title: Linkage analysis of the human dopamine beta-hydroxylase gene.
abstract: The human gene for dopamine beta-hydroxylase (D beta H) has been mapped to chromosome 9q34. Using polymerase chain reaction amplification of exon 11 of the D beta H gene followed by digestion of the reaction products with FnuDII (BstUI), we detected a low-frequency restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP). The CEPH panel of family DNAs was genotyped for this RFLP, enabling us to determine the linkage relationships between D beta H and four other loci previously mapped to human chromosome 9q. We obtained two-point recombination frequencies (theta) between D beta H and arginosuccinate synthetase (theta = 0, LOD = 7.37), the ABO blood group locus (theta = 0, LOD = 4.5), CRI-P111 (theta = 0, LOD = 2.1), and D9S31 (theta = .06, LOD = 2.81).
