Abstract

PKD1, the gene for the chromosome 16-linked form of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, has previously been genetically mapped to an interval bounded by the polymorphic loci Fr3-42 EKMDA2 distally and O327hb O90a proximally. More recently, 26.6PROX was identified as the closest proximal flanking locus. We set out to refine the localization of PKD1 by identifying a series of single recombination events between the flanking markers Fr3-42 EKMDA2 and O327hb O90a and analyzing them with a new set of polymorphic loci that have been physically mapped within the PKD1 interval. We identified 11 such crossovers in eight families; 6 of these fell into the interval between GGG1 and 26.6PROX, a distance of
