The gene encoding the human mitochondrial citrate transporter designated SLC20A3 was mapped to chromosome 22 by analyzing its segregation in a panel of human-hamster somatic cell hybrids. This assignment was confirmed by fluorescence in situ hybridization to metaphase chromosomes, and the gene was further localized to band 22q11.21. The gene is located in a critical region associated with allelic losses in a variety of clinical syndromes, including DiGeorge syndrome, velo-cardio-facial syndrome and a subtype of schizophrenia.
通过分析人类-仓鼠体细胞杂交细胞系中的分离情况,将编码人类线粒体柠檬酸转运蛋白(命名为SLC20A3)的基因定位到了22号染色体上。通过对中期染色体进行荧光原位杂交,证实了这一定位,并且该基因进一步定位于22q11.21带。该基因位于与多种临床综合征(包括DiGeorge综合征、心脏-面部综合征和精神分裂症的一个亚型)中的等位基因缺失相关的关键区域。
