Popis: We have fine mapped 29 ESTs of Genemap'99 to YACs and radiation hybrids covering 8 cM of the chromosomal region of 3q28-q29. Focusing on the genetic interval of approximately 1 Mb between markers D3S3669 and D3S3562 we established a sequence-ready PAC contig which covers the OPA1 locus containing the gene causing autosomal dominant optic atrophy (ADOA; OMIM*165500). The fidelity of the contig was increased by the generation of 181 PAC end sequences, 84 of which resulted in PCR-able STSs. Sequence content evaluation of the PAC ends by BLAST analysis identified two novel ESTs localising to the OPA1 crucial interval.
