From a chromosome 21 phage library, we selected 10 clones located proximal of the senile plaque amyloid precursor protein gene. Since a locus for Alzheimer's disease (AD) has been localized in the pericentromeric region of chromosome 21, the selected phage clones are potential candidate probes for genetic analysis of AD. In this study, we subcloned single-copy fragments of the selected phage clones, refined their physical localization, and examined their chromosomal distribution in relation to their position on chromosome 21. The results indicated that the phage clones are identifying nine chromosome 21 loci, which, if polymorphic, may be helpful in localizing the AD locus more precisely. Moreover, since all phage clones are located close to the centromere of chromosome 21, they can be used to determine the parental origin of nondisjunction in trisomy 21 with high reliability.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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. RFLP,Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism,RFLPs,Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphisms
D002503 Centromere The clear constricted portion of the chromosome at which the chromatids are joined and by which the chromosome is attached to the spindle during cell division. Centromeres

D000544 Alzheimer Disease A degenerative disease of the BRAIN characterized by the insidious onset of DEMENTIA. Impairment of MEMORY, judgment, attention span, and problem solving skills are followed by severe APRAXIAS and a global loss of cognitive abilities. The condition primarily occurs after age 60, and is marked pathologically by severe cortical atrophy and the triad of SENILE PLAQUES; NEUROFIBRILLARY TANGLES; and NEUROPIL THREADS.
