Abstract
The gene encoding a human neutral amino acid transporter-like protein (SLC1A5) was mapped to chromosome band 19q13.3 by fluorescence in situ hybridization to metaphase chromosomes. A simple sequence repeat DNA polymorphism of the form (GT), was identified in the 3'-untranslated r egion of SLC1A5 mRNA. Studies in the CEPH families showed significant evidence of linkage between this DNA polymorphism and markers localize d to the distal long arm of chromosome 19. (C) 1994 Academic Press, In c.
