Inherited cataract is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous disease.
Here we report the identification of a new locus for an autosomal dominant
anterior polar cataract on the short arm of chromosome 17. To map this new
locus we performed genetic linkage analysis with microsatellite markers in
a four-generation pedigree. After exclusion of seven candidate loci for
cataract, we obtained significant positive LOD scores for markers D17S849
(Z = 4.01 / theta = 0.05) and D17S796 (Z = 4.17 / theta = 0.05). Multipoint
analysis gave a maximum LOD score of 5.2 (theta max = 0.06) between these
two markers. From haplotype analysis, the cataract locus lies in the 13 cM
interval between markers D17S849 and D17S796. This study provides the first
genetic mapping of an autosomal dominant anterior polar cataract.

With the aim of identifying hypertension susceptibility loci, we performed a genome wide scan in Scandinavian sib-pairs with early onset primary hypertension. To be classified as affected, a diagnosis of primary hypertension at age =50 years was required. Two hundred and forty three patients with onset of primary hypertension at 40.0+/-7.7 (mean+/-SD) years from 91 families (91 sib-ships with a mean of 2.7 and a range of 2-6 affected members per sib-ship) were genotyped with 362 microsatellite markers with a density of approximately 10 cM. Loci obtaining nominal P=0.016 (LOD score >/= 1.0) were fine mapped with additional markers. Multipoint non-parametric linkage analysis was performed using GENEHUNTER v 2.0. Using simulations, a nominal P=0.0002 was determined to be a genome wide significant evidence of linkage. In the 10 cM genome wide scan, nominal P=0.016 were found on chromosomes 1 at 81 cM (P=0.007), 2 at 115 cM (P=0.006), 3 at 108 cM (P=0.006), 14 at 45 cM (P=0.0002) and at 99 cM (P=0.001), 17 at 42 cM (P=0.015) and 19 at 89 cM (P=0.007). After fine mapping of these loci, one of the chromosome 14 loci just obtained the level of genome wide significance (P=0.0002 at 41 cM) and the chromosome 2 locus reached suggestive evidence of linkage (P=0.002 at 118 cM). Our data suggest a hypertension susceptibility locus on chromosome 14 around 41 cM. The locus on chromosome 2 is also promising as it has been implicated in hypertension and blood pressure regulation in earlier genome scans. 相似文献

Prevalence of coronary heart disease (CHD), of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and of the metabolic syndrome are in Mauritius amongst the highest in the world. As T2DM and CHD are closely associated and have both a polygenic basis, we conducted a 10 cM genome scan with 403 microsatellite markers in 99 independent families of North-Eastern Indian origin including 535 individuals. Families were ascertained through a proband with CHD before 52 years of age and additional sibs with myocardial infarction (MI) or T2DM. Model-free two-point and multipoint linkage analysis were performed using the Mapmarker-Sibs (MLS) and maximum-likelihood-binomial (MLB) programs for autosomal markers and the Aspex program for chromosome X markers. In a second step, additional markers were studied to increase the genetic map density in three regions on chromosomes 3, 8 and 16 where initial indication for linkage was found. Our data show suggestive linkage with CHD on chromosome 16p13-pter with the MLS statistics at 8.69 cM (LOD = 3.06, P = 0.00017) which partially overlaps with a high pressure (HBP) peak. At the same locus, a nominal indication for linkage with T2DM was found in 35 large T2DM Pondicherian families also having Indian origin. With respect to region 8q23, we found suggestive linkage with T2DM (LOD = 2.55, P = 0.00058) as well as with HBP. On 3q27, we replicated previous indication for linkage found in Caucasians (for the metabolic syndrome and for diabetes) according to the categorized trait for CHD and MI with the MLB statistics (LOD = 2.13, P = 0.0009). The genome scan also revealed nominal evidence of linkage with CHD on 10q23 (LOD = 2.06, P = 0.00188). Interestingly, we detected in the same region overlapping linkages with three QTLs: age of onset of CHD (LOD = 2.03), HDL cholesterol (LOD = 1.48) and LDL/HDL ratio (LOD = 1.34). Ordered-subset analysis based on family body mass index ranking replicated finding on 2q37 for T2DM (at Calpain 10 locus). These results show the first evidence for susceptibility loci that predispose to CHD, T2DM and HBP in the context of the metabolic syndrome. 相似文献

Hereditary nonsyndromic deafness (NSD) is extremely heterogeneous. Autosomal recessive (AR) forms account for approximately 75% of genetic cases. To date, over 40 ARNSD loci have been mapped. A novel locus (DFNB46) for ARNSD was mapped to chromosome 18p11.32-p11.31 in a five-generation Pakistani family. A 10 cM genome-wide scan and fine mapping was carried out using microsatellite markers. A maximum multipoint LOD score of 3.8 was obtained at two markers, D18S481 and D18S1370. The three-unit support interval is flanked by markers D18S59 and D18S391, corresponds to a 17.6 cM region according to the deCode genetic map and spans 5.8 Mb on the sequence-based physical map. 相似文献

The goal of this study was to identify chromosomal regions likely to contain susceptibility alleles for early-onset obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). A genome scan was done in 56 individuals from seven families ascertained through pediatric OCD probands; 27 of the 56 subjects had a lifetime diagnosis of definite OCD. Denser mapping of regions on chromosomes 2, 9, and 16 was subsequently done with those subjects and ten additional subjects from the largest family in the study. Direct interviews were completed with 65 of the 66 genotyped individuals. Relatives were interviewed blind to proband status. Of the 65 interviewed individuals, 32 had a lifetime diagnosis of definite OCD. Three of the seven probands had a history of Tourette disorder. Two of the 25 relatives with OCD had a tic history, whereas none of the 33 relatives without OCD had tics. The genome scan consisted of 349 microsatellite markers with an average between-marker distance of 11.3 centiMorgan (cM). Fine mapping was done with 24 additional markers at an average spacing of 1.6 cM. Parametric and nonparametric linkage analyses were conducted using GENEHUNTER(+). The maximum multipoint LOD score with a dominant model was 2.25 on 9p. However, with fine mapping and additional subjects, that LOD score decreased to 1.97. The maximum multipoint nonparametric LOD* score was 1.73 on 19q. The maximum multipoint LOD score with a recessive model was 1.40 on 6p. The results provide suggestive evidence for linkage on 9p and identify regions requiring further study with much larger samples. 相似文献

We previously reported an autosomal scan for schizophrenia susceptibility loci in a systematically recruited sample of Arab Israeli families. The scan detected significant evidence for linkage at chromosome 6q23 with a nonparametric LOD score (NPL) of 4.60 (P=0.000004) and a multipoint parametric LOD score of 4.16. In order to refine this finding we typed 42 additional microsatellite markers on chromosome 6q between D6S1570 (99.01 cM from the pter) and D6S281 (190.14 from the pter) in the same sample (average intermarker distance approximately 1.7 cM). In the 23 cM region between D6S1715 and D6S311, markers were more closely spaced ( approximately 1.1 cM). Multipoint nonparametric and parametric and single point linkage analyses were performed. The peak NPL rose to 4.98 (P=0.00000058) at D6S1626 (136.97 cM), immediately adjacent to D6S292 (NPL 4.98, P=0.00000068), the marker that gave the highest NPL in the original genome scan, under the broad diagnostic category. The putative susceptibility region (NPL-1) was reduced from 12.0 to 4.96 cM. The peak multipoint parametric LOD score was 4.63 at D6S1626 under a dominant genetic model, core diagnostic category and the LOD-1 interval was 2.10 cM. The maximum single point LOD score (3.55, theta=0.01) was also at D6S1626 (dominant model, core diagnostic category). Increased evidence for linkage in the same sample as in the original genome scan and consistent localization of the linkage peak add further support for the presence of a schizophrenia susceptibility locus at chromosome 6q23. Moreover, the markedly reduced linkage interval greatly improves prospects for identifying a schizophrenia susceptibility gene within the implicated region. 相似文献

Linkage Validation of RP25 Using the 10K GeneChip Array and Further Refinement of the Locus by New Linked Families 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of retinal dystrophies, characterised by rod photoreceptor cell degeneration with autosomal recessive RP (arRP) as the commonest form worldwide. To date, a total of 26 loci have been reported for arRP, each having a prevalence of 1–5%, except for the RP25 locus which was identified as the genetic cause of 14% of arRP cases in Spain. In order to validate the original linkage of RP25 , we undertook a total genome scan using the 10K GeneChip mapping array on three of the previously linked families. The data obtained supported the initial findings of linkage. Additionally, linkage analysis in 18 newly ascertained arRP families was performed using microsatellite markers spanning the chromosome 6p12.1-q15 interval. Five out of the 18 families showed suggestive evidence of linkage to RP25 , hence supporting the high prevalence of this locus in the Spanish population. Furthermore, the finding of a crossover in one of these families is likely to have refined the disease interval from the original 16 cM to only a 2.67 cM region between D6S257 and D6S1557 . 相似文献

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease that affects approximately 20 million persons all over the world. There are both sporadic and familial forms of AD. We have previously reported a genome-wide linkage analysis on 71 Swedish AD families using 365 genotyped microsatellite markers. In this study, we increased the number of individuals included in the original 71 analysed families besides adding 38 new families. These 109 families were genotyped for 1100 novel microsatellite markers. The present study reports on the linkage data generated from the non-overlapping genotypes from the first genome scan and the genotypes of the present scan, which results in a total of 1289 successfully genotyped markers at an average density of 2.85 cM on 468 individuals from 109 AD families. Non-parametric linkage analysis yielded a significant multipoint LOD score in chromosome 19q13, the region harbouring the major susceptibility gene APOE, both for the whole set of families (LOD=5.0) and the APOE varepsilon4-positive subgroup made up of 63 families (LOD=5.3). Other suggestive linkage peaks that were observed in the original genome scan of 71 Swedish AD families were not detected in this extended analysis, and the previously reported linkage signals in chromosomes 9, 10 and 12 were not replicated. 相似文献

We analyzed a large multiplex schizophrenia pedigree collected in mid-eastern Japan using 322 microsatellite markers distributed throughout the whole autosome. Under an autosomal-dominant inheritance model, the highest pairwise LOD score (LOD = 1.69) was found at 4q (D4S2431: theta = 0.0), and LOD scores at two other loci 3q (ATA34G06) and 8q (D8S1128) were 1.62 and 1.46, respectively. In multipoint analysis, LOD scores of the regions on 4q and 3q remained at a similar level; however, the LOD score of the region on 8q apparently decreased. Additional dense map analysis revealed haplotypes on 4q and 3q regions shared by affected individuals. On chromosome 4q, the haplotype spanning about 8 centiMorgans (cM) was shared by four of six genotyped individuals with schizophrenia and one affected individual whose haplotype was estimated. On 3q, the haplotype spanning about 20 cM was shared by five genotyped individuals with schizophrenia. We obtained two candidate regions of major susceptibility loci for schizophrenia on chromosomes 3q and 4q. 相似文献

Obesity is a multifactorial disorder with a complex phenotype. It is a significant risk factor for diabetes and hypertension. We assessed obesity-related traits in a large cohort of twins and performed a genome-wide linkage scan and positional candidate analysis to identify genes that play a role in regulating fat mass and distribution in women. Dizygous female twin pairs from 1,094 pedigrees were studied (mean age 47.0+/-11.5 years (range 18-79 years)). Nonparametric multipoint linkage analyses showed linkage for central fat mass to 12q24 (141 cM) with LOD 2.2 and body mass index to 8q11 (67 cM) with LOD 1.3, supporting previously established linkage data. Novel areas of suggestive linkage were for total fat percentage at 6q12 (LOD 2.4) and for total lean mass at 2q37 (LOD 2.4). Data from follow-up fine mapping in an expanded cohort of 1243 twin pairs reinforced the linkage for central fat mass to 12q24 (LOD 2.6; 143 cM) and narrowed the -1 LOD support interval to 22 cM. In all, 45 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from 26 positional candidate genes within the 12q24 interval were then tested for association in a cohort of 1102 twins. Single-point Monks-Kaplan analysis provided evidence of association between central fat mass and SNPs in two genes - PLA2G1B (P = 0.0067) and P2RX4 (P = 0.017). These data provide replication and refinement of the 12q24 obesity locus and suggest that genes involved in phospholipase and purinoreceptor pathways may regulate fat accumulation and distribution. 相似文献

Autosomal recessive non-syndromic hearing impairment (ARNSHI) is the most common form of prelingual inherited hearing impairment (HI). Here is described the mapping of a novel ARNSHI locus in a consanguineous Pakistani family with profound congenital HI. Two-point and multipoint linkage analyses were performed for the genome scan and fine mapping markers. Haplotypes were constructed to determine the region of homozygosity. At theta = 0, the maximum two-point LOD score of 4.0 was obtained at marker AAC040. A maximum multipoint LOD score of 5.3 was derived at marker D12S320, with the three-unit support interval demarcated by D12S89 and D12S1042. The region of homozygosity is flanked by markers D12S358 and D12S1042, which corresponds to 22.4 cM according to the Rutgers combined linkage-physical map of the human genome and spans 15.0 Mb on the sequence-based physical map. A novel ARNSHI locus DFNB62 was mapped to chromosome 12p13.2-p11.23. DFNB62 represents the second ARNSHI locus to map to chromosome 12. 相似文献

Alopecia with mental retardation syndrome (APMR) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by total or partial absence of hair from the scalp and other parts of the body and associated with mental retardation. Previously, we have reported the mapping of two alopecia and mental retardation genes ( APMR1 and APMR2 ) on human chromosome 3. In the present study, after excluding both of these loci through linkage analysis, a whole genome scan was performed by genotyping 396 polymorphic microsatellite markers located on 22 autosomes and the X and Y chromosomes. A disease locus was mapped to a 10.9 cM region, flanked by markers D18S866 and D18S811, on chromosome 18q11.2–q12.2. A maximum two-point LOD score of 3.03 at θ= 0.0 was obtained with marker D18S1102. Multipoint linkage analysis resulted in maximum LOD scores of 4.03 with several markers in the candidate region. According to the Rutgers combined linkage-physical map of the human genome (build 36) this region covers 12.17 Mb. DNA sequence analysis of nine candidate genes including DSC3 , DSC1 , DSG1 , DSG4 , DSG3 , ZNF397 , ZNF271 , ZNF24 and ZNF396 did not reveal any sequence variants in the affected individuals of the family presented here. 相似文献

A genomewide linkage study of age at onset in schizophrenia. 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
A G Cardno P A Holmans M I Rees L A Jones G M McCarthy M L Hamshere N M Williams N Norton H J Williams I Fenton K C Murphy R D Sanders M Y Gray M C O'Donovan P McGuffin M J Owen 《American journal of medical genetics》2001,105(5):439-445
There is strong evidence for a genetic contribution to age at onset of schizophrenia, which probably involves both susceptibility loci for schizophrenia and modifying loci acting independent of disease risk. We sought evidence of linkage to loci that influence age at onset of schizophrenia in a sample of 94 affected sibling pairs with DSM-IV schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder, and age at first psychiatric contact of 45 years or less. Individuals were genotyped for 229 microsatellite markers spaced at approximately 20 cM intervals throughout the genome. Loci contributing to age at onset were sought by a quantitative maximum-likelihood multipoint linkage analysis using MAPMAKER/SIBS. A nonparametric multipoint analysis was also performed. The genomewide significance of linkage results was assessed by simulation studies. There were six maximum-likelihood LOD score peaks of 1.5 or greater, the highest being on chromosome 17q (LOD = 2.54; genomewide P = 0.27). This fulfils Lander and Kruglyak's [1995: Nat Genet 11:241-247] criteria for suggestive linkage in that it would be expected to occur once or less (0.3 times) per genome scan. However, this finding should be treated with caution because the LOD score appeared to be almost solely accounted for by the pattern of ibd sharing at one marker (D17S787), with virtually no evidence of linkage over flanking markers. None of the linkage results achieved genomewide statistical significance, but the LOD score peak on chromosome 13q (LOD = 1.68) coincided with the region showing maximum evidence for linkage in the study by Blouin et al. [1998: Nat Genet 20:70-73] of categorical schizophrenia. 相似文献

A large pedigree showing a history of pyridoxine responsive X linked sideroblastic anaemia was screened with several polymorphic DNA markers from the X chromosome. Linkage analysis between each marker and disease status was performed, giving a maximum two point lod score of 3.64 at zero recombination with the microsatellite marker PGK1P1 at Xq11.2-12. Close linkage to PGK at Xq13.3, one of the candidate regions for X linked sideroblastic anaemia, was excluded. Linkage to DNA markers distal to PGK and at Xp21 was also excluded. Multipoint linkage analysis was performed with markers located between Xq11.2-21. The maximum map specific lod score obtained was 3.56 at PGK1P1 (Xq11.2-12). Linkage remained significant over the interval 20 cM proximal to PGK1P1 and 5 cM distal to PGK1P1, with definite exclusion around the PGK locus. The most likely location of the gene involved in sideroblastic anaemia in this pedigree is therefore within the pericentromeric region of the X chromosome. This region includes the erythroid 5-aminolaevulinate synthetase gene of the haem synthesis pathway, which is a candidate gene for X linked sideroblastic anaemia located at Xp11.21. 相似文献

Asthma is a complex disease and the intricate interplay between genetic and environmental factors underlies the overall phenotype of the disease. Families with at least two siblings with asthma were collected from Europe, Australia and the US. A genome scan using a set of 364 families with a panel of 396 microsatellite markers was conducted. Nonparametric linkage analyses were conducted for asthma and three asthma-related phenotypes: bronchial hyper-reactivity (BHR), strict definition of asthma and atopic asthma. Nine chromosomal regions with LOD scores greater than 1.5 were identified (chromosomes 1q, 2p, 3q, 4p, 4q, 6q, 12q, 20p and 21). Linkage refinement analysis was performed for three BHR loci by genotyping single nucleotide polymorphisms at an average marker density of 1 cM. The LOD scores increased to 3.07 at chromosome 4p and 4.58 at chromosome 2p, while the chromosome 6p locus did not refine. The LOD score at the chromosome 2p locus is highly significant on a genome-wide basis. The refined locus covers a region with a physical size of 12.2 Mb. Taken together, these results provide evidence for a major asthma susceptibility locus on chromosome 2p. 相似文献

We present results from a genome-wide scan of a six generation pedigree with 28 affected members with apparently dominant bipolar I disorder from eastern Cuba. Genotypes were obtained using the early access version of the Genechip Mapping 10K Xba array from AFFYMETRIX. Parametric and non-parametric linkage analyses under dominant and recessive models were performed using GENEHUNTER v2.1r5. Two phenotypic models were included in the analyses: bipolar I disorder and recurrent depressive disorder, or bipolar I disorder only. LOD scores were calculated for the entire family combined, and for four subdivisions of the family. For the entire family a suggestive parametric LOD score was obtained under the dominant model and the broader phenotype at 14q11.2-12 (LOD = 2.05). In the same region, a non-parametric LOD score close to genome-wide significance was also obtained, based on the entire family (NPL = 7.31, P-value = 0.07). For two individual branches of the pedigree, genome-wide significance (P < 0.005) was obtained with NPL scores of 8.71 and 12.99, respectively, also in the same region on chromosome 14. Chromosome 5q21.3-22.3 also showed close to genome-wide significant linkage for the complete pedigree (NPL = 7.26, P = 0.07), also supported by significant linkage in one individual branch (NPL = 9.86, P < 0.005). In addition, genome-wide significant nonparametric results (P-values <0.005) were obtained for individual branches at 5p13.1-q12.3, 6p22.3, 8q13.3-21.13, and 10q22.3-23.32. Finally, 2p25.1-25.3, 2p13.3-14, 3p14.2, 6p22.3-24.1, 7p14.1-14.2, 8q12.2-12.3, 10q21.1-21.2, 14q13.1-21.1, 15q15.1-21.2, and 22q12.3-13.32 showed suggestive linkage in the complete family. Most of these potential susceptibility loci overlap with, or are close, to previous linkage findings. The locus on 5q may, however, represent a novel susceptibility locus. 相似文献

Finer linkage mapping of a primary hip osteoarthritis susceptibility locus on chromosome 6 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Primary osteoarthritis (OA) is a common late-onset disease that exhibits complex genetic transmittance. A previous genome-wide linkage scan of OA affected sibling pair families (ascertained by total joint replacement surgery) identified a region of suggestive linkage on chromosome 6, with a maximum multipoint-LOD score (MLS) of 2.9 in 194 families containing sibling pairs concordant for total hip replacement (THR-families). However, up to 50 cM of the chromosome had a multipoint-LOD score >2.0, indicating that the susceptibility locus was poorly mapped. We have now genotyped chromosome 6 to a higher density in an expanded cohort of 378 THR-families. We obtained an MLS of 2.8 to an 11.4 cM interval defined by markers D6S452 and 509-8B2, which map between 70.5 to 81.9 cM from the 6p-telomere. Stratification by gender revealed that this linkage was completely accounted for by female THR-families (n=146), with an MLS of 4.0 and with the highest two-point LOD score being 4.6 for marker D6S1573 (75.9 cM). The 11.4 cM interval just encompasses the candidate gene COL9A1 (81.9 cM). We identified and then genotyped twenty common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from within COL9A1 in the 146 probands from our female THR-families and in 215 age-matched female controls. No SNP allele, genotype or haplotype demonstrated association to disease. Overall, we have narrowed the chromosome 6 OA susceptibility locus to a point at which linkage disequilibrium/association analysis is feasible, we have demonstrated that this locus is female specific, and found no evidence that COL9A1 encodes for the susceptibility. 相似文献

Evidence for suggestive linkage to schizophrenia with chromosome 6q markers was previously reported from a two-stage approach. Using nonparametric affected sib pairs (ASP) methods, nominal p-values of 0.00018 and 0.00095 were obtained in the screening (81 ASPs; 63 independent) and the replication (109 ASPs; 87 independent) data sets, respectively. Here, we report a follow-up study of this 50cM 6q region using 12 microsatellite markers to test for linkage to schizophrenia. We increased the replication sample size by adding an independent sample of 43 multiplex pedigrees (66 ASPs; 54 independent). Pairwise and multipoint nonparametric linkage analyses conducted in this third data set showed evidence consistent with excess sharing in this 6q region, though the statistical level is weaker (p=0.013). When combining both replication data sets (total of 141 independent ASPs), an overall nominal p-value=0.000014 (LOD=3. 82) was obtained. The sibling recurrence risk (lambdas) attributed to this putative 6q susceptibility locus is estimated to be 1.92. The linkage region could not be narrowed down since LOD score values greater than three were observed within a 13cM region. The length of this region was only slightly reduced (12cM) when using the total sample of independent ASPs (204) obtained from all three data sets. This suggests that very large sample sizes may be needed to narrow down this region by ASP linkage methods. Study of the etiological candidate genes in this region is ongoing. 相似文献
