A Comprehensive Human Linkage Map with Centimorgan Density

Abstract: In the last few years there have been rapid advances in developing genetic maps for humans, greatly enhancing our ability to localize and identify genes for inherited disorders. Through the collaborative efforts of three large groups generating microsatellite markers and the efforts of the 110 CEPH collaborators, a comprehensive human linkage map is presented here. It consists of 5840 loci, of which 970 are uniquely ordered, covering 4000 centimorgans on the sex-averaged map. Of these loci, 3617 are polymerase… Show more

“…Indeed, the first large scale effort to produce a human genetic map, was performed mainly using RFLP markers, the best known genetic markers at the time [20]. However, with the generalisation of PCR and the demonstration of Mendelian inheritance of the multiple alleles due to variations in the number of short nucleotide repeats observed at microsatellite loci [50,81], a change in strategy was quickly made and all the successive genetic maps in humans [14,18,82] were based mainly on this new type of marker. Two main reasons were behind this quick shift.…”

“…LOH, FISH, and CGH were performed as previously described (Cliby et al, 1993;Ritland et al, 1995;Qian et al, 1995;Mohapatra et al, 1995Mohapatra et al, , 1998Piper et al, 1995). Selected microsatellite markers were placed in their most probable linkage order based upon radiation hybrid and physical mapping (GDB Human Genome Database, 1990;Collins et al, 1992;Murray et al, 1994;Ashworth et al, 1995). Allelic dosage for LOH analyses was determined by visual inspection and by multiplex PCR using a control primer set to normalize for DNA loading.…”

“…The contigs were positioned using markers that were also present in the available genetic (Murray et al 1994;Dib et al 1996) or radiation hybrid (RH) maps of the human genome. The average STS spacing of these combined maps is ∼1/250 kb for the whole genome maps Hudson et al 1995), and up to 1/70 kb for selected single chromosomes (Chumakov et al 1992;Foote et al 1992;Collins et al 1995;Doggett et al 1995;Gemmill et al 1995;Krauter et al 1995;Bouffard et al 1997;Nagaraja et al 1997).…”
