Genetic linkage analysis of chromosome 19 markers in malignant hyperthermia.
Previous studies have reported that malignant hyperthermia susceptibility is caused in some families by inherited variation in a gene located on the short arm of chromosome 19 near to, or identical with, the ryanodine receptor gene (RYR1); this is expressed in skeletal muscle as a calcium release channel of the sarcoplasm reticulum. In other families, a gene in this location is excluded, but th...
متن کاملLinkage Disequilibrium Mapping of the Replicated Type 2 Diabetes Linkage Signal on Chromosome 1q
OBJECTIVE Linkage of the chromosome 1q21-25 region to type 2 diabetes has been demonstrated in multiple ethnic groups. We performed common variant fine-mapping across a 23-Mb interval in a multiethnic sample to search for variants responsible for this linkage signal. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS In all, 5,290 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were successfully genotyped in 3,179 type 2 di...
متن کاملGetting a Clue from 1q: Gain of Chromosome 1q in Cancer
Cytogenetic abnormalities including the gain and loss of chromosomes play an important role in oncogenesis. Aberrations involving chromosome 1 are one of the most common anomalies reported among human neoplasms and have been observed in both solid tumors and hematological malignancies. This review highlights the prognostic import of cytogenetic abnormalities involving 1q in childhood cancers an...
متن کاملLoss of heterozygosity on chromosome 1q in human breast cancer.
Cytogenetic markers involving the long arm of chromosome 1 are the most frequently observed karyotypic changes seen in breast cancer. Based on cytogenetic data, we have used polymorphic DNA markers to search for allelic losses at this chromosome region among 48 breast carcinomas. For SPTA1, allelic losses were seen in 6 of 26 (23%) informative carcinomas, while 3 of 13 (23%) and 5 of 19 (26%) i...
متن کاملEarly age at diagnosis in families providing evidence of linkage to the hereditary prostate cancer locus (HPC1) on chromosome 1.
In a recent study of 91 families having at least three first degree relatives with prostate cancer, we reported the localization of a major susceptibility locus for prostate cancer (HPC1) to chromosome 1 [band q24; J. R. Smith et al., Science (Washington DC), 274: 1371-1373, 1996]. There was significant evidence for locus heterogeneity, with an estimate of 34% of the families being linked to th...
