The haemochromatosis gene (HFE) is linked to both HLA-A and D6S105 on the short arm of chromosome 6 but these markers are separated by approximately 2 Mb of DNA. Most chromosomes carrying HFE have a common haplotype which extends from HLA-A to D6S105 and includes HLA-F. To localise the gene more precisely we have examined 10 microsatellite markers extending over a genetic distance of approximately 5 cM from D6S265 (within 100 kb of HLA-A on the centromeric side) to D6S299 (telomeric). The order of markers is D6S265, HLA-F, D6S258, D6S306, CS3, D6S105, D6S464, CS5, D6S461 and D6S299. We confirm that haemochromatosis appears to originate from a founder mutation which has multiplied in the population through successive generations. This mutation is associated with the haplotype D6S306-5, CS3-3, D6S105-8, D6S464-9 and CS5-4 which is found on approximately 70% of HFE chromosomes. We have applied a new and powerful, likelihood analysis for linkage disequilibrium. The maximum value of lambda (proportion of total possible association between a marker and disease) is 0.74 for marker CS5 (allele 4). A multipoint analysis also gives a maximum likelihood near marker CS5. We conclude that the HFE gene is likely to be located telomeric of D6S105 and close to CS5.

D004276 DNA, Satellite Highly repetitive DNA sequences found in HETEROCHROMATIN, mainly near centromeres. They are composed of simple sequences (very short) (see MINISATELLITE REPEATS) repeated in tandem many times to form large blocks of sequence. Additionally, following the accumulation of mutations, these blocks of repeats have been repeated in tandem themselves. The degree of repetition is on the order of 1000 to 10 million at each locus. Loci are few, usually one or two per chromosome. They were called satellites since in density gradients, they often sediment as distinct, satellite bands separate from the bulk of genomic DNA owing to a distinct BASE COMPOSITION.
