From a large collection of families with autosomal recessive non-syndromic hearing impairment (NSHI) from Pakistan, linkage has been established for two unrelated consanguineous families to 19p13.2. This new locus was assigned the name DFNB68. A 10 cM genome scan and additional fine mapping were carried out using microsatellite marker loci. Linkage was established for both families to DFNB68 with maximum multipoint LOD scores of 4.8 and 4.6. The overlap of the homozygous regions between the two families was bounded by D19S586 and D19S584, which limits the locus interval to 1.9 cM and contains 1.4 Mb. The genes CTL2, KEAP1 and CDKN2D were screened but were negative for functional sequence variants.
在来自巴基斯坦的大量常染色体隐性非综合征性听力障碍(NSHI)家族中,已确定两个无亲缘关系的近亲家族与19p13.2存在连锁关系。这个新位点被命名为DFNB68。使用微卫星标记位点进行了10厘摩的基因组扫描和额外的精细定位。两个家族与DFNB68均建立了连锁关系,最大多点对数优势分数分别为4.8和4.6。两个家族纯合区域的重叠部分由D19S586和D19S584界定,这将位点区间限制在1.9厘摩,包含1.4兆碱基对。对CTL2、KEAP1和CDKN2D基因进行了筛查,但未发现功能性序列变异。
