Localization of the reeler gene relative to flanking loci on mouse chromosome 5

The location of the reeler (rl) locus in mice in the paracentromeric part of chromosome (Chr) 5, proximal to the T(5;12)31H translocation breakpoint, has been confirmed. Analysis of DNA from animals with different doses of the proximal part of Chr 5 and from congenic mice showed that the Pgy-1 locus is the closet marker to rl, whereas En-2 is located farther, distal to the T31H breakpoint. Together with recently published evidence (Martin et al. 1989), our data suggest the following order: Cen-rl/Pgy-1-T31H-En-2.
