genotyping of polymorphic microsatellite markers linked to rb1 locus in iranian population

نویسندگان
چکیده

background: retinoblastoma is the most common intraocular tumor in childhood and mutation in the rb1 gene will trigger the tumorigenesis. so far, a wide range of the mutations along the length of rb1 gene have been reported. however, some could not be detected by common detection methods. in such condition, linkage analysis using microsatellite markers is suggested to trace unknown rb1 mutations in the affected family. the aim of the present study was to evaluate the heterozygosity rates and genotyping of three microsatellite markers near or inside of the rb1 gene. methods: totally, 120 unrelated healthy people from fardis, karaj, iran were recruited and from each participant genomic dna was extracted from 5 ml of peripheral blood. three microsatellite markers d13s153, d13s156 and d13s128 located within or adjacent to the rb1 gene were selected for linkage analysis. the reliability of microsatellite markers and linkage analysis were investigated in 10 members of 2 families with familial retinoblastoma. results: our results showed that heterozygosity rates for the three markers d13s153, d13s156 and d13s128 were 74, 70 and 78%, respectively. on the other hand, 2 and 36 out of 120 people were homozygote and heterozygous for all loci, respectively. conclusion: given the heterozygosity rates, it may be concluded that all microsatellite markers d13s153, d13s156 and d13s128 are informative and have a high rate of heterozygosity and sensitivity. therefore, tracing the unknown rb1 mutated alleles using linkage analysis in iranian family with familial retinoblastoma could be recommended by means of these three microsatellite markers.

Heterozygosis deficit of polymorphic markers linked to the β-globin gene cluster region in the Iranian population

Objective(s): Iran is considered as one of the high-prevalence areas for β-thalassemia with a rate of about 10% carrier frequency. Molecular diagnosis of the disease is performed both by direct sequencing and indirectly by the use of polymorphic markers present in the beta globin gene cluster. However, to date there is no reliable information on the application of the markers in the Iranian pop...

Genotyping common SNP and a microsatellite sequence closely linked to waxy gene in rice by DNA based markers

The potential of different DNA based molecular markers was examined for the detection of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the waxy gene and a microsatellite (SSR) sequence closely linked to it in a collection of rice varieties. DNA was extracted from leaf samples of 68 different rice cultivars by the CTAB method and specific primers were designed for the amplification of waxy gene and SS...

UGT1A1 gene linkage analysis: application of polymorphic markers rs4148326/rs4124874 in the Iranian population

Objective(s): Mutations in the UGT1A1 gene are responsible for hyperbilirubinemia syndromes including Crigler-Najjar type 1 and 2 and Gilbert syndrome. In view of the genetic heterogeneity and involvement of large numbers of the disease causing mutations, the application of polymorphic markers in the UGTA1 gene could be useful in molecular diagnosis of the disease. Materials and Methods: In the...

Prediction of retinoblastoma and osteosarcoma: linkage analysis of families by using polymorphic markers around RB1 locus.

PURPOSE Linkage analysis at the retinoblastoma gene (RB1) locus is required for identification of individuals at risk of developing retinoblastoma and osteosarcoma. Identification of disease causing mutations is necessary for accurate risk prediction. However, the usefulness of direct mutation analysis is impeded by the size and complexity of the RB1 gene. The authors report an alternative poly...
