β¦ Synopsis
The urofacial (Ochoa) syndrome (UFS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by abnormal facial expression and urinary abnormalities. Previously, we mapped the gene to a genomic interval of approximately 1 cM on chromosome region 10q23-24, using families from Columbia.
Here we demonstrate genetic homogeneity of the syndrome through homozygosity mapping in American patients with Irish heritage. We established a physical map and identified novel polymorphic markers in the UFS critical region. Haplotype analysis using the new markers mapped the UFS gene within one YAC clone of 1,410 kb. We also determined the precise location of the gene encoding for glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (GOT1) within the new UFS critical region and determined its genomic structure. However, mutation analysis excluded GOT1 as a candidate for the UFS gene. Am.

The gene that encodes the human β£2 subunit of the inhibitory glycine receptor (GLRA2) is located on the X chromosome (Xp22.2) in a candidate region for a number of neurological disorders. Recently, an exclusion mapping strategy identified this region to be concordant in familial Rett syndrome (RTT)

The gene encoding the GABA B receptor (GABA B R1) maps close to the HLA-F locus on chromosome 6p21.3 in the same region to which a major susceptibility locus for common subtypes of idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE), designated as EJM1, has been localized. Moreover, animal models suggest that the

Human Xp22.2 has been proposed as a candidate region for the Rett syndrome (RTT) gene. M6b, a member of the proteolipid protein gene family, was mapped to Xp22.2 within one of the RTT candidate regions. In this article we describe the structure of the M6b gene, refine the physical mapping of M6b bet

Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) results in part from genetic disorders. Recently, missense mutations of the cardiac actin gene have been reported to cause DCM. We studied 136 Japanese DCM cases to elucidate how frequently the gene mutations are involved in its pathogenesis. Genomic DNA samples were obt

Tourette syndrome (TS) is a complex inherited neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by multiple motor and phonic tics. Involvement of central norepinephrine mechanisms is suggested by central norepinephrinic hyperactivity in patients with TS and by the therapeutic effects of the presynaptic β£ 2 -a
