Abstract

Treacher Collins syndrome is an autosomal dominant, craniofacial developmental disorder, and its locus (TCOF1) has been mapped to chromosome 5q3. To refine the location of the gene within this region, linkage analysis was performed among the TCOF1 locus and 12 loci (IL9, FGFA, GRL, D5S207, D5S210, D5S376, CSF1R, SPARC, D5S119, D5S209, D5S527, FGFR4) in 13 Treacher Collins syndrome families. The highest maximum lod score was obtained between loci TCOF1 and D5S210 (Z = 10.52; θ = 0.02 ± 0.07). The best order, IL9-GRL-D5S207/D5S210-CSF1R-SPARC-D5S119, and genetic distances among these loci were determined in the 40 CEPH families by multipoint linkage analysis. YAC clones were used to establish the order of loci, centromere-5′GRL3′-D5S207-D5S210-D5S376-CSF1R-SPARC-D5S119-telomere. By combining known physical mapping data with ours, the order of chromosome 5q3 markers is centromere-IL9-FGFA-5′GRL3′-D5S207-D5S210-D5S376-CSF1R-SPARC-D5S119-D5S209-FGFR4-telomere. Based on this order, haplotype analysis suggests that the TCOF1 locus resides distal of CSF1R and proximal to SPARC within a region less than 1 Mb in size.

    Genetic counseling is recommended to discuss the issues of inheritance for affected family members.16 The gene for TCS has been mapped to chromosome 5q31.3 – q33.3.54,55 Application of genetic (linkage and haplotype analysis) and physical mapping (fluorescence in situ hybridization, cosmid and YAC contiguous construction) techniques suggests that the gene resides between the colony-stimulating factor receptor gene and the osteonectin gene on chromosome 5. 54,55

    Incidence is between 1 in 25 000 and 1 in 50 0009 and there is no sex predilection.11 The syndrome is linked to chromosome 5q32-q33.12 deletions in the TCOF1 gene encoding treacle protein.12 This causes a reduction in neural crest cells (NCC), which are needed for craniofacial embryological development through the role of treacle in ribosomal DNA gene transcription.13,14
