is represented by multiple bands (stutter bands), which may
be produced from Taq DNA polymerase slippage during the amplification
process. These bands resemble a 2-bp ladder, with the most common band
often being 2 bp shorter than a major band. Artifact bands can be distinguished
from real bands by identifying a heterozygous individual, with two sets
of multiple bands. We observed heterozygous patterns (
Figure
1, Panel A, Lanes 1, 3-7, 9, and 13-17), 2-bp differences between
the upper alleles (
Figure
1, Panel A, Lane 6 compared to Lane 7 and Lane 13 compared to Lane
14), and homozygous individuals with only one set of bands (
Figure
1, Panel B, Lanes 3, 6, 8, 11, 12, 15, and 16). For each marker, the
dominant band is designated the true allele. Because the pattern
of stutter bands is usually consistent for each marker, the genotype of
each individual is deduced by scoring the dominant bands only.
We also used the CastAway system to analyze linkage studies of families with
cartilage hair hypoplasia (CHH), an autosomal recessive skeletal dysplasia
characterized by dwarfism, decreased immunity, and fine, sparse hair.8
CHH was previously linked to chromosome 9p13.9 D9S165 was analyzed
as one of a number of markers in chromosome 9p13 to further define the
segment of chromosome 9p13 to which the phenotype is linked. In a genotyping
experiment using the marker D9S165, three alleles, labeled A through C
(Figure
1, Panel B), were identified. Additional examples of heterozygous
patterns were observed in Figure
1, Panel B, Lanes 1, 4, 5, 7, 10, 17, and 20.
By analyzing this marker and others using the CastAway system, haplotypes
were generated, w
