The dominant gene defect in Huntington's disease (HD) is linked to the DNA marker D4S10, near the telomere of the chromosome 4 short arm. Two other markers,D4S43andD4S95, are closer, but still proximal to theHDgene in 4p16.32. We have characterized a new locus,D4S114, identified by cloning the end of a NotI fragment resolved by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis.D4S114was localized distal toD4S43andD4S95by both physical and genetic mapping techniques. The ‘end’-clone overlaps a previously isolated NotI ‘linking’ clone, and is within 150 kb of a second ‘linking’ clone definingD4S113. Restriction fragment length polymorphisms forD4S113andD4S114, one of which is identical to a SacI polymorphism detected by the anonymous probe pB5731B-C (D4S98), were typed for key crossovers in HD and reference pedigrees. The data support the locus orderD4S10-(D4S43, D4S98, D4S95)-D4S98/S114/S113-HD-telemere. TheD4S98/S114/S113cluster therefore represents the nearest cloned sequences toHD, and provides a valuable new point for launching directional cloning strategies to isolate and characterize this disease gene.
