Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) is the rate-limiting enzyme for catecholamine biosynthesis and a candidate gene for manic-depressive illness. The TH locus was typed for a BglII RFLP using a cDNA clone Ty7 in four large kindreds. Pairwise analyses and multipoint analyses were carried out to map the TH locus more precisely in the region of the linked markers: D11S12, INS, and HRAS1 on 11p. Results confirm the close linkage between TH with these previously mapped markers and support a most likely ordering which places TH on the side of INS where the centromere lies.
酪氨酸羟化酶(TH)是儿茶酚胺生物合成的限速酶,也是躁郁症的候选基因。利用一个cDNA克隆Ty7,对四个大家系中的BglII限制性片段长度多态性(RFLP)进行了TH基因座分型。进行了成对分析和多点分析,以便在11号染色体短臂上的连锁标记D11S12、胰岛素基因(INS)和哈-柔二氏肉瘤病毒癌基因1(HRAS1)区域更精确地定位TH基因座。结果证实了TH与这些先前定位的标记之间的紧密连锁,并支持一种最可能的排序,即将TH置于着丝粒所在的INS一侧。
