AbstractIn an effort to identify novel genes that are expressed differentially in an infant thymus, we constructed an oligo-d(T) primed cDNA library from a human infant thymus followed by single-run partial sequencing to generate expressed sequence tags (ESTs). Characterization of more than 1400 sequences enabled us to convert human thymus transcripts into 1223 useful ESTs. These ESTs consisted of 613 (50.1%) showing homology to known human genes, 51 (4.2%) matching to genes from other species, 289 (23.6%) matching ESTs of unknown functions, and 182 (14.9%) being novel transcripts. The expression profile of an infant thymus features a high number of genes related to cell division-DNA synthesis and gene-protein expression, indicating the active growth stage of an infant thymus. To identify the chromosomal localization of 43 thymus ESTs, PCR-based mapping was performed using a human-rodent somatic cell hybrid or radiation hybrid mapping panel. The results indicated that several novel genes were determined to be located in the vicinity of previously mapped disease loci; histidinemia loci, plasminogen Tochigi disease loci, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, hypertriglyceridemia, thyroid resistance locus, ocular albinism, galactosemia, porphyria variegata, Charcot-Marie-tooth disease, FEOM (fibrosis of extraocular muscles), Prader-Willi syndrome.
