During the recent cloning of the mouse Lyst gene we developed both a h
igh-resolution genetic map and a complete YAC and BAC contig of the Ly
st critical region on mouse Chromosome 13. We also report the mapping
of the human homologue of the mouse Lyst gene (LYST) to 1q43. These da
ta are consistent with LYST being the gene for the human Chediak-Higas
hi Syndrome and strengthen the synteny relationship between MMU13 and
human 1q43. (C) 1997 Academic Press.
