Chromosome band 5q31 contains a large number of disease genes including those for limb girdle muscular dystrophy 1 (LGM1), an autosomal dominant form of hereditary deafness, corneal dystrophies, as well as a putative tumor suppressor gene involved in myelodysplastic syndrome/acute myeloid leukemia. To facilitate the identification of these genes, we prepared a YAC contig spanning the region from IL9 to D5S434. This was done with reference to a composite map consisting of markers which had been ordered physically by FISH, which was integrated with CEPH and CHLC markers that had been ordered genetically. These markers were used to screen the CEPH megaYAC library, and also to extract YACs from the CEPH-genethon physical map data base. YAC overlaps were used to confirm marker order and localize additional markers to the region. This YAC contig spans approximately 11 cM and contains 24 polymorphic microsatellite markers, 12 non-polymorphic STS markers and 6 known genes (including IL9, CDC25, EGR1, CD14, FGF1, GRL). A total of 51 YACs were isolated using these markers. YAC overlaps were identified by STS content and Alu-PCR hybridization. Thirty nine YACs fall within the minimum deleted region involved in acute myeloid leukemia (IL9 to D5S166 interval); these YACs were further used to order 10 microsatellite and 8 STS markers that had been regionally localized. This map and the new markers will be used to facilitate the search for candidate genes for the myeloid leukemia tumor suppressor and for LGM1.
