Long-range map of a 3.5-Mb region in Xp11.23-22 with a sequence-ready map from a 1.1-Mb gene-rich interval

Most of the yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs) isolated from the Xp11.23-22 region have shown instability and chimerism and are not a reliable resource for determining physical distances. We therefore constructed a long-range pulsed-field gel electrophoresis map that encompasses approximately 3.5 M...

Description
Summary:Most of the yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs) isolated from the Xp11.23-22 region have shown instability and chimerism and are not a reliable resource for determining physical distances. We therefore constructed a long-range pulsed-field gel electrophoresis map that encompasses approximately 3.5 Mb of genomic DNA between the loci TIMP and DXS146 including a CpG-rich region around the WASP and TFE-3 gene loci. A combined YAC-cosmid contig was constructed along the genomic map and was used for fine-mapping of 15 polymorphic microsatellites and 30 expressed sequence tags (ESTs) or sequence transcribed sites (STSs), revealing the following order: tel-(SYN-TIMP)-(DXS426-ELK1)-ZNF(CA) n-L1-DXS1367-ZNF81-ZNF21-DXS6616- (HB3-OATL1pseudogenes-DXS6950)-DXS6949-DXS694 1-DXS7464E(MG61)-GW1E(EBP)- DXS7927E(MG81)-RBM- DXS722-DXS7467E(MG21)-DXS1011E-WASP-DXS6940++ +-DXS7466E(MG44)-GF1- DXS226-DXS1126-DXS1240-HB1- DXS7469E-(DXS6665-DXS1470)-TFE3-DXS7468E-+ ++SYP-DXS1208-HB2E-DXS573-DXS1331- DXS6666-DXS1039-DXS 1426-DXS1416-DXS7647-DXS8222-DXS6850-DXS255++ +-CIC-5-DXS146-cen. A sequence-ready map was constructed for an 1100-kb gene-rich interval flanked by the markers HB3 and DXS1039, from which six novel ESTs/STSs were isolated, thus increasing the number of markers used in this interval to thirty. This precise ordering is a prerequisite for the construction of a transcription map of this region that contains numerous disease loci, including those for several forms of retinal degeneration and mental retardation. In addition, the map provides the base to delineate the corresponding syntenic region in the mouse, where the mutants scurfy and tattered are localized.
