ABSTRACT
X-linked lymphoproliferative syndrome is an inherited immunodeficiency for which the responsible gene is currently unknown. Several megabase-sized deleted regions mapping to Xq25 have been identified in XLP patients, and more recently a 130-kb deletion has been reported (Lamartine et al., 1996; Lanyi et al., 1996). To establish a physical map of this deleted region and to identify the XLP gene, two cosmid contigs were established (Lamartine et al., 1996). However, the physical map of this region is still uncompleted and controversial and three points remain unsolved (1) the centromeric-telomeric orientation of the whole region, (2) the relative orientation of the two contigs, and (3) the size of the gap between the two contigs. To provide a definitive answer to these questions, high-resolution mapping by fluorescence in situ hybridization on combed DNA and molecular approaches were combined to establish the physical map of the XLP region over 600 kb. Our results identified a gap of 150 kb between the two contigs, established the relative orientation of one contig to the other, and determine the centromeric-telomeric orientation of the whole region. Our results show that the order of the marker over this region is cen.1D10T7-DF83-DXS982.tel.
