To isolate DNA sequences unique to chromosome 21 we have used a recombinant-DNA library, constructed from a mouse-human somatic-cell hybrid line containing chromosome 21 as the only human chromosome. Individual recombinant phage containing human DNA inserts were identified by their hybridization to total human DNA sequences and by their failure to hybridize to total mouse DNA sequences. A repeat-free human DNA fragment was then subcloned from each of 14 such recombinant phage. An independent somatic-cell hybrid was used to assign all 14 subcloned fragments to chromosome 21. Thirteen of the fragments have been regionally mapped using a somatic-cell hybrid containing a human 21 translocation chromosome. Two probes map proximal to the 21q21.2 translocation breakpoint, and 11 probes map distal to this breakpoint, placing them in the region 21q21.2-21q22. One of seven probes used to screen for restriction-fragment-length polymorphisms recognized polymorphic DNA fragments when hybridized to genomic DNA from unrelated individuals. These 14 unique probes provide useful tools for studying the structure and function of human chromosome 21 as well as for investigating the molecular biology of Down syndrome. 相似文献

We have assigned six polymorphic DNA segments to chromosomal subregions and have established the physical order of these sequences on the long arm of chromosome 21 by in situ hybridization of cloned probes to normal metaphase chromosomes and chromosomes 21 from individuals with three different structural rearrangements: an interstitial deletion, a ring chromosome, and a reciprocal translocation involving four different breakpoints in band 21q22. Segments D21S1 and D21S11 map to region 21q11.2----q21, D21S8 to 21q21.1----q22.11, and D21S54 to 21q21.3----q22.11; D21S23 and D21S25 are both in the terminal subband 21q22.3, but they are separated by a chromosomal breakpoint in a ring 21 chromosome, a finding that places D21S23 proximal to D21S25. The physical map order D21S1/D21S11-D21S8-D21S54-D21S23-D21S25 agrees with the linkage map, but genetic distances are disproportionately larger toward the distal end of 21q. 相似文献

A mapped set of DNA markers for human chromosome 17 总被引:32,自引:0,他引:32

We have developed and mapped by genetic linkage a primary set of markers for chromosome 17. The map consists of 21 loci derived from 27 probe/enzyme systems, including eight highly informative markers at loci containing a variable number of tandemly repeated DNA sequences (VNTRs). The map is continuous from the telomeric region of the short arm to the telomeric region of the long arm, covering estimated genetic distances of 218 cM in males and 279 cM in females. The average heterozygosity among all 21 loci in the population sample analyzed is 58%; 77% heterozygosity was observed among the eight VNTR markers that were highly informative. This map will make it possible to detect by linkage the location of genetic defects associated with chromosome 17 and will also provide anchor points for a high-resolution map of this chromosome. 相似文献

The human amyloid beta protein is the major constituent of the brain amyloid plaques found in Alzheimer disease. The gene that encodes this protein is located on chromosome 21, and individuals with Down syndrome (trisomy 21) also exhibit an early onset form of Alzheimer disease. We have used the cloned human amyloid beta protein gene and a panel of somatic cell hybrids to map the location of the mouse homolog of this gene. We report here that the mouse gene is located on chromosome 16 within the region 16C3----ter, in common with three other genes which map within the Down syndrome region of human chromosome 21. 相似文献

A somatic cell hybrid line containing only human chromosome 21 on a mouse background has been used as the source of DNA for construction of a recombinant phage library. Individual phages containing human inserts have been identified. Repeat-free human DNA subclones have been prepared and used to screen for restriction fragment length polymorphisms to provide genetic markers on chromosome 21. Nine independently isolated clones used as probes identified a total of 11 new RFLPs. Four of the DNA probes recovered from the library have been mapped unequivocally to chromosome 21 using a panel of somatic cell hybrid lines. A fifth probe detected an RFLP on chromosome 21 as well as sequences on other chromosomes. This set of RFLPs may now form the basis for construction of a genetic linkage map of human chromosome 21. 相似文献

A genetic linkage map of 17 markers on human chromosome 21 总被引:17,自引:0,他引:17
We have constructed a genetic linkage map of 17 markers on the long arm of human chromosome 21, including six genes and two anonymous loci with a variable number of tandem repeats. The estimated length of the map is 103 cM in males and 140 cM in females, assuming Kosambi interference. Recombination in females was approximately twice that in males between proximal markers. However, over half of the recombination events in either sex occur distally, in 21q22.3, although this region accounts for only about 15% of the physical length of chromosome 21. 相似文献

We have used a half-YAC containing the human chromosome 21 long-arm telomere to clone, map, and characterize a new dinucleotide repeat polymorphism (D21S1575) close to 21qter. This marker is < 120 kb from the telomeric (TTAGGG)n sequences and is the most distal highly polymorphic marker on chromosome 21q. This marker has a heterozygosity of 71% because of a variable (TA)n repeat embedded within a long interspersed element (LINE) element. Genotyping of the CEPH families and linkage analysis provided a more accurate determination of the full length of the chromosome 21 genetic map. A highly significant difference was detected between male and female recombination rates in the telomeric region: in the most telomeric 2.3 Mb of chromosome 21q, recombination was only observed in male meioses. 相似文献

The association between trisomy 21 and a high incidence of atrioventricular canal defects (AVCDs) indicates that a locus on chromosome 21 is involved in this congenital heart defect. We have investigated whether a genetic locus on chromosome 21 is also involved in familial nonsyndromic AVCDs. Short tandem repeat polymorphisms (STRPs) from chromosome 21 were used for linkage analysis of a family having multiple members affected with AVCDs. In this family, the gene for AVCDs is transmitted as an autosomal dominant with incomplete penetrance. The affected family members are nonsyndromic and have normal karyotypes. Two-point and multipoint linkage analyses produced significantly negative LOD scores for all informative markers. A comparison of the overlapping exclusion distances obtained for each marker at LOD equal -2.0 with the 1000:1 consensus genetic map of the markers, excludes chromosome 21 as the genetic location for AVCDs in this family. The exclusion of chromosome 21 indicates that another gene, not located on chromosome 21, is involved in atrioventricular canal defect formation. 相似文献

Conserved linkage groups have been found on the X and autosomal chromosomes in several mammalian species. The identification of conserved chromosomal regions has potential for predicting gene location in mammals, particularly in humans. The genes for human aminoacylase-1 (ACY1, N-acylamino acid aminohydrolase, E.C.3.5.1.14), an enzyme in amino acid metabolism, and beta-galactosidase-A (GLB1, E.C.3.2.1.23), deficient in GM1-gangliosidosis, have been assigned to human chromosome 3. Using human-mouse somatic cell hybrids segregating translocations of human chromosome 3, expression of both ACY1 and GLB1 correlated with the presence of the p21 leads to q21 region of chromosome 3. In a previous study, assignment of these genes to mouse chromosome 9 used mouse-Chinese hamster somatic cell hybrids, eliminating mouse chromosomes. To approximate the size of the conserved region in the mouse, experiments were performed with recombinant inbred mouse strains. An electrophoretic variant of ACY-1 in mouse strains was used to map the Acy-1 gene 10.7 map U from the beta-galactosidase locus. These data suggest that there is a region of homology within the p21 leads to q21 region of human chromosome 3 and a segment of mouse chromosome 9. Since the mouse transferrin gene (Trf) is closely linked to the aminoacylase and beta-galactosidase loci, we predict that the human transferrin (TF) gene is on chromosome 3. 相似文献

We have detected a polymorphism in the 3' untranslated region of the AML1 gene, which is located at the breakpoint on chromosome 21 in the t(8;21)(q22;q22.3) translocation often associated with patients with acute myeloid leukemia. Informative CEPH families were genotyped for this polymorphism and used to localize the gene on the linkage map of human chromosome 21. The AML1 gene is located between the markers D21S216 and D21S211, in chromosomal band 21q22.3. 相似文献

A physical map including four pseudogenes and 10 gene fragments and spanning 500 kb in the juxta-centromeric region of the long arm of human chromosome 21 is presented. cDNA fragments isolated from a selected cDNA library were characterized and mapped to the 831B6 YAC and to two BAC contigs that cover 250 kb of the region. An 85 kb genomic sequence located in the proximal region of the map was analyzed for putative exons. Four pseudogenes were found, including psiIGSF3, psiEIF3, psiGCT-rel whose functional copies map to chromosome 1p13, chromosome 2 and chromosome 22q11, respectively. The TTLL1 pseudogene corresponds to a new gene whose functional copy maps to chromosome 22q13. Ten gene fragments represent novel sequences that have related sequences on different human chromosomes and show 97-100% nucleotide identity to chromosome 21. These may correspond to pseudogenes on chromosome 21 and to functional genes in other chromosomes. The 85 kb genomic sequence was analyzed also for GC content, CpG islands, and repetitive sequence distribution. A GC-poor L isochore spanning 40 kb from satellite 1 was observed in the most centromeric region, next to a GC-rich H isochore that is a candidate region for the presence of functional genes. The pericentric duplication of a 7.8 kb region that is derived from the 22q13 chromosome band is described. We showed that the juxta-centromeric region of human chromosome 21 is enriched for retrotransposed pseudogenes and gene fragments transferred by interchromosome duplications, but we do not rule out the possibility that the region harbors functional genes also. 相似文献

Human chromosome 21 has been analyzed by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis using somatic cell hybrids containing limited regions of the chromosome and greater than 60 unique sequence probes. Thirty-three independent NotI fragments have been identified, totalling 43 million bp. This must account for essentially the entire long arm, and therefore gaps remaining in the map must be small. The extent of the pulsed-field map has allowed the direct correlation of the physical map with the cytogenetic map: translocation breakpoints can be unambiguously positioned along the long arm and the distances between them measured in base pairs. Three breakpoints have been identified, providing physical confirmation of cytogenetic landmarks. Information on sequence organization has been obtained: (i) 60% of the unique sequence probes are located within 11 physical linkage groups which can be contained in only 20% of the long arm; (ii) 9/21 genes are clustered within 4%; (iii) translocation breakpoints appear to occur within CpG island regions, making their identification difficult by pulsed-field techniques. This analysis contributes to the human genome mapping effort, and provides information to guide the rapid investigation of the biology of chromosome 21. 相似文献

We have constructed a YAC contig map of Arabidopsis thaliana chromosome 3. From an estimated total size of 25 Mb, about 21 Mb were covered by 148 clones arranged into nine YAC contigs, which represented most of the low-copy regions of the chromosome. YAC clones were anchored with 259 molecular markers, including 111 for which linkage information was previously available. Most of the genetic map was included in the YAC coverage, and more than 60% of the genetic markers from the reference recombinant inbred line map were anchored, giving a high level of integration between the genetic and physical maps. The submetacentric structure of the chromosome was confirmed by physical data; 3R (the top arm of the linkage map) was about 12 Mb, and 3L (the bottom arm of the linkage map) was about 9 Mb. This YAC physical map will aid in chromosome walking experiments and provide a framework for large-scale DNA sequencing of chromosome 3. 相似文献

Robertsonian translocations (ROBs) involving chromosome 21 are found in approximately 5% of patients with Down syndrome (DS). The most common nonhomologous ROB in DS is rob(14q21q). Aberrant recombination is associated with nondisjunction (NDJ) leading to trisomy 21. Haplotype analysis of 23 patients with DS and de novo rob(14q21q) showed that all translocations and all nondisjoined chromosomes 21 were maternally derived. Meiosis II NDJ occurred in 21 of 23 families. For these, a ROB DS chromosome 21 genetic map was constructed and compared to a normal female map and a published trisomy 21 map derived from meiosis II NDJ. The location of exchanges differed significantly from both maps, with a significant shift to a more distal interval in the ROB DS map. The shift may perturb segregation, leading to the meiosis II NDJ in this study, and is further evidence for crossover interference. More importantly, because the event in the short arms that forms the de novo ROB influences the placement of chiasmata in the long arm, it is most likely that the translocation formation occurs through a recombination pathway in meiosis. Additionally, we have demonstrated that events that occur in meiosis I can influence events, such as chromatid segregation in meiosis II, many decades later. 相似文献

A genetic linkage map of human chromosome 21 has been constructed using 22 anonymous DNA markers and five complementary DNAs (cDNAs) encoding the amyloid beta protein precursor (APP), superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1), the ets-2 proto-oncogene (ETS2), the estrogen inducible breast cancer locus (BCEI), and the leukocyte antigen, CD18 (CD18). Segregation of RFLPs detected by these DNA markers was traced in the Venezuelan Reference Pedigree (VRP). A comprehensive genetic linkage map consisting of the 27 DNA markers spans 102 cM on the long arm of chromosome 21. We have confirmed our initial findings of a dramatically increased rate of recombination at the telomere in both females and males and of significantly higher recombination in females in the pericentromeric region. By comparing patterns of recombination in specific regions of chromosome 21 with regard to both parental sex and age, we have now identified a statistically significant downward trend in the frequency of crossovers in the most telomeric portion of chromosome 21 with increasing maternal age. A less significant decrease in recombination with increasing maternal age was observed in the pericentromeric region of the chromosome. These results may help in ultimately understanding the physical relationship between recombination and nondisjunction in the occurrence of trisomy 21. 相似文献

Summary By merging two efficient technologies, bivariate flow sorting of human metaphase chromosomes and a recombination-based assay for sequence complexity, we isolated 28 cloned DNA segments homologous to loci on human chromosome 21. Subregional mapping of these DNA segments with a somatic cell hybrid panel showed that 26 of the 28 cloned DNA sequences are distributed along the long arm of chromosome 21, while the other 2 hybridize with sequences on the short arm of both chromosome 21 and other chromosomes. This new collection of probes homologous to chromosome 21 should facilitate molecular analyses of trisomy 21 by providing DNA probes for the linkage map of chromosome 21, for studies of nondisjunction, for chromosome walking in clinically relevant subregions of chromosome 21, and for the isolation of genes on chromosome 21 following the screening of cDNA libraries. 相似文献

The widespread use of the sequence-tagged site (STS) as a quick, efficient, and reproducible assay for comparing physical and genetic map information promises to facilitate greatly long-range goals of time mapping of the human genome. We have designed 21 STS assays for loci on human chromosome 22. These assays primarily tag the physical framework markers of the long arm of 22, but additional assays have been designed from known genes and loci in the neurofibromatosis 2 (NF2) region. The availability of these assays will make these loci available to the research community without physical transfer of materials and will serve as start points for further efforts to physically map chromosome 22 with yeast artificial chromosome clones. 相似文献

To assess the association between recombination and nondisjunction of chromosome 21, we analyzed cytogenetic and DNA markers in 104 trisomy 21 individuals and their parents. Our DNA marker studies of parental origin were informative in 100 cases, with the overwhelming majority (94) being maternal in origin. This value is significantly higher than the 75%-80% maternal nondisjunction rate typically observed in cytogenetic studies of trisomy 21 and illustrates the increased accuracy of the molecular approach. Using the maternally derived cases and probing at 19 polymorphic sites on chromosome 21, we created a genetic map that spans most of the long arm of chromosome 21. The map was significantly shorter than the normal female linkage map, indicating that absence of pairing and/or recombination contributes to nondisjunction in a substantial proportion of cases of trisomy 21. 相似文献
