The human myelin-basic-protein gene: chromosomal localization and RFLP analysis. 1987

J Kamholz, and R Spielman, and K Gogolin, and W Modi, and S O'Brien, and R Lazzarini

With a human myelin-basic-protein (MBP) cDNA used as a probe, the human MBP gene has been mapped to chromosome region 18q22-q23 by a combination of Southern hybridization to a panel of somatic-cell hybrid DNAs and in situ hybridization to metaphase chromosomes. Restriction-fragment-length polymorphisms (RFLPs) have also been identified with this probe in human DNA, by means of the restriction enzymes BamHI, PvuII, and PstI. In studies of informative families, the alleles of the BamHI and PvuII polymorphisms have been shown to segregate as Mendelian traits.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011110 Polymorphism, Genetic The regular and simultaneous occurrence in a single interbreeding population of two or more discontinuous genotypes. The concept includes differences in genotypes ranging in size from a single nucleotide site (POLYMORPHISM, SINGLE NUCLEOTIDE) to large nucleotide sequences visible at a chromosomal level. Gene Polymorphism,Genetic Polymorphism,Polymorphism (Genetics),Genetic Polymorphisms,Gene Polymorphisms,Polymorphism, Gene,Polymorphisms (Genetics),Polymorphisms, Gene,Polymorphisms, Genetic
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
D002874 Chromosome Mapping Any method used for determining the location of and relative distances between genes on a chromosome.

D002887 Chromosomes, Human, Pair 18 A specific pair of GROUP E CHROMOSOMES of the human chromosome classification. Chromosome 18
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).

D004676 Myelin Basic Protein An abundant cytosolic protein that plays a critical role in the structure of multilamellar myelin. Myelin basic protein binds to the cytosolic sides of myelin cell membranes and causes a tight adhesion between opposing cell membranes.
