The genes encoding apolipoproteins AI, CIII, and AIV, three plasma proteins involved in lipid metabolism, are clustered within a 15-kb DNA segment (apoAI-CIII-AIV gene cluster) located on human chromosome 11 at band q23. The gene encoding the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM), a cell surface glycoprotein involved in cell-cell recognition during morphogenesis, is also located on chromosome 11, band q23. In this report, 12 previously described restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) in the apoAI-CIII-AIV gene cluster were tested for cosegregation with a newly identified BamHI RFLP in the NCAM gene using 13 families. The results show that the apoAI-CIII-AIV gene cluster and the NCAM gene loci are linked with a maximum lod score of 15.9 at a recombination fraction of 0.028. In addition, an approach for the most efficient use of the apoAI-CIII-AIV gene cluster polymorphisms, based on the evaluation of their individual and cumulative heterozygosities, is presented.
