The mapping of human chromosome 9 (HSA9) and mouse chromosome 2 (MMU2) has revealed a conserved syntenic region between the distal end of the long arm of chromosome 9 and proximal mouse chromosome 2. Two genes that map to human chromosome 9q34, gelsolin (GSN) and dopamine beta-hydroxylase (DBH), have not previously been located in the mouse. We have used an interspecific backcross to map each of these genes, by Southern blot analysis, to mouse chromosome 2. Gelsolin (Gsn) is tightly linked to the gene for complement component C5 (Hc), and dopamine beta-hydroxylase (Dbh) is just proximal to the Abelson leukemia virus oncogene (Abl) and alpha-spectrin 2 (Spna-2). The loci for gelsolin and dopamine beta-hydroxylase therefore form part of the conserved synteny between HSA9q and MMU2.

D002899 Chromosomes, Human, Pair 9 A specific pair of GROUP C CHROMSOMES of the human chromosome classification. Chromosome 9
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).
