Assignment of the TCRA/TCRD locus to sheep chromosome bands 7q1.4-->q2.2 by fluorescence in situ hybridization.

Two genomic clones for the TCRA/TCRD locus have been isolated and characterized in sheep. The first clone corresponds to a new sheep Valpha element, the other to the entire Cdelta gene. Chromosomal mapping by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) of Valpha and Cdelta clones localized the TCRA/TCRD locus on sheep chromosome region 7q14-->q22. This is the first physical assignment for genomic clones on sheep chromosome 7 by FISH. Moreover, the present data put the ovine 7q14-->q22 and the human 14q11.2 regions in the same syntenic group.

Tuberous sclerosis.

Tuberous sclerosis (epiloia, Bourneville-Pringle syndrome) is an inherited disease with an autosomal pattern. Both sexes are affected equally with varied expression in successive generations. Two cases of this unusual disorder in siblings are reported. They illustrate heredofamilial nature, dissimilar expression, mutations, and oral manifestations.
