          Abstract

          Several inherited diseases have been mapped to the distal tip of human chromosome 21. In our recent efforts to clone candidate genes for some of these disorders, we have assembled a cosmid and BAC contig spanning 770 kb. We have identified expressed sequences from this contig by means of a cDNA hybrid selection scheme. We present here the isolation, cDNA sequence, genomic organization, and polymorphisms analysis of one such expressed sequence, GT334, which had been identified independently and designated EHOC-1. GT334 is split into 23 exons, and spans an estimated 95 kb of genomic DNA. A pseudogene of the histone H2AZ gene has been identified, and maps within the third intron. We have identified an ORF potentially encoding a protein 1259 amino acids in length, longer than that described in the EHOC-1 gene. The GT334 gene was screened for single base pair changes using single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis and we have identified seven sequence variations within this gene. These polymorphisms can be used as markers in the genetic mapping of other diseases localized to this region.
