Noonan syndrome (NS) is an autosomal dominant condition with facial dysmorphy, congenital cardiac defects and short stature. A gene for NS has previously been linked to a 14 cM region in 12q24. We performed linkage analysis in a four generation Belgian family with NS in some individuals and cardio-facio-cutaneous (CFC) syndrome in others. Clinical data and linkage data in this family indicate that NS and CFC syndrome result from a variable expression of the same genetic defect. We report a maximum lod score of 4.43 at zero recombination for marker D12S84 in 12q24. A crossover in this pedigree narrows the candidate gene region for NS to a 5 cM interval between markers D12S84 and D12S1341.
努南综合征(NS)是一种常染色体显性疾病,具有面部畸形、先天性心脏缺陷和身材矮小等症状。此前,一个与NS相关的基因已被定位到12号染色体长臂24区(12q24)一个14厘摩(cM)的区域。我们对一个四代比利时家族进行了连锁分析,家族中部分个体患有NS,部分患有心脏-颜面-皮肤综合征(CFC)。该家族的临床数据和连锁数据表明,NS和CFC综合征是由同一基因缺陷的可变表达引起的。我们报告,在12q24区域的标记D12S84处,零重组时最大对数优势分数(lod score)为4.43。此谱系中的一次交叉将NS的候选基因区域缩小至标记D12S84和D12S1341之间一个5 cM的区间。
