A genetic linkage map for human chromosome 3 has been constructed using 41 polymorphic DNA markers genotyped in 40 CEPH reference families. The map spans a genetic distance of 261 cM in males and 413 cM in females; the ratio of these distances (approximately 1.6 in favor of female meioses) was fairly constant across the map. Frequency of recombination was relatively uniform throughout much of the chromosome, except that in both telomeric regions recombination was more frequent than the physical distances would predict. The genetic map was basically in agreement with physical localization of 24 loci that were mapped by fluorescent in situ hybridization. This map can be used for linkage studies for genetic diseases, and it will serve as a step toward a high-resolution map for human chromosome 3.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008040 Genetic Linkage The co-inheritance of two or more non-allelic GENES due to their being located more or less closely on the same CHROMOSOME. Genetic Linkage Analysis,Linkage, Genetic,Analyses, Genetic Linkage,Analysis, Genetic Linkage,Genetic Linkage Analyses,Linkage Analyses, Genetic,Linkage Analysis, Genetic
D008297 Male Males
D009693 Nucleic Acid Hybridization Widely used technique which exploits the ability of complementary sequences in single-stranded DNAs or RNAs to pair with each other to form a double helix. Hybridization can take place between two complimentary DNA sequences, between a single-stranded DNA and a complementary RNA, or between two RNA sequences. The technique is used to detect and isolate specific sequences, measure homology, or define other characteristics of one or both strands.

D012150 Polymorphism, Restriction Fragment Length Variation occurring within a species in the presence or length of DNA fragment generated by a specific endonuclease at a specific site in the genome. Such variations are generated by mutations that create or abolish recognition sites for these enzymes or change the length of the fragment.
