Mapping of the mouse fibronectin gene (Fn-1) to chromosome 1: conservation of the Idh-1-Cryg-Fn-1 synteny group in mammals. uri icon

abstract

  • Restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) were observed in BamHI-digested mouse DNA probed with a cDNA for human fibronectin. Analysis of the inheritance of fibronectin RFLPs in AKXD and SWXJ recombinant inbred strains of mice mapped the locus, Fn-1, to the midregion of mouse chromosome 1 about 4 cM distal from the loci encoding gamma-crystallins (Cryg). Loci homologous to genes in the centromeric third of mouse chromosome 1 are also syntenic in rats, humans, and cattle and may, therefore, mark a large conserved chromosomal segment of the mammalian genome.
