As a step toward identifying the molecular defect in patients afflicted with progressive myoclonus epilepsy type 1 (EPM1), we have assembled a cosmid contig of the candidate EPM1 region in 21q22.3. The contig constitutes a collection of 87 different cosmids spanning 405 kb based on a derived HindIII restriction map. Potential CpG-rich islands have been identified based on the restriction map generated from eight different rare-cutting enzymes. This contig contains the genetic material required for the isolation of expressed sequences and the identification of the gene defective in EPM1 and possibly other disorders mapping to this region. 15 refs., 1 fig.
