Abstract

Vascular anomalies are congenital lesions that usually occur sporadically, but can be inherited. Previously, we have described that venous malformations, localized bluish-purple skin lesions, are caused by an activating mutation in the TIE2/TEK receptor. Moreover, we mapped another locus to chromosome 1p21–p22, for venous malformations with glomus cells (VMGLOM). Here we report a physical map, based on 18 overlapping YAC clones, spanning this 5-Mb VMGLOM locus, from marker GATA63C06 to D1S2664. In addition, we report a sequence-ready PAC map of 46 clones covering 1.48 Mb within the YAC contig, a region to which we have restricted VMGLOM. We describe 21 new STSs and nine novel CA repeats, seven of which are polymorphic. These data will enable positional cloning of genes for diseases mapped to this locus, including the VMGLOM gene, likely a currently unknown regulator of vasculogenesis and/or angiogenesis.

    The inherited forms tend to be multiple and continue to appear later in life.88 Based on linkage disequilibrium studies of families with inherited GVM, a locus for GVM (termed GLMN) has been mapped to chromosome 1p21-p22 and codes for a protein of still uncertain function termed glomulin.89–91 The wide phenotypic variation in GVM, and variability of penetrance in affected families, has suggested possible important genotype-phenotype relationships.

    Congenital familial multiple glomus tumor leads to multifocal tumors and demonstrates an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern with variable expressivity and incomplete penetrance.2 Mutations in the glomulin gene, located in 1p22.1, have been implicated.3 In addition, somatic mutations involving fragile sites on chromosome 1p were found to complete the Knudson 2-hit model, leading to formation of the glomus tumors.4

    GVM is transmitted as an autosomal-dominant trait with variable expressivity and incomplete penetrance, which is 92.7% at 20 years of age.3 Genetic studies have localized the disease-causing mutations in glomulin (GLMN) on the short arm of chromosome 1 (1p22.1).4–6 To date, 40 distinct germline mutations have been identified in 162 families3,7,8 (P.B., L.M.B., M.W., J.B.M., and M.V., unpublished data).
