A gene (NPH1) responsible for approximately 90% of the purely renal form of familial juvenile nephronophthisis, a progressive tubulo-interstitial kidney disorder, maps to human chromosome 2. We report the construction of a YAC-based contig spanning the critical NPH1 region and the flanking genetic markers. This physical map was integrated with a refined genetic map that restricted the NPH1 interval to about 2 cM; this interval corresponds to a maximum physical distance of 3.5 Mb. The entire contig covers 9 cM between the loci D2S135 and D2S121. The maximum physical distance between these two markers is approximately 11.3 Mb. Forty-five sequence-tagged sites, including six genes, have been located within this contig. PAX8, a member of the human paired box gene family, that is expressed in the developing kidney, was assigned outside the restricted NPH1 critical region and cannot therefore be regarded as a candidate gene. This set of overlapping clones represents a useful resource for further targeted development of genetic markers and for the characterization of candidate genes responsible for juvenile nephronophthisis.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007676 Kidney Failure, Chronic The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.
