The linked polymorphic loci 5' to the insulin gene and 3' to the c-Harvey-ras-1 (c-Ha-ras) gene, both localised to the short arm of chromosome 11, have been studied in 14 type I diabetic pedigrees. The use of a cloned gene probe corresponding to the polymorphic locus adjacent to the insulin gene, in combination with the restriction endonuclease PvuII, has permitted an improvement in the resolution of sizes of insert at this locus. An MspI restriction fragment length polymorphism at the c-Ha-ras proto-oncogene locus (4 cM upstream from the insulin gene) was used to identify parental insulin gene related alleles unambiguously, and subsequently a pedigree analysis was performed to determine whether subclasses of inserts at this locus track with insulin dependent diabetes. Segregation analysis demonstrated no linkage between the polymorphic loci 5' to the insulin gene, nor 3' to the c-Ha-ras, and type I diabetes. However, a similar analysis confirmed an association between the HLA locus chromosome 6 and insulin dependent diabetes.

We studied the polymorphism of HLA-DR2 by Southern blot analysis. Genomic DNA from 12 DR2 positive unrelated individuals was digested separately with five restriction endonucleases, Bam HI, Eco RI, Eco RV, Hind III and Pvu II. Hybridizing restriction fragments were visualized using radiolabeled beta-chain cDNA probes homologous to the DR and DQ subregions of the HLA. The results in the present study demonstrate that the two subtypes of DR2, DR2.1 and DR2.2, as defined by serological and cellular (PLT) techniques can be identified by Southern blot analysis. These two subtypes were identifiable after cleaving genomic DNA with Bam HI and EcoRV. DR2.1 correlated with restriction endonuclease fragments at 2.8 kb (DR beta) and 6.6 kb (DQ beta) after Bam HI digest, while DR2.2 correlated with a 2.9 kb (DR beta) and a 2.6 kb (DQ beta) restriction fragment after Eco RV digest. In addition, inheritance of the restriction fragment lengths defining DR2.1 and DR2.2 were observed in two families. In contrast, no differences between DR2.1 and DR2.2 were observed with the restriction enzymes Eco RI, Hind III and Pvu II.

Nonclassic steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency is a frequent, relatively mild disorder of cortisol biosynthesis, characterized by variable signs of postnatal androgen excess. It is inherited as an allelic variant of the gene designated CYP21B, which encodes 21-hydroxylase. CYP21B is located in the HLA histocompatibility complex, and a "nonclassic" allelic variant is often associated with characteristic HLA antigens--B14,DR1. We cloned and analyzed the CYP21B gene from a patient homozygous for HLA-B14,DR1 who had nonclassic 21-hydroxylase deficiency. Five deviations from the normal genetic sequence of CYP21B were found, but only one appeared likely to affect the functional integrity of the protein: codon 281, GTG, encoding valine, was changed to TTG, leucine. We constructed an oligonucleotide probe corresponding to the mutant DNA sequence surrounding codon 281 and hybridized the probe with DNA samples digested with the restriction endonuclease Taql. Samples from eight patients with nonclassic 21-hydroxylase deficiency who had the haplotype HLA-B14,DR1 contained a hybridizing fragment 3700 base pairs long, indicating the presence of the valine-281 mutation in the CYP21B gene. In contrast, unaffected subjects and one patient with nonclassic deficiency who did not have HLA-B14,DR1 had no evidence of this mutation. We conclude that the mutation in codon 281 is a consistent molecular genetic marker for nonclassic 21-hydroxylase deficiency associated with HLA-B14,DR1.

HLA class II polymorphisms have been analyzed on the genomic level by two oligonucleotide probes corresponding to the DNA sequence coding for the amino acids 23-30 in the first domain of the beta chain of DQw3.1 and DQw3.2. Specific hybridization to single endonuclease fragments of DNA from some HLA homozygous cells was detected. Here we report the distribution of these DNA exon sequences among different DQ alleles, and demonstrate that the probes may be used to type for DQw3.1 and DQw3.2 respectively.

A DNA probe specific for the HLA-B locus has been isolated from a broadly cross-reactive HLA class I genomic clone. Locus specificity of the probe appears to be derived primarily from a stretch of approximately 180 nucleotides comprising the last (7th) intron of the original B7 gene. Use of the probe to analyze Southern blots of genomic DNA from unrelated individuals provides the first direct demonstration of intragenic localization of an HLA allele-specific restriction endonuclease site. Availability of this probe should make practicable the study of HLA-B locus restriction fragment length polymorphism as genetic markers of disease susceptibility, and should provide a model for developing probes specific for other HLA class I loci.

After electrophoresis and transfer onto a hybridization membrane, the restriction endonuclease fragments obtained were probed with a cDNA carrying the nucleotide sequence encoding a class I HLA gene. Polymorphism for presence or absence of various Eco RI and Eco RV and Hind III fragments was noted in a panel of unrelated Parisian people: frequent polymorphism was described for 2 Eco RI restriction fragments of sizes 16.5 and 7.7 kb, for 5 Eco RV restriction fragments of sizes 25, 20, 11.5, 7.8 and 4 kb, and for 3 Hind III restriction fragments of sizes 27.5, 23.5 and 4.7 kb. The French population studied is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for the different variants described.

Cellular DNA from HLA-typed individuals was digested with the restriction endonuclease EcoRV. After electrophoresis and transfer to a hybridization membrane, the restriction endonuclease fragments were probed with cDNA carrying the nucleotide sequence encoding a class 1 HLA gene. Polymorphism for presence or absence of various EcoRV fragments was noted in a panel of unrelated HLA-typed individuals. A polymorphic 8.6-kilobase pair EcoRV fragment was found which correlated in the panel with the serologically defined gene HLA-B8. A family study revealed that this fragment segregated with the haplotype carrying the HLA-B8 gene. This fragment may carry the gene for HLA-B8 or it may represent another class 1 gene (or pseudogene) in linkage disequilibrium with HLA-B8.

Sequences of different sizes are generated when DNA from homozygous HLA-Dw/DR typing cells are digested with restriction endonuclease and analyzed by hybridization with a HLA-D region class II antigen beta-chain cDNA probe. The patterns of hybridization were highly polymorphic but one endonuclease, BamHI, defined sequences unique to all HLA-Dw/DR specificities 1-8 except HLA-Dw/DR 2 and 6; however, these two specificities were resolved with the enzyme EcoRI. Digestion with other endonucleases such as Pst I results in patterns of restriction fragments that differ between homozygous typing cells of the same HLA-Dw/DR specificity. HLA-D region beta-chain probes permit HLA-D region genotyping at the DNA level and may allow detection of genes controlling the association of HLA specificities with a wide variety of diseases.

Cellular DNA from HLA-typed individuals was digested with the restriction endonucleases HindIII, EcoRV, and EcoRI. The separated restriction endonuclease fragments were hybridized with a HLA class I cDNA probe by using the Southern transfer technique. Digestion of cellular DNA with HindIII generated 22 restriction endonuclease fragments, 11 of which showed polymorphism for presence or absence in a population sample. With EcoRV, 13 fragments were identified; 6 showed polymorphism. EcoRI generated 11 fragments, of which 1 was polymorphic. Of these 18 polymorphic fragments generated by the three restriction endonucleases, each of 5 was found to be positively associated with one allele of the HLA-A or -B allelic series (HLA-Aw24, -B8, -B15, -Bw35, and -B40). One fragment was positively associated with two HLA-A series alleles (HLA-A1 and -A11). Another fragment was positively associated with five HLA-B series alleles (HLA-B5, -B7, -B14, -Bw16, and -Bw35) and one fragment was positively associated with alleles at two loci (HLA-B14 and -Cw5). The serologically defined allele HLA-Aw24 was associated with two polymorphic fragments, one association showing a positive correlation and the other a negative correlation. Each informative family studied thus far has shown segregation of the restriction fragment with the associated serologically defined allele. The fragments associated with serologically defined alleles occurred in the population sample studied at low or moderate frequencies. The remaining polymorphic fragments occur at high frequency, suggesting that class I genes not serologically detected show less polymorphism than serologically defined class I genes.

We have determined the molecular genetic basis of congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase (21-OHase) deficiency. This common disorder of cortisol biosynthesis is HLA-linked. The haplotype HLA-(A3);Bw47;DR7 is strongly associated with 21-OHase deficiency and always carries a null allele at the locus encoding the C4A (Rodgers) form of the fourth component (C4) of complement. It seemed likely that this haplotype carries a deletion encompassing the genes encoding both C4A and 21-OHase. We hypothesized that the HLA-linked defect involved a structural gene for the adrenal microsomal cytochrome P-450 specific for steroid 21-hydroxylation. Using a plasmid with a 520-base-pair bovine adrenal cDNA insert encoding the middle third of the cytochrome P-450 polypeptide, we compared hybridization patterns in DNA from normal and 21-OHase-deficient individuals. Normal human DNA yielded two fragments that hybridized with the probe after digestion with either restriction endonuclease EcoRI [12- and 14-kilobase (kb) fragments] or Taq I (3.7 and 3.2 kb). One of these bands (the first mentioned in each digest) was absent in DNA from a cell line derived from a patient homozygous for HLA-Bw47. DNA from six unrelated patients homozygous for 21-OHase deficiency who were heterozygous for HLA-Bw47 yielded diminished relative intensity of the 3.7-kb Taq I band in five patients, consistent with a heterozygous deletion, and complete disappearance of the 3.7-kb band in one. This deletion segregated with HLA-Bw47 in a large pedigree carrying 21-OHase deficiency and HLA-Bw47. Thus, 21-OHase deficiency sometimes results from the deletion of a specific cytochrome P-450 gene and sometimes, presumably, from smaller mutations. This gene is probably located very near the C4A gene.
