Detailed physical analysis of a 1.5-megabase YAC contig containing the MXI1 and ADRA2A genes.

The distal long arm of chromosome 10 harbors genes of biomedical interest such as MXI1, a putative tumor suppressor gene, and those encoding the adrenergic receptors alpha2A (ADRA2A) and beta1 (ADRB1). As part of a physical and genetic study of this genomic region, we constructed a 1.5-Mb YAC contig mapping to 10q25 that contains MXI1 and ADRA2A as well as a number of STSs. Rare cutting restriction site analysis of overlapping YACs allowed fine mapping of these genes and markers along the contig and revealed the presence of four CpG islands. MXI1 and ADRA2A appear to be about 600 kb apart, whereas ADRB1 is separated from ADRA2A by a distance larger than previously reported.[1]
