Quality assessment of whole genome mapping data in the refined familial spastic paraplegia interval on chromosome 14q.

چکیده
Autosomal dominant familial spastic paraplegia (AD-FSP) is a genetically heterogeneous neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive spasticity of the lower limbs. Three loci on chromosome 14q (SPG3), 2p (SPG4), and 15q (SPG6) were shown to be responsible for AD-FSP. Analysis of recombination events in three SPG3-linked families allowed us to narrow the critical interval from 9 to 5 cM. An approximately 5-Mb YAC contig comprising 32 clones and 90 STSs was built from D14S301 to D14S991, encompassing this region of 14q21. Fifty-six ESTs assigned previously to this region with radiation hybrid (RH) panels Genebridge 4 and G3 were precisely localized on the YAC contig. The 90 STSs positioned on the contig were tested on the TNG RH panel to compare our YAC-based map with an RH map at a high level of resolution. Comparison between our map and the whole genome mapping data on this interval of chromosome 14q is discussed.

Mapping of a complicated familial spastic paraplegia to locus SPG4 on chromosome 2p.
Autosomal dominant familial spastic paraplegia (AD-FSP) is a degenerative disorder of the central motor system characterised by progressive spasticity of the lower limbs. AD-FSP has been divided into pure and complicated forms. Pure AD-FSP is genetically heterogeneous; three loci have been mapped to chromosomes 14q (SPG3), 2p (SPG4), and 15q (SPG6), whereas no loci responsible for complicated f...
متن کاملGenetic mapping of a susceptibility locus for disc herniation and spastic paraplegia on 6q23.3-q24.1.
It has been suggested that a genetic factor(s) or a familial predisposition may contribute to the clinical manifestations of disc herniation; moreover, no genetic linkage between spinal disc herniation and spastic paraplegia has ever been described. A family with consanguineous parents and four of eight sibs affected by multiple disc herniations and spastic paraplegia was clinically and genetic...
متن کاملNovel mutation in the SPG3A gene in an African American family with an early onset of hereditary spastic paraplegia.
BACKGROUND Mutations in a novel GTPase gene SPG3A cause an autosomal dominant hereditary spastic paraplegia linked to chromosome 14q (SPG3), which accounts for approximately 10% to 15% of all autosomal dominant hereditary spastic paraplegia cases. The mutational spectrum of the SPG3A gene and the phenotype/genotype correlations have not yet been established. OBJECTIVE To describe a kindred wi...
متن کاملSpastin gene mutation in Japanese with hereditary spastic paraplegia.
Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) is a cluster of genetically heterogeneous disorders that has spastic paraplegia as the central feature. Autosomal dominant HSP (AD-HSP) is also genetically heterogeneous and seven loci have been identified so far on chromosomes 14q (SPG3), 2p (SPG4), 15q (SPG6), 8q (SPG8), 12q (SPG10), 19q (SPG12), and 2q (SPG13). Among them, the SPG4 gene named spastin (GenB...
متن کاملHereditary spastic paraplegia linked to chromosome 14q11-q21: reduction of the SPG3 locus interval from 5.3 to 2.7 cM.
EDITOR—Recently, Reid et al reported reduction of the chromosome 12q locus for autosomal dominant hereditary spastic paraplegia. We now report reduction of the chromosome 14q locus for autosomal dominant hereditary spastic paraplegia (SPG3, OMIM 182600). Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) (also known as Strümpell-Lorrain syndrome) is a heterogeneous group of disorders characterised by progress...
