Abstract
We constructed a long-range restriction map of the tuberous sclerosis (TSC1) region of human chromosome 9q34, extending from ABL (T39-2-2) to D9S114. The physical map includes five genes and seven anonymous markers. The maximum distance between ABL and D9S114 is 5.4 Mb. The TSC1 critical region, between D9S149 and D9S114, has a maximum distance of 2.7 Mb. The ratio of genetic and physical distance in the region is 1 cM:600 kb. We also used Southern blot analysis and a radiation hybrid cell line, E6B, to exclude 3 genes—PBX3A, RXR α, and TAN1—from the AK1 to D9S114 interval. This excludes them as disease genes for tuberous sclerosis.
