Mapping of the human P84 gene to the subtelomeric region of chromosome 20p

Abstract

P84 is a novel neural adhesion molecule that may play an important role in synaptogenesis. We have recently cloned a murine cDNA encoding the P84 adhesion molecule. The human homologue of P84 has previously been isolated (by others) as a brain specific cDNA containing CCA repeats. We have mapped the human P84 gene to the subtelomeric region of chromosome 20p (20p13) by FISH. In addition, we have been able to place P84 onto the high resolution physical map of the human genome by utilizing the Unigene database. P84 maps to several YAC clones, between STS markers IB255 and WI-9632, and very close to the polymorphic marker D20S199, in an interval of less than 1 Mb on 20p13. P84 is a strong candidate gene for neurological disorders which map into this region.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
