Parathyroid tumors may occur in a sporadic fashion or, more rarely, as part of a familial syndrome (such as familial multiple endocrine neoplasia type I). The MENI gene has been mapped by linkage analysis to chromosome 11 at band q11-q13, and presumably acts as a tumor suppressor gene. In the present study, which is an extension of our previous studies, we examined 41 parathyroid tumors from patients with familial multiple endocrine neoplasia type I and 61 sporadic parathyroid tumors with markers on chromosome 11, to assess the extent of allelic loss in those tumors. Twenty-four of the MENI-associated tumors (58%) and 16 of the sporadic parathyroid tumors (26%) displayed allelic loss from chromosome 11. The region of overlap of the allelic losses in the MENI-associated tumors enables us to place the MENI gene between PGA centromerically and INT2 telomerically, a region spanning about 7.5 cM. Taken together with locus ordering by linkage analysis, this clearly localizes the MENI gene telomeric to the PGA locus. Our inability to detect allelic loss on chromosome 11 in some parathyroid tumors suggests the existence of other genes involved in the development and/or progression of this subgroup of presumably monoclonal tumors; or that localized events involving the 11q tumor suppressor gene have occurred in some parathyroid tumors whose detection is beyond the sensitivity of our analysis; or that at least some of the specimens analyzed were in fact primarily hyperplastic parathyroid tissue.

Familial multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN 1) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by the combined occurrence of tumors of the parathyroid glands, the endocrine pancreas, and the pituitary gland. MEN 1 tumors have previously been shown to be associated with the loss of alleles on chromosome 11, and deletion mapping studies together with family linkage studies have localized the MEN 1 gene to 11q13. A detailed genetic map around the MEN 1 locus is required to facilitate further characterization and cloning of the gene (MEN1). We have characterized a panel of seven rodent-human somatic cell hybrids which contain fragments of human chromosome 11 with breakpoints in the pericentromeric region by using eight DNA sequences (D11S149, PGA, PYGM, D11S97, INT2, D11S37, D11S533, and D11S147) to define the region containing MEN1. This will facilitate the rapid localization of additional DNA sequences in this region. In addition, we have used a highly polymorphic repetitive degenerate hexanucleotide sequence, designated D11S533, for segregation studies in one family with MEN 1. These molecular genetic approaches will help to define a precise 1 to 2 centiMorgan map around MEN1.

We describe a high-resolution radiation hybrid map of the proximal long arm of human chromosome 11 containing the bcl-1 and multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN-1) disease gene loci. We used X-ray irradiation and cell fusion to generate a panel of 102 hamster-human somatic cell hybrids containing fragments of human chromosome 11. Sixteen human loci in the 11q12-13 region were mapped by statistical analysis of the cosegregation of markers in these radiation hybrids. The most likely order for these loci is C1NH-OSBP-(CD5/CD20)-PGA-FTH1-COX8-PYGM -SEA-KRN1-(MTC/P11EH/HSTF1/INT2)-GST3- PPP1A. Our localization of the human protooncogene SEA between PYGM and INT2, two markers that flank MEN-1, suggests SEA as a potential candidate for the MEN-1 locus. We map two mitogenic fibroblast growth factor genes, HSTF1 and INT2, close to bcl-1, a mapping that is consistent with previously published data. Our map places the human leukocyte antigen genes CD5 and CD20 far from the bcl-1 locus, indicating that CD5 and CD20 expression is unlikely to be altered by bcl-1 rearrangements. PPP1A, which has been postulated as a MEN-1 candidate tumor suppressor gene, and GST3, a gene transcriptionally active in many human cancers, both map distal to the bcl-1 translocation cluster and the region containing MEN-1, and therefore are unlikely to be directly involved in bcl-1 or MEN-1.

Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 is an autosomal dominant condition characterized by the development of parathyroid hyperplasia, pituitary adenomas, and pancreatic islet cell tumors. Recently the gene for multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 was mapped to the long arm of chromosome 11 between the loci PGA and INT2. We tested the hypothesis that tumor development is the result of a somatic deletion that unmasks a constitutional mutation. By investigating DNA isolated from tumors and somatic tissues in 12 patients from 4 different families with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1, we found loss of heterozygous markers mapped to 11q13 in 9 (82%) of 11 informative tumors. In contrast, we were unable to identify allelic loss from other chromosomes using a variety of informative probes. This high incidence of chromosomal deletion of 11q13 suggests that this region is important in the oncogenesis of this disorder.

Amplification of several markers which map to chromosome 11q13 was detected by Southern blotting in transitional cell tumours of the urinary bladder. The oncogenes INT2 and HST and the BCL1 locus were co-amplified in 20/97 (20.6%) tumours and the locus-specific minisatellite probe pMS51 (D11S97) detected amplification in 17/97 (17.5%) tumours. The high frequency of heterozygosity (greater than 70%) detected by this latter probe on HaeIII-digested DNAs provided a sensitive means to measure low levels of gene amplification (2-fold) by comparing signals obtained from each allele. A number of probes which map to 11q were used in an attempt to map the region of amplification more precisely. PGA, PGR, STMY, D11Z1 and D11S149 were not amplified in any tumours studied. SEA was amplified in 1/59 tumours and D11S146 in 12/89 tumours. A comparison of the patterns of co-amplification of individual markers in this series of tumours revealed that of the 23 tumours with amplification at this site, 11 had co-amplification of D11S97, D11S146, BCL1, INT2 and HST, 3 had co-amplification of D11S97, BCL1, INT2 and HST, 6 had co-amplification of BCL1, INT2 and HST, 1 had co-amplification of D11S97 and D11S146 and 2 had amplification of D11S97 alone. Based on available linkage data for these markers, this suggests that a putative target gene within this amplicon lies centromeric to BCL1. Amplification at 11q13 showed no correlation with tumour grade or with HER2 amplification.

The multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) locus has been previously localized to 11q13 by combined tumour deletion mapping and linkage studies. Family linkage analysis has defined the locus order as 11 cen-PGA-(PYGM, MEN1)-(D11S97, D11S146)-INT2-11qter, and tumour deletion mapping studies have suggested that the MEN1 locus is proximal to D11S146 but distal to PYGM. In order to establish further the location of MEN1, we have utilized the seven polymorphic DNA probes: D11S288, D11S149, PGA, PYGM, D11S97, D11S146 and INT2, in linkage studies of 339 members (116 affected) from 27 MEN1 families. Linkage between MEN1 and 6 of the 7 loci was established, and the highest peak lod scores [Z(theta)] were observed with PYGM and D11S97 at Z(theta) = 13.71, theta = 0.047 and Z(theta) = 13.76, theta = 0.076 respectively. Multilocus analysis suggested the most likely locus order as: 11 pter-(D11S288, D11S149)-11 cen-PGA-PYGM-MEN1-D11S97-D11S146-INT2-1 1qter. In addition, an examination of individual recombinants indicated a centromeric location of D11S149 in relation to D11S288. Thus, the results of our study, which favoured a location of MEN1 proximal to D11S97 and distal to PYGM, have established a panel of recombinants that will facilitate further meiotic mapping studies of the MEN1 locus.

We report a pulsed-field gel electrophoresis map of 12 loci on proximal human chromosome 11q. Linkage studies have shown that this region of chromosome 11 contains the genes for familial atopic disease (APY) and multiple endocrine neoplasia type I (MEN1) (4). A physical map containing polymorphic loci will aid in the isolation of these disease genes. The map reported here has two noncontiguous groups of loci accounting for 8 of the 12 loci evaluated. One group spans a maximum distance of 1600 kb and includes D11S146, BCL1, PRAD1, INT2, and HSTF1. The other group includes FTH1, C1NH, and COX8. TCN1, PGA, and PYGM did not yield any comigrating fragments and could not be physically linked on this PFGE map. These data enhance previously published physical maps of proximal 11q by refining the localization of and distances between markers in the BCL1 region. Additionally, new information about the locations and physical relationships between FTH1, C1NH, and COX8 is presented.

Forty loci (16 polymorphic and 24 non-polymorphic) together with 23 cosmids isolated from a chromosome 11-specific library were used to construct a detailed genetic map of 11p13-11q13. The map was constructed by using a panel of 13 somatic cell hybrids that sub-divided this region into 19 intervals, a meiotic mapping panel of 33 multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) families (134 affected and 269 unaffected members) and a mitotic mapping panel that was used to identify loss of heterozygosity in 38 MEN1-associated tumours. The results defined the most likely order of the 16 loci as being: 11pter-D11S871-(D11S288, D11S149)-11cen-CNTF-PGA-ROM1-D11S480-PYGM- SEA-D11S913-D11S970-D11S97- D11S146-INT2-D11S971-D11S533-11qter. The meiotic mapping studies indicated that the most likely location of the MEN1 gene was in the interval flanked by PYGM and D11S97, and the results of mitotic mapping suggested a possible location of the MEN1 gene telomeric to SEA. Mapping studies of the gene encoding mu-calpain (CAPN1) located CAPN1 to 11q13 and in the vicinity of the MEN1 locus. However, mutational analysis studies did not detect any germ-line CAPN1 DNA sequence abnormalities in 47 unrelated MEN1 patients and the results therefore exclude CAPN1 as the MEN1 gene. The detailed genetic map that has been constructed of the 11p13-11q13 region should facilitate the construction of a physical map and the identification of candidate genes for disease loci mapped to this region.
