YAC/BAC-based physical and transcript mapping around the gracile axonal dystrophy (gad) locus identifies Uchl1, Pmx2b, Atp3a2, and Hip2 genes.
We generated a yeast artificial chromosome (YAC)/bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC)-based physical and transcript map of a region containing the gracile axonal dystrophy (gad) locus on mouse chromosome 5. The YAC/BAC contig consists of 13 YAC and 49 BAC clones onto which 4 genes, 40 expressed sequence tags, and 7 new DNA polymorphisms were ordered. Using this physical map, we mapped Uchl1 encoding ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase I, whose deletion has been determined to cause the gad mutation. We also mapped three other recently identified genes: Hip2, encoding Huntingtin interacting protein 2; Atp3a2, encoding a P-type ATPase; and Pmx2b, encoding PHOX2b.
