Abstract

The HD locus has been assigned to 4p16.3 distal to the DNA segment D4S10. However, the precise location of this gene is still unknown. At least three regions, together encompassing more than 3.5 Mb of DNA, can still be considered as candidate regions for the HD gene. Our efforts are directed toward the cloning and the complete characterization of one of these regions. Thus far we have cloned 460 kb of DNA in contiguously overlapping cosmids distal to D4S111 and have developed a detailed long-range restriction map orienting the contig within the terminal region of 4p16.3. We characterized 15 CpG-rich islands defined by tightly clustered rare cutter restriction sites for the enzymes NotI, BssHII, EagI, NruI, and SacII. In addition, we show that the sequences associated with the CpG-rich islands detect cross-species conservation. The detailed genetic analysis of the 460-kb contig provides a framework for the identification of genes, which can be assessed for the characteristics expected for the HD gene.
