Figure 2 Haplotypes of Chromosome 16q24 in Tunisian Jewish Patients Top: Ancestral chromosome. In patient no. 5, deviation from the ancestral chromosome at the markers D16S3425 and D16S3436 on the telomeric and centromeric sides, respectively, set the disease gene interval to 4 Mb in the Tunisian patients.

Figure 3 Palestinian Family Pedigree and Chromosome 16q24 Haplotypes Recombination event in D16S3422 in individual II:4 sets this marker as the centromeric boundary. Allele 4 in D16S3420 in individual II:1 and allele 7 in D16S3437 in individual III:1 reflect mutations in these markers.

Figure 4 Mutations in ZNF469 Cause BCS (A) Sequence chromatogram of a control subject (top) and a Tunisian patient with a homozygous deletion of A at position 5943 (bottom). (B) Sequence chromatogram of a control subject (top) and a Palestinian patient with a homozygous deletion of G at position 9527 (bottom). (C) SmaI restriction digests of the Tunisian Jewish mutation. In the carrier chromosome, the 533bp product is cleaved to yield 388 bp and 145 bp fragments. Molecular-weight marker (M), homozygotes (lanes 1 and 2), heterozygotes (lanes 3 and 4), and control subjects (lanes 5 and 6). (D) ABI 3100 assay for the detection of the Palestinian mutation. The 1bp difference is evident in homozygotes (1 and 2) compared to controls (5 and 6). Heterozygotes appear as two peaks (3 and 4).
