β¦ Synopsis
We have studied the genetic linkage of two markers, the apolipoprotein C1 (APOC1) gene and a cytochrome P450 (CYP2A) gene, in relation to the gene for myotonic dystrophy (DM). A peak lod score of 9.29 at 2 cM was observed for APOC1-DM, with a lod score of 8.55 at 4 cM for CYP2A-DM. These two markers also show close linkage to each other (theta max = 0.05, Zmax = 9.09). From examination of the genotypes of the recombinant individuals, CYP2A appears to map proximal to DM because in one recombinant individual CYP2A, APOC2 and CKMM had all recombined with DM. Evidence from another CYP2A-DM recombinant individual places CYP2A proximal to APOC2 and CKMM. Localisation of CYP2A on a panel of somatic cell hybrids also suggests that it is proximal to DM and APOC2/C1/E gene cluster.

## Abstract Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2A6 and __CYP2E1__ are enzymes with a high ability to activate a nitrosamine, 4β(methylnitrosamino)β1β(3βpyridyl)β1βbutanone (NNK), to its potent and ultimate carcinogens. The polymorphic __CYP2A6__ and __CYP2E1__ have been implicated in increased susceptibility to
Myotonic dystrophy is associated with disturbances in the insulin response, possibly due to an abnormality of the insulin receptor. Both the myotonic dystrophy (DM) and insulin receptor (INSR) genes are on chromosome 19. Using a cloned gene probe for INSR, we have studied its linkage relationships w
Cytochrome P450 genes from the CYP2A, CYP2B, and C Y P 2 F subfamilies form a tight cluster which we have localized on the detailed physical map of human chromosome 19. The corresponding three gene subfamilies are also clustered in the mouse genome, on the region of chromosome 7 known to be syntenic
