摘要
To investigate the relationship between meiotic crossover hot spots and block-like linkage disequilibrium (LD), we have extended our high-resolution studies of the human MHC class II region to a 90-kb segment upstream of the HLA-DOA gene. LD blocks in this region are not as well defined as in the neighboring 210-kb DNA segment but do show two regions of LD breakdown in which coalescent analysis indicates substantial historical recombination. Sperm crossover analysis of one region revealed a novel localized hot spot similar in intensity and morphology to most other MHC hot spots. Crossovers at this hot spot are not obviously affected by a large insertion/deletion polymorphism near the hot spot. The second region of LD breakdown, within the DPB1 gene, shows an extremely low level of sperm crossover activity and does not contain a sperm crossover hot spot. These results highlight the complexity of LD patterns and the importance of experimentally verifying crossover hot spots. (c) 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
