Abstract

We report the construction of a physical map based on cloned DNA within the candidate region for the tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC1) gene on chromosome 9q34, between the markers D9S149 and D9S66. The DNA clones form three contigs consisting of 7 YACs, bridged by P1 and cosmid clones, and cover more than 950 kb of 9q34. Despite intensive screening of all available libraries, two gaps remain. A detailed physical map of much of this region was derived, and restriction mapping of the YAC, P1, and cosmid clones reveals novel CpG islands in this region. This set of genomic clones provides a resource for characterizing candidates for the TSC1 gene, guided by the location of CpG islands.
