The Huntington's disease (HD) gene has been localized by recombination events to a region covering 2.2 megabases (Mb) DNA within chromosome 4p16.3. We have screened three yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) libraries in order to isolate and characterize 44 YAC clones mapping to this region. Approximately 50% of the YACs were chimaeric. Unstable YACs were identified across the whole region, but were particularly prevalent around the D4S183 and D4S43 loci. The YACs have been assembled into a contig extending from D4S126 to D4S98 covering roughly 2 Mb DNA, except for a gap of about 250 kilobases (kb). The establishment of a YAC contig which spans the region most likely to contain the HD mutation is an essential step in the isolation of the HD gene.

D002894 Chromosomes, Human, Pair 4 A specific pair of GROUP B CHROMOSOMES of the human chromosome classification. Chromosome 4
D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D006816 Huntington Disease A familial disorder inherited as an autosomal dominant trait and characterized by the onset of progressive CHOREA and DEMENTIA in the fourth or fifth decade of life. Common initial manifestations include paranoia; poor impulse control; DEPRESSION; HALLUCINATIONS; and DELUSIONS. Eventually intellectual impairment; loss of fine motor control; ATHETOSIS; and diffuse chorea involving axial and limb musculature develops, leading to a vegetative state within 10-15 years of disease onset. The juvenile variant has a more fulminant course including SEIZURES; ATAXIA; dementia; and chorea.

D015342 DNA Probes Species- or subspecies-specific DNA (including COMPLEMENTARY DNA; conserved genes, whole chromosomes, or whole genomes) used in hybridization studies in order to identify microorganisms, to measure DNA-DNA homologies, to group subspecies, etc. The DNA probe hybridizes with a specific mRNA, if present. Conventional techniques used for testing for the hybridization product include dot blot assays, Southern blot assays, and DNA:RNA hybrid-specific antibody tests. Conventional labels for the DNA probe include the radioisotope labels 32P and 125I and the chemical label biotin. The use of DNA probes provides a specific, sensitive, rapid, and inexpensive replacement for cell culture techniques for diagnosing infections.
