An autosomal dominant transmission of arteriohepatic dysplasia, or Alagille syndrome, with reduced penetrance and variable expressivity has been suggested from familial pedigrees, but the nature of the genetic defect and its chromosomal localization are not firmly established. We report the case of an 8-year-old boy with arteriohepatic dysplasia, in whom high-resolution chromosome study showed a partial deletion of the short arm of chromosome 20, which encompasses subbands p11.23 to p12.3. In situ hybridization and Southern blotting localized four restriction fragment length polymorphism probes within the deletion and another one distal to the deletion. Because one patient has already been reported to have arteriohepatic dysplasia and deletion of the short arm of chromosome 20, and six additional patients with such a deletion had major features of Alagille syndrome, this syndrome should now be assigned to chromosome 20p.

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.
