Congenital heart disease (CHD), typically atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD), occurs in about a third of patients. In total, approximately 25 cases of 3p\u2212 syndrome have been reported world wide. We previously analysed five cases and showed that (1) the 3p25-pter deletions were variable and (2) the presence of CHD correlated with the proximal extent of the deletion, mapping a CHD gene centromeric to D3S18. To define the molecular pathology of the 3p\u2212 syndrome further, we have now proceeded to analyse the deletion region in a total of 10 patients (five with CHD), using a combination of FISH analysis and polymorphic markers, for up to 21 loci from 3p25-p26. These additional investigations further supported the location of an AVSD locus within 3p25 and refined its localisation. Thus, the critical region was reduced to an interval between D3S1263 and D3S3594. Candidate 3p25 CHD genes, such as <jats:italic>PMCA2 (ATP2B2),<\/jats:italic> fibulin 2,<jats:italic>TIMP4<\/jats:italic>, and<jats:italic>Sec13R<\/jats:italic>, were shown to map outside the target interval. Additionally, the critical region for the phenotypic features of the 3p\u2212 phenotype was mapped to D3S1317 to D3S17 (19-21 cM). These findings will accelerate the identification of the 3p25 CHD susceptibility locus and facilitate investigations of the role of this locus in non-syndromic AVSDs, which are a common form of familial and isolated CHD.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/jmg.37.8.581","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2002,7,27]],"date-time":"2002-07-27T06:38:40Z","timestamp":1027751920000},"page":"581-587","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":57,"title":["Detailed
