Abstract:

We have constructed a yeast artificial chromosome contig (YAC) map of human chromosome 4q21-q23 across the Parkinson's disease region by combining molecular and fluorescence in situ hybridization techniques. This map contains 55 YACs and 51 molecular markers, including 23 polymorphic markers. We have also isolated one P1 and 33 bacterial artificial chromosomes located within this contig. Plasmid libraries were generated from 11 of these BAC and P1 clones, and 614 random plasmid clones were sequenced for a total of about 200 kb. This contig allowed us to precisely determine the location of 18 transcripts within the D4S2460-D4S2986 interval, including the alpha-synuclein gene found to be mutated in some families with Parkinson's disease.
