Abstract
We aimed to analyze clinical impacts of the U2AF1 mutation on patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and its stability during disease progression. We checked mutation status of the U2AF1 by direct sequencing in 478 de novo MDS patients and correlated with the clinical characteristics and outcomes. We also sequentially analyzed the U2AF1 mutation in 421 samples from 142 patients to determine its stability during the disease courses. Thirty-six patients (7.5%) were found to have U2AF1 mutations, which occurred more frequently in younger patients (P = 0.033). U2AF1 mutation was an independent poor-risk factor for overall survival (OS) in all patients (P = 0.030) and younger patients (P = 0.041). U2AF1 mutation could also predict shorter time-to-leukemia transformation (TTL) in younger patients (P = 0.020). In addition, U2AF1 mutation was associated with shorter TTL in lower-risk MDS patients. Sequential analyses showed all original U2AF1 mutations in U2AF1-mutated patients were retained during follow-ups unless complete remission was achieved, whereas none of the U2AF1-wild patients acquired a novel mutation during disease evolution. U2AF1 mutation is more prevalent in younger MDS patients and associated with inferior outcomes although it is stable during the clinical course. The mutation may be used as a biomarker for risk stratification.

Abstract
In a systematic screen for maternally expressed imprinted genes using subtraction hybridization with androgenetic and normal fertilized mouse embryos, seven candidate maternally expressed genes (Megs) have been isolated, including the H19 and p57(Kip2) genes that are known to be maternally expressed. Herein, we demonstrate that an imprinted gene, Meg1, is apparently identical to Grb10 (growth factor receptor-bound protein 10), which is located on mouse proximal chromosome 11. Grb10 protein was reported to bind to the insulin receptor and/or the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) I receptor via its src homology 2 domain and to inhibit the associated tyrosine kinase activity that is involved in the growth promoting activities of insulin and IGFs (IGF-I and -II). Thus, it is probable that Meg1/Grb10 is responsible for the imprinted effects of prenatal growth retardation or growth promotion caused by maternal or paternal duplication of proximal chromosome 11 with reciprocal deficiencies (MatDp.prox11 or PatDp.prox11), respectively. In the human, it has been reported that the maternal uniparental disomy 7 is responsible for the Silver-Russell syndrome (SRS) whose effects include pre- and postnatal growth retardation and other dysmorphologies. The human homologue GRB10 on chromosome 7q11.2-12 is a candidate gene for Silver-Russell syndrome.

Abstract
Restriction landmark genome scanning (RLGS) was developed as a method of genome analysis that is based on the concept that restriction enzyme sites can be used as landmarks. In this article, we demonstrate how this method can be used for the systematic, successful positional cloning of mouse mutant reeler gene. The major advantage of the RLGS method is that it allows the scanning of several thousand spots/loci throughout the genome with one RLGS profile. High-speed positional cloning based on the RLGS method includes (1) high-speed construction of a linkage map (RLGS spot mapping), (2) high-speed detection of RLGS spot markers tightly linked to the mutant phenotype (RLGS spot bombing method), and (3) construction of YAC contigs covering the region where tightly linked spot markers are located (RLGS-based YAC contig mapper). We introduced a series of these procedures by using them to positionally clone the reeler gene. High-speed construction of the whole genetic map and spots/loci (less than 1 cM) within the closest flanking markers is demonstrated. The RLGS-based YAC contig mapper also efficiently yielded the YAC physical contig map of the target region. Finally, we cloned the reeler gene, which is the causal gene for the perturbation of the three-dimensional brain architecture due to the abnormal migration of neuroblasts in reeler mouse. Since the RLGS method itself can be used for any organism, we conclude that the total RLGS-based positional cloning system can be used to identify any mutant gene of any organism.

Abstract
We report a high-resolution genetic map of 21 genes on the central region of mouse Chr 11. These genes were mapped by segregation analysis of more than 1650 meioses from three interspecific backcrosses. The order of these genes in mouse was compared to the previously established gene order in human. Eighteen of the 21 genes map to human Chr 5, and 2 of the genes define a proximal border for the region of homology between mouse Chr 11 and human Chr 17. Our results indicate a minimum of four rearrangements within the 10-cM region of synteny homology between mouse Chr 11 and human Chr 5. In addition, the linkage conservation is disrupted by groups of genes that map to mouse Chrs 13 and 18. These data demonstrate that large regions of conserved linkage can contain numerous chromosomal microrearrangements that have occurred since the divergence of mouse and human ancestors. Comparison of the mouse and human maps with data for other species provides an emerging picture of mammalian chromosome evolution.

Abstract
The mouse U2af1-rs1 gene is an endogenous imprinted gene on the proximal region of chromosome 11. This gene is transcribed exclusively from the unmethylated paternal allele, while the methylated maternal allele is silent. An analysis of genome structure of this gene revealed that the whole gene is located in an intron of the Murr1 gene. Although none of the three human U2af1-related genes have been mapped to chromosome 2, the human homolog of Murr1 is assigned to chromosome 2. The mouse Murr1 gene is transcribed biallelically, and therefore it is not imprinted in neonatal mice. Allele-specific methylation is limited to a region around U2af1-rs1 in an intron of Murr1. These results suggest that in chromosomal homology and genomic imprinting, the U2af1-rs1 gene is distinct from the genome region surrounding it. We have proposed the neomorphic origin of the U2af1-rs1 gene by retrotransposition and the particular mechanism of genomic imprinting of ectopic genes.

Abstract
The modification of DNA by cytosine methylation is crucial for normal development. DNA methylation patterns are distinctive between tissues and are maintained with high fidelity during cell division. DNA methylation probably exerts its effects through alterations in chromatin structure, with a resultant effect on genetic transcription. 5-methylcytosine is also prone to spontaneous hydrolytic deamination to thymine. Whilst most G:T mismatches so produced are repaired, failure of mismatch repair leads to established mutation. Indeed, mutations that are the result of 5-methylcytosine transitions account for a disproportionate number of genetic mutations described in malignant and non-malignant disease. There is also evidence for substantial deregulation of DNA methylation in malignancy. Whether this deregulation is crucial for the transformation process, or simply an epiphenomenon associated with it, is still not established.

Abstract
Normal mammalian development requires a diploid combination of both haploid parental genomes. Uniparental disomy for certain segments of specific chromosomes results in aberrant development or prenatal lethality, indicating that the parental genomes have undergone modifications during gametogenesis. These modifications result in parent-of-origin specific expression for some genes, a phenomenon called genomic imprinting. Recent work with DNA methyltransferase deficient mice showed that differential methylation is the probable basis of the imprinted character of several genes. Screening for endogenous imprinted loci using restriction landmark genomic scanning with methylation sensitive enzymes (RLGS-M) identified eight imprinted RLGS (Irigs) candidate loci. Molecular analysis of the genomic region of one of the loci (Irigs2) resulted in the discovery of the paternally imprinted U2afbp-rs gene within a previously identified imprinted region on mouse chromosome 11 (refs 5, 7). This paper describes the characterisation of a novel imprinted RLGS-M locus, Irigs3, on mouse chromosome 9 (ref. 6). Within this locus we identified the Grf1 (also called Cdc25Mm) gene, which is homologous to the RAS-specific guanine nucleotide exchange factor gene, CDC25, in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Grf1 is located about 30 kb downstream of the methylation imprinted site, identified by RLGS-M, and shows paternal allele specific expression in mouse brain, stomach and heart. Our results indicate that imprinting may have a role in regulating mitogenic signal transduction pathways during growth and development.

Abstract
We have developed a technique for isolating DNA markers tightly linked to a target region that is based on RLGS, named RLGS spot-bombing (RLGS-SB). RLGS-SB allows us to scan the genome of higher organisms quickly and efficiently to identify loci that are linked to either a target region or gene of interest. The method was initially tested by analyzing a C57BL/6-GusS mouse congenic strain. We identified 33 variant markers out of 10,565 total loci in a 4.2-centimorgan (cM) interval surrounding the Gus locus in 4 days of laboratory work. The validity of RLGS-SB to find DNA markers linked to a target locus was also tested on pooled DNA from segregating backcross progeny by analyzing the spot intensity of already mapped RLGS loci. Finally, we used RLGS-SB to identify DNA markers closely linked to the mouse reeler (rl) locus on chromosome 5 by phenotypic pooling. A total of 31 RLGS loci were identified and mapped to the target region after screening 8856 loci. These 31 loci were mapped within 11.7 cM surrounding rl. The average density of RLGS loci located in the rl region was 0.38 cM. Three loci were closely linked to rl showing a recombination frequency of 0/340, which is < 1 cM from rl. Thus, RLGS-SB provides an efficient and rapid method for the detection and isolation of polymorphic DNA markers linked to a trait or gene of interest.

Abstract
Restriction landmark genomic scanning (RLGS) has been used to screen endogenous loci for imprinted patterns of methylation. The screening method is based upon the identification of genetic variation in RLGS profiles between different strains and determining whether specific variant landmarks are transmitted equally to the progeny of reciprocal F1 matings. The RLGS profiles of C57BL/6 (B6) and DBA/2 (D2) and their reciprocal hybrids were produced with two enzyme combinations that used NotI as the landmark enzyme and two combinations that used BssHII. An estimated 13% of the spots are either B5- or D2-specific in these tests, giving a total of nearly 1000 variant loci that were examined for imprinted methylation. Three candidate loci for imprinted regulation were identified in these analyses. We also used crosses of more genetically diverse parents to increase the number of variant loci screened. Interspecific crosses of B6 with the M. musculus strain PWK and intrasubspecific crosses between B6 and the M. molossinus strain MSM expanded the levels of variation between the parental strains in the cross to an estimated 31% and 26%, respectively. The RLGS patterns for one NotI combination and one BssHII profile were examined for each of these crosses, giving approximately 2000 additional loci that were screened for imprinted patterns of methylation. Eight loci with imprinted patterns of transmission were observed out of 3040 loci tested. The chromosomal locations for the three B6 and D2 specific loci, Irlgs 1-3, were identified using BXD recombinant inbred strain analysis. Irlgs 1 and 3 are B6- and D2-specific loci that had the same strain distribution pattern which mapped to the central region of chromosome 9.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Restriction landmark genomic scanning (RLGS) was originally proposed as a high-speed method for surveying a large number of restriction landmarks in genomic DNA. The effort to apply this method to genetic analysis has been made, resulting in developing the new approach for the rapid construction of the genetic map of complex mammalian genomes (RLGS spot mapping). Especially, the use of NotI as the restriction landmark for genetic studies suggests that there is a high probability that a significant number of these RLGS loci will be associated with CpG islands of functional genes. Moreover, it is possible to use the RLGS spot mapping to analyze genetic map-poor species very rapidly for linkage of recessive mutations or segregating traits, because it does not rely upon cloned probes or sequences. In this paper, we summarize the progress that has been made in the practical application of the RLGS method to genetic analysis using congenic strains, recombinant inbred (RI) strains, and in interspecific backcrosses of mice.
