Homozygosity Mapping At Alstrom Syndrome To Chromosome 2p. Homozygosity mapping at alstrom syndrome to chromosome 2p. CollinGB, Marshall JD, Cardon LR and Nishina PM Hum Mol Genet (1997) 6 http://bioinformatics.well.ox.ac.uk/~lon/Pubs/0009063741.html
Extractions: Collin GB, Marshall JD, Cardon LR and Nishina PM Hum Mol Genet Alstrom syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by pigmentary retinal degeneration, sensorineural hearing loss, childhood obesity, non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia and chronic nephropathy. Features occasionally observed include acanthosis nigricans, hypogonadism, hypothyroidism, alopecia, short stature and cardiomyopathy. We report here the results of a linkage study in a large French Acadian kindred, as a first step in identifying the molecular basis of Alstrom syndrome. Evidence of a founder effect made if feasible to use a homozygosity mapping strategy to identify the chromosomal location of the Alstrom gene. In a genome-wide screen, haplotype sharing for a region on chromosome 2 was observed in all affected individuals. Two point linkage analysis resulted in a maximum lod score of 3.84 (theta = 0.00) for marker D2S292. By testing additional markers, the disease gene was localized to a 14.9 cM region on chromosome 2p. University of Oxford Wellcome Trust Centre Bioinformatics Home Publications

Related Stories Next Story Source: Jackson Laboratory Date: Bar Harbor Scientists at The Jackson Laboratory are working towards identifying the gene that causes Alström Syndrome. The research is providing increased understanding of the genetic basis for the disease and may offer fundamental insights into the underlying causes of obesity, diabetes, and sensory defects in humans. As part of the research effort, 46 living Alström individuals have been located in 10 countries, including the U.S. and Canada. Many of those individuals will be attending the Second International Alström Syndrome Gathering, sponsored by the Society for Alström Syndrome Families, July 17-21 in San Luis Obispo, Calif. The first Alström gathering was in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, in 1995, when only nine individuals were known. The rare inherited syndrome, first described in 1959 by Swedish physician C.H. Alström, is a disease of the young, causing progressively severe conditions such as blindness, hearing loss, kidney disease, scoliosis, obesity, heart disease, and non-insulin-dependent (type 2) diabetes. There is no known cure.
