Further Evidence for Clustering of Human GABAA Receptor Subunit Genes: Localization of the 伪6-Subunit Gene (GABRA6) to Distal Chromosome 5q by Linkage Analysis
  GABAA receptors are hetero-oligomeric ion-channel complexes that are composed of combinations of 伪, 尾, 纬, and 未 subunits and play a major role in inhibitory neurotransmission in the mammalian brain. We report here a microsatellite polymorphism within the human 伪6-subunit gene (GABRA6). Mapping of this marker in a human-hamster hybrid cell-line panel and typing of the repeat in the Centre d'脡tude du Polymorphisme Humain (CEPH) reference families enabled the localization of this gene to chromosome 5q and established its linkage to the GABAA receptor 伪1-subunit gene (GABRA1) with a maximum lod score (Zmax) of 39.87 at a 胃 of 0.069 (males) and 0.100 (females). These results reveal the clustering of GABRA6, GABRA1, and the GABAA receptor 纬2-subunit gene (GABRG2) on distal chromosome 5q.
