Abstract:
We conducted chromosomal mapping of the pma gene that is a causative gene in the peroneal muscular atrophy mouse, which shows a club foot at birth and unusual gait due to a dropped foot in the adult. Linkage analyses using backcross progeny revealed a significant linkage between the pma gene and three microsatellite markers, D5Mit263 at 73 cM, D5Mit141 and D5Mit97 at 74 cM on Chr 5. The gene order was determined as follows: centromere-D5Mit263-[2.65 cM]-D5Mit141-[2.56 cM]-pma-[5.13 cM]-D5Mit97-telomere.
