Man Using Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphisms
نویسنده
چکیده
We describe a new basis for the construction of a genetic linkage map of the human genome. The basic principle of the mapping scheme is to develop, by recombinant DNA techniques, random single-copy DNA probes capable of detecting DNA sequence polymorphisms, when hybridized to restriction digests of an individual's DNA. Each of these probes will define a locus. Loci can be expanded or contracted to include more or less polymorphism by further application of recombinant DNA technology. Suitably polymorphic loci can be tested for linkage relationships in human pedigrees by established methods; and loci can be arranged into linkage groups to form a true genetic map of "DNA marker loci." Pedigrees in which inherited traits are known to be segregating can then be analyzed, making possible the mapping of the gene(s) responsible for the trait with respect to the DNA marker loci, without requiring direct access to a specified gene's DNA. For inherited diseases mapped in this way, linked DNA marker loci can be used predictively for genetic counseling.

Growth hormone gene plays a critical role in regulating growth and metabolism which leads to potential correlations between the polymorphisms of this gene and economic trait. A 776 bp fragment within the intron 1 region of the growth hormone gene from 346 individuals of an F2 population of Japanese quail was amplified. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) product was digested using MspI restrict...

Background: Hemophilia B is an X-linked recessive coagulation disorder caused by factor IX deficiency. Analysis of factor IX gene polymorphisms is considered the best approach for prenatal diagnosis and carrier detection of hemophilia B where the identification of gene mutation is not easily possible. Objective: To study the frequency of three factor IX-linked restriction fragment length polym...

Comparison of the frequency of occurrence of restriction fragment length polymorphisms in control human DNAs and DNAs from infants dying from sudden infant death syndrome has indicated no significant difference in the case of restriction fragment length polymorphisms associated with the heat shock protein genes hsp70 and hsp90. A highly significant difference was detected, however, in the case ...
متن کاملIndividual-specific DNA fingerprinting in man using the oligonucleotide probe (GTG)5/(CAC)5.
Restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) associated with interspersed simple repetitive DNA arise from DNA fragment lengths that contain variable numbers of the repeated motifs. Using restriction enzymes with different 4 base pair recognition sites and the simple triplet repeat hybridization probe, (GTG)5/(CAC)5, DNA multilocus fingerprints can be obtained in man. Only the DNAs of mono...
