Molecular genetic analysis of recessive mutations at a heterozygous autosomal locus in human cells
D W Yandell et al. Mutat Res. 1990 Mar.
Abstract
We have investigated the genotypic changes that lead to expression of a recessive allele at a heterozygous autosomal locus in a human cell line. Mutant clones lacking thymidine kinase activity were derived from a B-cell lymphoblastoid line initially heterozygous at the tk locus, and restriction mapping was performed to detect intragenic structural alterations in the tk gene. In addition, informative molecular markers located elsewhere on chromosome 17 were analysed in order to detect large-scale (multilocus) events. We report that among 325 spontaneous and induced mutants, allele loss was more common than intragenic rearrangements or point mutations; in many cases, loss of heterozygosity appears to have extended well beyond the locus under selection. Cytogenetic analysis of a subset of these mutants showed that expression of the recessive TK-deficient phenotype and the associated loss of heterozygosity for chromosome 17 markers was not typically associated with detectable chromosomal changes.
