Localization of the gene encoding a neutral amino acid transporter-like protein to human chromosome band 19q13.3 and characterization of a simple sequence repeat DNA polymorphism.
The gene encoding a human neutral amino acid transporter-like protein (SLC1A5) was mapped to chromosome band 19q13.3 by fluorescence in situ hybridization to metaphase chromosomes. A simple sequence repeat DNA polymorphism of the form (GT)n was identified in the 3'-untranslated region of SLC1A5 mRNA. Studies in the CEPH families showed significant evidence of linkage between this DNA polymorphism and markers localized to the distal long arm of chromosome 19.
