Werner syndrome (WRN) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by premature aging that has been mapped to the short arm of chromosome 8, 8p11.2-p12. To refine the genetic map around the WRN region, we have isolated eight microsatellites for this region from a microdissection library. We typed members of Japanese families with WRN on the basis of homozygosity mapping analysis. There was no obligate recombination between the WRN locus and microsatellite clone, MS8-134 (D8S1055). The maximum lod score was 20.28 at theta = 0.00. Alleles for MS8-134 showed association with WRN in a case-control study (OR = 3.55, 95% CI 1.56-8.07, P < 0.01). Such microsatellites from a microdissection library of the definite chromosome region may be useful for positional cloning of the WRN gene.
沃纳综合征（WRN）是一种常染色体隐性疾病，其特征为早衰，该疾病的基因已被定位于8号染色体短臂8p11.2 - p12区域。为了优化WRN区域周围的遗传图谱，我们从一个显微切割文库中为该区域分离出了8个微卫星。我们根据纯合性定位分析对患有WRN的日本家族成员进行了分型。在WRN基因座与微卫星克隆MS8 - 134（D8S1055）之间未发现明确的重组。在θ = 0.00时，最大对数优势分数为20.28。在一项病例对照研究中，MS8 - 134的等位基因显示与WRN相关（比值比= 3.55，95%可信区间1.56 - 8.07，P < 0.01）。来自特定染色体区域显微切割文库的此类微卫星可能有助于WRN基因的定位克隆。
