The MOG locus, located on chromosomal bands 6p21.3-p22 and mapped about 100 kb telomeric to HLA-F, was isolated from cosmid ICRFc109A2434 and shown to contain three microsatellites. These CA-repeat polymorphic markers were characterized in a sample of 173 healthy unrelated individuals and 84 DNAs from the HLA Workshop reference panel, by a method combining fluorescence labeling of PCR products and use of an automated DNA sequencer. For the three markers, frequencies of heterozygotes are well predicted from allele frequencies by the Hardy-Weinberg rule, which suggests that problems of allele nonamplification are unlikely. Typing of cell lines homozygous in the HLA region allowed unambiguous definition of 81 HLA-MOG haplotypes and showed that several HLA ancestral haplotypes extended to the MOG region. The high degree of polymorphism (59%, 51%, and 81% at the three loci, respectively, and 87% at the haplotype level) makes these new markers informative for association or linkage studies with diseases such as hemochromatosis or multiple sclerosis, and for studies aimed at precisely delineating the site of crossover in chromosomes in which recombination occurred in the distal part of the HLA class I region.
