Genetic and physical mapping of the locus for autosomal dominant renal Fanconi syndrome, on chromosome 15q15.3.

ABSTRACT: Autosomal dominant renal Fanconi syndrome is a genetic model for the study of proximal renal tubular transport pathology. We were able to map the locus for this disease to human chromosome 15q15.3 by genotyping a central Wisconsin pedigree with 10 affected individuals. After a whole-genome scan with highly polymorphic simple sequence repeat markers, a maximum LOD score of 3.01 was calculated for marker D15S659 on chromosome 15q15.3. Linkage and haplotype analysis for an additional 24 markers flanking D15S659 narrowed the interval to approximately 3 cM, with the two highest single-point LOD scores observed being 4.44 and 4.68 (for D15S182 and D15S537, respectively). Subsequently, a complete bacterial artificial chromosome contig was constructed, from the High Throughput Genomic Sequence Dat
