Linkage analysis of neurofibromatosis type 1. Study of a homogeneous North Italian population with five DNA markers of chromosome 17.
The authors report the results of a genetic analysis performed in 34 neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) Italian families using five loci tightly linked to NF1: D17S33, D17S82, D17S83, D17S37, and D17S36. A two-point linkage analysis was performed with the LINKAGE and the CRI-MAP programs. The map of the region was constructed using the MAP90 program. Data from the present study lend further support to evidence that all NF1 mutations are allelic and that the NF1 locus resides in the proximal region of chromosome 17q. Close linkage of NF1 to all the markers was found. Two of them, namely D17S82 and D17S83, showed the highest linkage with a value of 0 recombination frequency and lod scores of 3.77 and 4.02, respectively. The best map found is D17S33-D17S82-NF1-D17S83-D17S37-D17S36+ ++. The authors stress that knowledge of precise order is essential; if D17S82 and D17S83 are proved to flank the NF1 gene, they allow an acceptable presymptomatic diagnosis in informative families.
