abstractText | We have investigated the degree of synteny between the long arm (q) of human chromosome 2 and the proximal portion of mouse chromosome 1. To define the limits of synteny, we have determined whether mouse homologs of seven human genes mapping to chromosome 2q cosegregated with anchor loci on mouse chromosome 1. The loci investigated were NEB/Neb, ELN/Eln, COL3A1/Col3a1, CRYG/Len-2, FN1/Fn-1, VIL/Vil, and COL6A3/Col6a3. Ren-1,2 and Acrg were included as two proximal mouse chromosome 1 anchor loci. The segregation of restriction fragment length polymorphisms at these loci was analyzed in the progeny of Mus spretus x C57BL/6J hybrids backcrossed to the C57BL/6J inbred strain. We found that five of the structural protein loci and the two anchor loci form a linkage group on proximal murine chromosome 1. The proposed gene order of this group of linked markers is centromere - Col3a1 |
