Chronic distal spinal muscular atrophy (Chronic DSMA, MIM (*)607088) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by a progressive motor weakness and muscular atrophy, predominating in the distal parts of the limbs. A form of Chronic DSMA gene has been previously mapped to chromosome 11q13 in the 10.3 cM interval defined by loci D11S1889 and D11S1321. By linkage analysis in 12 European Chronic DSMA families, we showed that a disease gene maps to chromosome 11q13.3 (Z(max)=6.66 at theta=0.00 at the DSM4 locus) and suggested that this condition is genetically homogeneous. Recombination events allowed us to reduce the genetic interval to a 2.6 cM region, telomeric to the IGHMBP2 gene, excluding this gene as the disease causing gene in Chronic DSMA. Moreover, partial linkage disequilibrium was found between three rare alleles at loci D11S1369, DSM4 and D11S4184 and the mutant chromosome in European patients. Analysis of the markers at these loci strongly suggests that most Chronic DSMA chromosomes are derived from a single ancestor. Refinement of the Chronic DSMA locus will hopefully allow to test candidate genes and lead to identification of the disease-causing mutations. 相似文献

Hereditary gingival fibromatosis (HGF) is a rare, benign disorder characterized by slowly progressive fibrous overgrowth of the gingiva. To date, two loci have been mapped in familial cases with autosomal dominant non-syndromic HGF: GINGF (MIM 135300) on chromosome 2p21-p22 and GINGF2 (MIM 605544) on chromosome 5q13-q22. Of the two loci, only SOS1 (son of sevenless one, MIM 182530) gene underlying GINGF locus has been identified. Ascertainment of a large Chinese family has allowed the mapping of a novel locus to 2p22.3-p23.3, GINGF3. Haplotype construction and analysis localized the new locus to an 11.4-cM interval between markers D2S2221 (telomeric) and D2S1788 (centromeric). The maximum two-point limit of detection (LOD) score of 3.45 (theta=0) and multipoint LOD score of 5.00 for marker D2S390 strongly supported linkage to this region. Thus, this genetic interval is distal to and does not overlap with the previously described locus, GINGF, on 2p21-p22. 相似文献

DNA marker studies show that Machado Joseph disease is not an allele of the Huntington disease locus
Machado Joseph Disease (MJD) is a progressive spinocerebellar atrophy (SCA) with an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance. On the basis of some similarities in the clinical features and in the abnormal profiles of brain proteins, it has been suggested that MJD might be an allele of the Huntington Disease (HD) locus. Using the DNA probe (pK082), we analyzed the linkage between the DNA marker locus D4S10 and the MJD locus in two large kindreds. The data exclude linkage between these two loci at a distance of 10 cm (Z = - 2.02). Since the D4S10 locus is linked to the HD locus at a distance of approximately 4 cm, we conclude that MJD is not an allele of the HD locus. 相似文献

Hearing impairment is an extremely heterogeneous disorder. A total of 35 loci and 17 related genes for autosomal dominant
nonsyndromic hearing loss have been identified. In a Chinese pedigree characterized by autosomal dominant inheritance with
bilateral, postlingual, progressive, and sensorineural nonsyndromic hearing impairment, the putative disease gene locus was
localized to chromosome 5q31.1-32 by a genome-wide scan. Fine mapping indicated that the disease gene was located within an
8.8-cM region between markers D5S2056 and D5S638, with a maximum two-point logarithm of differences (LOD) score of 6.89 (θ = 0) at D5S2017. By the candidate gene approach, mutation screening of the DIAPH1 and POU4F3 genes at 5q31 was performed. No mutation was found, suggesting that this is a novel deafness locus, which has been named
DFNA42.

The autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophies (AR-LGMDs) are a heterogeneous group of disorders of progressive weakness of the pelvic and shoulder girdle musculature. The clinical course is characterized by great variability, ranging from severe forms with onset in the first decade and rapid progression resembling clinically Xp21 Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) to milder forms with later onset and slower course. Eight genes are mapped for the AR-LGMDs; they are: LGMD2A (CAPN3) at 15q, LGMD2B (dysferlin) at 2p, LGMD2C (gamma-SG) at 13q, LGMD2D (alpha-SG) at 17q, LGMD2E (beta-SG) at 4q, LGMD2F (6-SG) at 5q, LGMD2G at 17q, and more recently LGMD2H at 9q. The LGMD2F (delta-SG) and LGMD2G genes were mapped in Brazilian AR-LGMD families. Linkage analysis in two unlinked families excluded the eight AR-LGMD genes, indicating that there is at least one more gene responsible for AR-LGMD. We have analyzed 140 patients (from 40 families) affected with one of seven autosomal recessive LGMD loci, that is, from LGMD2A to LGMD2G. The main observations were: 1) all LGMD2E and LGMD2F patients had a severe condition, but considerable inter- and intra-familial clinical variability was observed among patients from all other groups; 2) serum CK activities showed the highest values in LGMD2D (alpha-SG) patients among sarcoglycanopathies and LGMD2B (dysferlin) patients among nonsarcoglycanopathies; 3) comparison between LGMD2A (CAPN3) and LGMD2B (dysferlin) showed that the first have on average a more severe course and have calf hypertrophy more frequently (86% versus 13%); and 4) inability to walk on toes was observed in approximately 70% of LGMD2B patients. 相似文献

An autosomal dominant posterior polar cataract locus maps to human chromosome 20p12-q12 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

We assigned the locus for a previously reported new type of autosomal dominant posterior polar cataract (CPP3) to 20p12-q12 by a genome-wide two-point linkage analysis with microsatellite markers. CPP3 is characterized by progressive, disc-shaped, posterior subcapsular opacity. The disease was seen in 10 members of a Japanese family and transmitted in an autosomal dominant fashion through four generations. We obtained a maximum lod score (Zmax) of 3.61 with a recombination fraction (theta) of 0.00 for markers D20S917, D20S885 and D20S874. Haplotype analysis gave the disease gene localization at a 15.7-cM interval between D20S851 and D20S96 loci on chromosome 20p12-q12. Since the BFSP1 that encodes the lens-specific beaded filament structural protein 1 (filensin) has been mapped around the CPP3 region, we performed sequence analysis on its entire coding region. However, no base substitution or deletion was detected in the CPP3 patients. The mapping of the CPP3 locus to 20p12-q12 not only expands our understanding of the genetic heterogeneity in autosomal dominant posterior polar cataracts but also is a clue for the positional cloning of the disease gene. 相似文献

Wilson's disease, a rare autosomal recessive disorder, has been recently mapped to the long arm of chromosome 13 (q14.1). In this study, we carried out linkage analysis between three chromosome 13 DNA markers, D13S1, D13S10, D13S2, the locus for the red cell enzyme esterase D (ESD), and the Wilson's disease locus (WND) in 17 Wilson's disease families of Italian descent, mostly from Sardinia. We confirmed a tight linkage [theta = 0.00, Z (theta) = 4.07] between the WND and ESD loci, and provided suggestive evidence for linkage [theta = 0.00, Z(theta) = 1.85] of the WND locus with D13S10. Multipoint linkage analysis indicated the following order: centromere-D13S1-D13S10-WND-ESD-D13S2. RFLP analysis at these two loci in our families allowed us either to define the carrier status (50%) or to exclude the homozygous state (25%) in the great majority of unaffected sibs. 相似文献

The combination of autosomal dominant, early onset Paget disease of bone (PDB) and muscular dystrophy is an unusual disorder. We recently mapped the disorder in a large family from central Illinois with PDB and proximal limb-girdle type of muscular dystrophy (LGMD), and in 3 additional families with hereditary inclusion body myopathy (HIBM), Paget disease of bone and frontotemporal dementia, to a unique locus on chromosome 9p21.1-q12. The present study describes an unrelated 10-member family with autosomal dominant PDB and a scapuloperoneal type of muscular dystrophy. Clinical, biochemical, and radiological evaluations were performed to delineate clinical features in this family. Progression of the muscular dystrophy begins with weakness in the distal muscles of the legs accompanied by foot drop. EMG and muscle biopsy are compatible with a primary dystrophy. Onset of Paget disease is early, at a mean age of 41 years, with initial distribution in the long bones and eventual infiltration of the spine and pelvis. Creatine phosphokinase (CPK) and alkaline phosphatase levels are elevated in affected individuals. Molecular analyses excluded all known loci for Paget disease of bone, scapuloperoneal muscular dystrophy (SPMD), fascioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSH), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Bethlem myopathy, two forms of autosomal dominant limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD), and the critical region for LGMD or HIBM/PDB on chromosome 9p21.1-q12, thus providing evidence for genetic heterogeneity among families with the unique combination of muscular dystrophy and Paget disease of bone. 相似文献

Hereditary hearing impairment is a genetically heterogeneous disorder. To date, 49 autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing impairment (ARNSHI) loci have been described, and there are more than 16 additional loci announced. In 25 of the known loci, causative genes have been identified. A genome scan and fine mapping revealed a novel locus for ARNSHI (DFNB63) on chromosome 11q13.2-q13.4 in a five-generation Turkish family (TR57). The homozygous linkage interval is flanked by the markers D11S1337 and D11S2371 and spans a 5.3-Mb interval. A maximum two-point log of odds score of 6.27 at a recombination fraction of theta = 0.0 was calculated for the marker D11S4139. DFNB63 represents the eighth ARNSHI locus mapped to chromosome 11, and about 3.33 Mb separate the DFNB63 region from MYO7A (DFNB2/DFNB11). Sequencing of coding regions and exon-intron boundaries of 13 candidate genes, namely SHANK2, CTTN, TPCN2, FGF3, FGF4, FGF19, FCHSD2, PHR1, TMEM16A, RAB6A, MYEOV, P2RY2 and KIAA0280, in genomic DNA from an affected individual of family TR57 revealed no disease-causing mutations. 相似文献

Limb girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) is a heterogeneous group of disorders affecting primarily the shoulder and pelvic girdles. Autosomal dominant and recessive forms have been identified; 8 have been mapped and 1 more has been postulated on the basis of exclusion of linkage. An autosomal recessive muscular dystrophy was first described in 1976 in the Hutterite Brethren, a North American genetic and religious isolate [Shokeir and Kobrinsky, 1976; Clin Genet 9:197–202]. In this report, we discuss the results of linkage analysis in 4 related Manitoba Hutterite sibships with 21 patients affected with a mild autosomal recessive form of LGMD. Because of the difficulties in assigning a phenotype in some asymptomatic individuals, stringent criteria for the affected phenotype were employed. As a result, 7 asymptomatic relatives with only mildly elevated CK levels were assigned an unknown phenotype to prevent their possible misclassification. Two-point linkage analysis of the disease locus against markers linked to 7 of the known LGMD loci and 3 other candidate genes yielded lod scores of ≤−2 at θ=0.01 in all cases and in most cases at θ=0.05. This suggests that there is at least 1 additional locus for LGMD. Am. J. Med. Genet. 72:363–368, 1997. © 1997 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Usher syndrome (USH) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous disorder
characterized by congenital hearing loss combined with retinitis
pigmentosa. This dual sensorineural deficiency is transmitted in an
autosomal recessive mode. Usher syndrome type I (USH1) is the most severe
form. Four loci responsible for USH1 (USH1A, 1B, 1C and 1D) have previously
been mapped, among which only the USH1B gene has been cloned. Using
homozygosity mapping in a consanguineous family from Morocco, we identified
a novel locus for USH1, USH1E, mapping to chromosome band 21q21. The
delimited 15 cM interval is flanked by the loci D21S1905 and D21S1913.
Subsequent segregation analysis of two families affected by USH1, in which
the A, B, C and D loci had been excluded, also excluded the involvement of
the USH1E locus, therefore indicating the existence of at least one more
locus for USH1.

The split hand-split foot (SHSF) malformation affects the central rays of the upper and lower limbs. It presents either as an isolated defect or in association with other skeletal or non-skeletal abnormalities. An autosomal SHSF locus (SHSFM1) was previously mapped to 7q22.1. We report the mapping of a second autosomal SHSF locus to 10q24→25. A panel of families was tested with 17 marker loci mapped to the 10q24→25 region. Maximum lod scores of 3.73, 4.33 and 4.33 at a recombination fraction of zero were obtained for the loci D10S198, PAX2 and D10S1239, respectively. An 19 cM critical region could be defined by haplotype analysis and several genes with a potential role in limb morphogenesis are located in this region. Heterogeneity testing indicates the existence of at least one additional autosomal SHSF locus. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder, for which several disease-associated loci have been located on different chromosomes. We have used a population-based linkage disequilibrium mapping approach in order to find potential AD-associated loci on chromosome 13. To avoid population stratification, late onset AD patients and age-matched controls were carefully chosen from the same geographical area in Eastern Finland, where the population is mainly descended from a small group of original founders. During the initial screening with chromosome 13-specific microsatellite markers, tetranucleotide marker D13S787 was found to be in linkage disequilibrium in the 13q12 region. Screening this region with additional microsatellite markers revealed that marker D13S292 was also significantly associated with AD. Stratification of the AD patients and controls into groups according to apolipoprotein E, sex, and familial/sporadic status indicated that the 13q12 locus was associated with female familial AD patients regardless of ApoE genotype. Based on the physical data from the region 13q12, markers D13S292 and D13S787 were estimated to reside in a 810kb long YAC clone 754h7 together with two infant brain-derived ESTs and the H,K-ATPase alpha-subunit protein gene (ATP1AL1). The localisation of these sequences at the linkage disequilibrium region suggests that they may be candidate genes involved in a sex-specific effect during development of AD. 相似文献

A second locus (GLC3B) for primary congenital glaucoma (Buphthalmos) maps to the 1p36 region 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10

Primary congenital glaucoma (gene symbol: GLC3) is an ocular disorder that
occurs for 0.01-0.04% of blind people. In the majority of familial cases
reported so far, this condition is inherited as an autosomal recessive
trait. We have recently used a group of 17 GLC3 families with a minimum of
two affected offspring and consanguinity in most of the parental generation
and mapped the first GLC3 locus (GLC3A) to the 2p21 region. Six families
did not show any linkage to the GLC3A locus and thus provided evidence for
genetic heterogeneity of this disorder. A total of eight families unlinked
to the 2p21 region were used to search for the chromosomal location of the
second GLC3 locus. Herein, we describe mapping of a new locus (designated
GLC3B) for primary congenital glaucoma to the short arm of chromosome 1
(1p36.2-36.1) that is situated centromeric to the neuroblastoma and
Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 2A (CMT2A) loci. A total of 17 DNA markers were
genotyped from this region of chromosome 1. Four families showed no
recombination with the two markers D1S2834 and D1S402 with a maximum lod
score of 4.510 and 4.157 respectively. Pairwise and multipoint linkage
analysis and inspection of the haplotypes revealed that the remaining four
families are not linked to this part of chromosome 1, thus providing
further evidence that at least one more locus for the autosomal recessive
form of GLC3 must exist in the genome. Based on the recombination events,
the overall linkage map of this region is: tel-D1S1192-D1S1635-D1S1193 -
(D1S1597/-D1S489/D1S228)- [GLC3B/D1S2834/D1S402] - (D1S1176/D1S507/D1S407)
- D1S2728-(MFAP2/D1S170) - D1S1368 - D1S436- D1S1592-cen.

The distal hereditary motor neuropathy (dHMN) is a rare genetically and clinically heterogeneous disorder characterized by weakness and wasting of distal limb muscles in absence of overt sensory abnormalities. Recently, pyramidal signs have been also described in some patients with dominant or recessive dHMN, and two different loci have been identified in families affected by dHMN complicated with pyramidal dysfunction. We investigated an Italian family affected by an autosomal dominant dHMN complicated by pyramidal signs in order to map a new gene locus. The disease maps to a novel locus in a 26-cM region flanked by D4S1552 and D4S2930 on chromosome 4q34.3-35.2. Three candidate genes ( SNX25 , CASP3 and TUBB4Q ) located in the critical region were screened for the presence of mutations by heteroduplex analysis. No mutations have been detected in the analyzed genes. In conclusion, the new private genetic locus we reported further confirms the wide heterogeneity of dHMN. 相似文献

Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy (LGMD) is a myopathy with clinical and transmission heterogeneity. The recessive form, LGMD2, has been recently mapped by linkage analysis to 15q. As an attempt to identify the gene involved in this pathology, we tested as candidate gene the LD locus, called LD for limb deformity. This gene has recently been identified and mapped to chromosome 15q13-q14. It is homologous to the murine formin gene which is localized to mouse chromosome 2. Mutations in this murine gene have been shown to cause limb deformity and kidney defect. YAC clones containing the LD gene were isolated and utilised to confirm the cytogenetic localisation. Internal DNA polymorphisms of the LD locus were analyzed in LGMD2 and CEPH families. The LD gene was mapped between the alpha cardiac actin gene and the D15S24 locus. Crossovers between the LGMD2 and the LD loci excluded the LD gene as a candidate for LGMD2. 相似文献

Rapidly progressive autosomal dominant parkinsonism and dementia with
pallido-ponto-nigral degeneration (PPND) is a neurodegenerative disorder
which begins later in life (> 30 years of age) and is characterized by
rapidly progressive parkinsonism, dystonia, dementia, perservative
vocalizations and pyramidal tract dysfunction. The disease is observed in a
large American family that includes almost 300 members in nine generations
with 34 affected individuals. In this kindred evidence for linkage to
chromosome 17q21 was obtained with a maximum lod score of 9.08 for the
D17S958 locus. Multilocus analysis positions the disease gene in an
approximately 10 cM region between D17S250 and D17S943. Notably, the
disease locus for a clinically distinct familial neurodegenerative disease
named 'disinhibition-dementia-parkinsonism- amyotrophy complex' (DDPAC) was
recently mapped to the same region of chromosome 17, suggesting that PPND
and DDPAC may possibly originate from mutations in the same gene.

Autosomal dominant congenital cataract is a clinically and genetically
heterogeneous lens disease. Here we report the linkage of a locus for
autosomal dominant posterior polar cataract (CPP) to the distal short arm
of chromosome 1. To map the CPP locus we performed molecular genetic
linkage analysis using microsatellite markers in a three- generation
pedigree. After exclusion of 13 known loci and candidate lens genes for
autosomal dominant cataract, we obtained significantly positive LOD scores
for markers D1S508 (Z = 3.14, theta = 0) and D1S468 (Z = 2.71, theta = 0).
Multipoint analysis gave a maximum LOD score of 3.48 (theta = 0.07) between
markers D1S508 and D1S468. From haplotype data, however, CPP probably lies
in the telomeric interval D1S2845- 1pter, which includes the locus for the
clinically distinct Volkman congenital cataract (CCV). This study provides
the first evidence for genetic heterogeneity of autosomal dominant
posterior polar cataract for which a locus had been linked previously to
chromosome 16q.

LGMD1D is an autosomal dominant limb girdle muscular dystrophy caused by variants in the DNAJB6 gene. This is typically an adult-onset disorder characterized by moderately progressive proximal muscle weakness without respiratory or bulbar involvement; however phenotypic variability is often observed with some individuals having earlier onset and more severe symptoms. Here, we present a family with a novel NM_005494.2:c.271T > G p.(Phe91Val) variant in DNAJB6 with a late-onset, mild and slowly progressive form of the disease, including one individual, who in her 7th decade of life has subclinical LGMD1D with only mild features on muscle biopsy and MRI. Unlike previously reported cases where missense variants affecting the Phe91 amino acid residue are associated with a more severe form of the disease, this family represents the mild end of the LGMD1D clinical spectrum. Therefore, this family adds further complexity to the genotype-phenotype correlation in DNAJB6-associated muscular dystrophies. 相似文献
