Genetic polymorphism of the murine myogenic gene Myo-D1.
Polymorphism of the myogenic gene, Myo-D1, has been sought to examine genetic mechanisms which control skeletal muscle development. By Southern analysis, three restriction-fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) have been found in various mouse strains using the TaqI, SacI and BglII restriction endonucleases and a full-length cDNA Myo-D1 probe. Reference to the distribution of RFLPs in different mouse strains derived from Mus mus (M.m.) domesticus and M.m. musculus subspecies suggests that Myo-D1 rearrangements are subject to nonrandom association. The biological significance of RFLP of the Myo-D1 gene is yet to be determined.
