A gene for Holt-Oram syndrome (HOS) has been previously mapped to chromosome 12q2 and designated HOS1. We have identified a HOS patient with a de novo chromosomal rearrangement involving 12q. Detailed cytogenetic analysis of this case reveals three breaks on 12q, and two of these are within the HOS1 interval. By using a combination of chromosome painting and FISH with YACs and cosmids, it has been possible to map these breakpoints within the critical HOS1 interval and thus provide a focus for HOS gene-identification efforts.
霍尔特-奥拉姆综合征(HOS)的一个基因先前已被定位到12号染色体长臂2区,并命名为HOS1。我们鉴定出一名患有涉及12号染色体q臂的新生染色体重排的HOS患者。对该病例进行的详细细胞遗传学分析显示,12号染色体q臂上有三个断裂点,其中两个在HOS1区间内。通过结合染色体描绘以及使用酵母人工染色体(YAC)和黏粒进行荧光原位杂交(FISH),已能够将这些断裂点定位在关键的HOS1区间内,从而为HOS基因鉴定工作提供了一个重点研究方向。
