard Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire. As GAD2 is highly expressed in pancreatic β cells, we analyzed GAD65 antibody level as a marker of β-cell activity and of insulin secretion. In the control group, −243 A>G, +61450 C>A, and +83897 T>A SNPs were associated with lower GAD65 autoantibody levels (p values of 0.003, 0.047, and 0.006, respectively). SNP +83897 T>A was associated with lower fasting insulin and insulin secretion, as assessed by the HOMA-B% homeostasis model of β-cell function (p = 0.009 and 0.01, respectively). These data support the hypothesis of the orexigenic effect of GABA in humans and of a contribution of genes involved in GABA metabolism in the modulation of food intake and in the development of morbid obesity. 相似文献

We have used a panel of somatic cell hybrids containing different rearrangements of human chromosome 13 to integrate genetic and physical maps of this chromosome. The positions of 17 translocation/deletion breakpoints on human chromosome 13 have been determined relative to the microsatellite markers on the genetic linkage map compiled by Généthon. Because markers on maps from several other Consortium groups have also been analyzed using many of the same hybrids, it was possible to relate these with the Généthon map. The position of all of the chromosome breakpoints have been placed, wherever possible, between two adjacent markers on the genetic linkage maps using PCR analysis for the presence/absence of the markers in the somatic cell hybrids. The positions of the breakpoints have already been determined cytogenetically, and some of these breakpoints are located at landmark positions on the chromosome. The relative density of markers along the chromosome differs between independently derived maps, and, based on the known locations of certain breakpoints in the physical map, inconsistencies in the genetic maps have been identified. 相似文献

Using a panel of patient cell lines with chromosomal breakpoints, we constructed a physical map for the short arm of human chromosome 11. We focused on 11p15, a chromosome band harboring at least 25 known genes and associated with the Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, several childhood tumors, and genomic imprinting. This underlines the need for a physical map for this region. We divided the short arm of chromosome 11 into 18 breakpoint regions, and a large series of new and previously described genes and markers was mapped within these intervals using fluorescence in situ hybridization. Cosmid fingerprint analysis showed that 19 of these markers were included in cosmid contigs. A detailed 10-Mb pulsed-field physical map of the region 11p15.3-pter was constructed. These three different approaches enabled the high-resolution mapping of 210 markers, including 22 known genes. 相似文献

The gene encoding the somatostatin receptor subtype designated as SSTR5 was mapped to human chromosome 20p11.2 by using fluorescence in situ hybridization to metaphase chromosomes. Fluorescence in situ hybridization using a probe for SSTR5 in combination with probes for neuroendocrine convertase-2 (NEC2), thrombomodulin (THBD), and brain glycogen phosphorylase (PYGB) established a physical order for these loci of 20pter-NEC2-SSTR5-THBD-PYGB-cen. 相似文献

ELA1, the pancreatic elastase 1 gene, is conserved in mammalian genomes. ELA1 was previously mapped to chromosome 12 using a panel of mouse–human somatic cell hybrids. We now report the physical and cytogenetic localization of the ELA1 gene. On the physical map, ELA1 is adjacent to the polymorphic marker AFMa283yg1 and between D12S361 and D12S347. Using fluorescencein situhybridization, we determined that ELA1 maps to 12q13. 相似文献

Cardiovascular malformations and cardiomyopathy are among the most common phenotypes caused by deletions of chromosome 1p36 which affect approximately 1 in 5000 newborns. Although these cardiac-related abnormalities are a significant source of morbidity and mortality associated with 1p36 deletions, most of the individual genes that contribute to these conditions have yet to be identified. In this paper, we use a combination of clinical and molecular cytogenetic data to define five critical regions for cardiovascular malformations and two critical regions for cardiomyopathy on chromosome 1p36. Positional candidate genes which may contribute to the development of cardiovascular malformations associated with 1p36 deletions include DVL1, SKI, RERE, PDPN, SPEN, CLCNKA, ECE1, HSPG2, LUZP1, and WASF2. Similarly, haploinsufficiency of PRDM16–a gene which was recently shown to be sufficient to cause the left ventricular noncompaction–SKI, PRKCZ, RERE, UBE4B and MASP2 may contribute to the development of cardiomyopathy. When treating individuals with 1p36 deletions, or providing prognostic information to their families, physicians should take into account that 1p36 deletions which overlie these cardiac critical regions may portend to cardiovascular complications. Since several of these cardiac critical regions contain more than one positional candidate gene–and large terminal and interstitial 1p36 deletions often overlap more than one cardiac critical region–it is likely that haploinsufficiency of two or more genes contributes to the cardiac phenotypes associated with many 1p36 deletions. 相似文献

A fine physical map of Arabidopsis thaliana chromosome 5 wasconstructed by ordering the clones from YAC, P1, TAC and BAClibraries of the genome using the sequences of a variety ofgenetic and EST markers and terminal sequences of clones. Themarkers used were 88 genetic markers, 13 EST markers, 87 YACend probes, 100 YAC subclone end probes, and 390 end probesof P1, TAC and BAC clones. The entire genome of chromosome 5,except for the centromeric and telomeric regions, was coveredby two large contigs 11.6 Mb and 14.2 Mb long separated by thecentromeric region. The minimum tiling path of the chromosomewas constituted by a total of 430 P1, TAC and BAC clones. Themap information is available at the Web site http://www.kazusa.or.jp/arabi/. 相似文献

Alagille syndrome (AGS) is a clinically defined disorder characterized by cholestatic liver disease with bile duct paucity, peculiar facies, structural heart defects, vertebral anomalies, and ocular abnormalities. Multiple patients with various cytogenetic abnormalities involving 20p12 have been identified, allowing the assignment of AGS to this region. The presence of interstitial deletions of varying size led to the hypothesis that AGS is a contiguous gene deletion syndrome. This molecular analysis of cytogenetically normal AGS patients was performed in order to test this hypothesis and to refine the localization of the known AGS region. Investigation of inheritance of simple tandem repeat polymorphism alleles in 67 members of 24 cytogenetically normal Alagille families led to the identification of a single submicroscopic deletion. The deletion included loci D20S61, D20S41, D20S186, and D20S188 and presumably intervening uninformative loci D20S189 and D20S27. The six deleted loci are contained in a single YAC of 1.9 Mb. The additional finding of multiple unrelated probands who are heterozygous at each locus demonstrates that microdeletions at known loci within the AGS region are rare in cytogenetically normal patients with this disorder. This suggests that the majority of cases of AGS may be the result of a single gene defect rather than a contiguous gene deletion syndrome. 相似文献

The centromeric part of chromosome segment 11p15.5 contains a region of frequent allele loss in many adult solid malignancies. This region, called LOH11A, is lost in 75% of lung cancers and is thought to contain a gene that may function as a metastasis suppressor. Genetic complementation studies have shown suppression of the malignant phenotype including reduction of metastasis formation. We constructed a high-resolution physical map and contig over 1.4 Mb that includes the β-hemoglobin gene cluster and the gene for the large subunit of ribonucleotide reductase (RRM1). Through sequencing and computerized analysis, we determined that this region contains an unusually large number of transposable elements, which suggests that double-stranded DNA breaks occur frequently here. Twenty-two putative genes were identified. Because of its location at the site of maximal allele loss in the 650-kb LOH11A region and previous functional studies, RRM1 is the most likely candidate gene with metastasis suppressor function. The malignant phenotype, in this case, results from a relative loss of function rather than a complete loss. 相似文献

A water-soluble polysaccharide, FI, extracted from the mycelium of Granoderma tsugae, was fractionated and purified by ion-exchange chromatography, gel filtration, and affinity chromatography. Sixteen polysaccharides obtained were examined for antitumor effects on Sarcoma 180 in mice.The three active polysaccharides obtained were as follows:FI0-a: A glycan-protein complex containing 9.3% protein, and having a hetero-glyco-chain of mannose and xylose.FI0-b-α: Molecular weight 10,000, glucan-protein complex containing 25.8% protein. The inhibition ratio was 61.8% against the solid cancer Sarcoma 180/mice; the survival ratio was more than 194% of the control group (100).FA-1-b-α: Molcular weight 16,000, a complex of glycan: protein = 42:58 w/w, consisting of glucose as a main component, and associated with arabinose, mannose, xylose, and galactose. This had a tumor inhibition ratio of 56% and a survival ratio of more than 182%.Comparison of active glycan with the fruiting body and mycelium: Among water-soluble polysaccharides of fruiting body, FI0-a and FA-1, with antitumor activity, were both glucogalactan-protein complexes of molecular weight 10,000, but that of mycelium was a homoglucan protein complex in FI0-b-α and heteroglucan protein in both FA-l-a and FA-l-b-α. The heteroglucan had a low tumor inhibition ratio, but caused a high survival ratio in mice. 相似文献

Notch proteins are a family of closely related transmembrane receptors proven to be instrumental in cell fate decisions. Recently, Notch ligands Delta and Jagged have been identified inDrosophilaand rat, respectively. We have isolated the human homolog of the ratJagged1gene,JAG1,from a CpG island in a YAC clone covering the Alagille syndrome critical region at chromosome 20p12 (tel–SNAP–D20S186–cen). Alagille syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by neonatal jaundice, paucity of intrahepatic bile ducts, and abnormalities of the heart, skeleton, and eyes. The humanJagged1(JAG1), therefore, appears to be a strong candidate gene for this disease. Here we describe the identification, full-length cDNA cloning, expression patterns, and precise physical location of this gene within the Alagille syndrome critical region. 相似文献

Alagille syndrome (AGS) or arteriohepatic dysplasia is a rare but well-defined clinical entity that is usually inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. A limited number of patients carry a deletion in chromosome 20p, with 20p11.23-p12.2 as the area of minimal overlap. Recently, a family has been identified in which a balanced translocation with a breakpoint in 20p12 co-segregates with the AGS phenotype. Here, we report a three-generation family with AGS and in which the affected members have a normal karyotype. Linkage analysis was performed with markers from the 20p candidate region. A lod score of Z=2.96 was obtained with D20S27 at no recombination. Combining D20S27 and D20S61 to a single highly informative locus resulted in a maximum lod score of Z=+3.56 at =0.0. Haplotype analysis positioned AGS between D20S59 and D20S65, markers that define an interval of about 40 cM. Allelic loss was not observed for the tested markers and no abnormalities in the PAX1 candidate gene were detected. These findings demonstrate that the locus on chromosome 20p could be responsible for AGS in cytogenetically normal patients and argues for a general role of this locus in the aetiology of AGS. 相似文献
