The gonadotropin-releasing hormone (Gnrh) gene maps to mouse chromosome 14 and identifies a homologous region on human chromosome 8

The murine gonadotropin-releasing hormone (Gnrh) locus has been mapped to mouse chromosome 14 using a mouse × Chinese hamster somatic cell hybrid panel. The equivalent human locus, known as luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH), has been previously mapped to 8p21-8p11.2. Four other loci mapping to the human chromosome 8 short arm have been mapped to mouse chromosome 8; two of these (PLAT, GSR) lie proximal toLHRH, and two (LPL, DEF1) lie distal toLHRH. The localization ofGnrh, the murine…

The mouse x Chinese hamster somatic cell hybrid panel was developed to provide a rapid method for determining chromosomal assignments in the mouse, in particular for murine for homologs of human genes, and it was confirmed that no interspecific chromosome rearrangements were present by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH).

A survey of 18 mapped human disease loci and chromosome regions in which the manifestation or severity of pathological effects is thought to be the result of genomic imprinting shows that most of the homologous regions in the mouse are also associated with imprinting, especially those with homologues on human chromosomes 11p and 15q.

Somatic-cell hybrid and molecular biology techniques were used to sublocalize the BMP-1 gene to the short arm of chromosome 8 within the 8p22-cen region, and although this locus falls outside the Langer-Giedion syndrome region, it is excluded as a candidate gene for this disorder.
