Abstract
A mouse model is an invaluable tool to tackle genesis of human congenital diseases that have so far eluded human studies. Homozygote for the iv mutation, the murine Si/Col strain presents a left-right lateralization defect of thoracic and abdominal organs and heart defects very similar to human ones. This iv mutation has been mapped to the region between the Aat and Igh-C loci, suggesting the presence of an equivalent human gene in the human syntenic 14q3 region. A precise linkage map of the region is, there-fore, of great interest since it will contribute to the genetic approach of the iv gene. Analysis of 242 backcross progeny from Mus musculus (MAI) or spretus strains of mice and SI/Col mice has allowed mapping of the iv gene to a linkage group of eight markers. It includes four genes: Aat (α1-antitrypsin), Ckb (creatine kinase, brain form), Crip (cysteine-rich intestinal protein), and Igh-C (immunoglobulin heavy chain constant region complex); three murine microsatellites: D12Mit6, D12Mit7, and D12Mit8; and one new marker, D12Mtpl, defined by a minisatellite human probe, pYNZ2. After analysis of the data by the LINKAGE program, the following multilocus map has been constructed: centromere-D12Mit6-6.9 cM-D12Mit7-1.7 cM-D12Mtp1-2.6 cM-Aat-5.0 cM-(Ckb, Igh-C)-0.4 cM-D12Mit8-0.4 cM-Crip-11.2 cM-iv-telomere. This map differs from the previous map in placing iv locus telomeric to Igh-C. D12Mit6 and D12Mit7 are now precisely mapped centromeric to the locus Aat. In addition, a new locus D12Mtp1 is located between Aat and D12Mit7.
