Hereditary gingival fibromatosis (HGF, MIM 135300; approved gene symbol GINGF) is an oral disease characterized by enlargement of gingiva. Recently, a locus for autosomal dominant HGF has been mapped to an 11-cM region on chromosome 2p21. In the current investigation, we genotyped four Chinese HGF families using polymorphic microsatellite markers on 2p21. The HOMOG test provided evidence for genetic homogeneity, with evidence for linkage in four families (heterogeneity versus homogeneity test HOMOG, chi(2) = 0. 00). A cumulative maximum two-point lod score of 5.04 was produced with marker D2S390 at a recombination frequency of θ = 0 in the four linked families. Haplotype analysis localized the hereditary gingival fibromatosis locus within the region defined by D2S352 and D2S2163. This region overlaps by 3.8 cM with the previously reported HGF region. Single-strand conformation polymorphism and sequence analysis of the coding region of cytochrome P450 1B1 (CYP1B1) excluded it as a likely candidate gene.
