Linkage of a locus for carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome type I (CDG1) to chromosome 16p-markers
- Univ. of Gothenburg (Sweden); and others
Carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome type I is a multisystem disease with early severe nervous system involvement. The disease, which is inherited as a recessive autosomal trait, is biochemically characterized by complex defects in the terminal carbohydrate residues of a number of serum glycoproteins. This can be most readily detected in transferrin. A whole genome scan was initiated in order to try localizing the gene (CDG1) with linkage technique. We therefore analyzed 25 CDG1-pedigrees with several highly polymorphic microsatellite markers and after exclusion of about 30% of the genome, linkage was detected with markers located in chromosome region 16p. The lod score (Zmax) was above 8 (theta=0.00) for several markers in the region. In order to further sublocalize the CDG1 gene, recombination and linkage disequilibrium analyses were performed. Recombination events in some pedigrees indicated that the CDG1 gene is located in a 13 cM interval between microsatellite markers D16S406 and D16S500. Furthermore, allelic association was shown for marker D16S406, indicating that the CDG1 gene is located close to this. No heterogeneity could be detected in the European family material tested by us.
