BACKGROUND: The Blau syndrome (MIM 186580), an autosomal dominant granulomatous disease, was previously mapped to chromosome 16p12-q21. However, inconsistent physical maps of the region and consequently an unknown order of microsatellite markers, hampered us from further refining the genetic locus for the Blau syndrome. To address this problem, we constructed our own high-resolution physical map for the Blau susceptibility region. RESULTS: We generated a high-resolution physical map that provides more than 90% coverage of a refined Blau susceptibility region. The map consists of four contigs of sequence tagged site-based bacterial artificial chromosomes with a total of 124 bacterial artificial chromosomes, …

BACKGROUND: Alternative mRNA splicing of alpha(i2), a heterotrimeric G protein alpha subunit, has been shown to produce an additional protein, termed salpha(i2). In the salpha(i2) splice variant, 35 novel amino acids replace the normal C-terminal 24 amino acids of alpha(i2). Whereas alpha(i2) is found predominantly at cellular plasma membranes, salpha(i2) has been localized to intracellular Golgi membranes, and the unique 35 amino acids of salpha(i2) have been suggested to constitute a specific targeting signal. RESULTS: This paper proposes and examines an alternative hypothesis: disruption of the normal C-terminus of alpha(i2) produces an unstable protein that fails to localize to plasma …
