Popis: Modifier-of-deafwaddler (mdfw) and waltzer (Cdh23v) are loci on mouse chromosome 10 encoding factors that are essential for the function of auditory hair cells. The BALB/cByJ-specific mdfw allele encodes a necessary and sufficient modifier that induces progressive early onset hearing loss in CBy-dfw2J heterozygotes. Recessive mutations in the waltzer locus result in circling behavior and congenital deafness. In this report we present a high-resolution integrated genetic and physical map of mdfw and Cdh23(v). Our genetic analyses localize mdfw between markers D10Mit60 and 148M13T7 within a 1.01-cM region. The Cdh23v critical interval is fully contained within the mdfw region and localizes between markers 146O23T7 and 148M13T7 within a 0.35-cM interval that is represented in an approximately 500-kb BAC contig. Our data suggest that mdfw and Cdh23v are allelic.
