Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a common disorder characterized by cardiac dilation and reduced systolic function. To identify a cardiomyopathy gene, we studied a family with DCM associated with sinus node dysfunction, supraventricular tachyarrhythmias, conduction delay, and stroke. A general linkage approach was used to localize the disease gene in this family. Linkage to D3S2303 was identified with a two-point lod score of 6.09 at a recombination fraction of 0.00. Haplotype analyses mapped this locus to a 30 cM region of chromosome 3p22-p25, excluding candidate genes encoding a G-protein (GNAI2), calcium channel (CACNL1A2), sodium channel (SCN5A), and inositol triphosphate receptor (ITPR1). These data indicate that a gene causing DCM associated with rhythm and conduction abnormalities is located on chromosome 3p, and represent the first step toward disease gene identification.
扩张型心肌病(DCM)是一种常见的疾病,其特征为心脏扩张和收缩功能降低。为了鉴定一种心肌病基因,我们研究了一个患有DCM且伴有窦房结功能障碍、室上性快速心律失常、传导延迟和中风的家系。采用一般连锁分析方法在该家系中定位疾病基因。在重组率为0.00时,与D3S2303的连锁分析得到两点连锁对数记分6.09。单倍型分析将该基因座定位到3号染色体p22 - p25的30 cM区域,排除了编码G蛋白(GNAI2)、钙通道(CACNL1A2)、钠通道(SCN5A)和三磷酸肌醇受体(ITPR1)的候选基因。这些数据表明,一个导致与节律和传导异常相关的DCM的基因位于3号染色体p上,这是疾病基因鉴定的第一步。
