Esterase d; esd s-formylglutathione hydrolase, included; fgh, included

Hopkinson et al. (1973) described a red cell esterase that they called esterase D (EC 3.1.1.1). Although studied in red cell hemolysates, esterase D was found in many different tissues including cultured fibroblasts and lymphocytoid cells. Genetic polymorphism was discovered in European, black, and Indian populations. Cowell et al. (1986) showed that there is a consistently lower level of esterase D enzyme activity in persons with the 2-2 phenotype when activity is measured in certain ways. They emphasized the importance of checking the electrophoretic phenotype before concluding that chromosome 13 deletion is present in a family being studied in connection with retinoblastoma (see later). Munier et al. (1988) reviewed 16 rare alleles at the ESD locus and reported a previously undescribed variant in a Portuguese family. Data on gene frequencies of allelic variants were tabulated by Roychoudhury and Nei (1988). From study of somatic cell hybrids, Van Heyningen et al. (1975) concluded that the esterase D locus may be on chromosome 13. By the same method, Chen et al. (1975) also assigned this locus to chromosome 13. Namboodiri et al. (1977) concluded that Lp (152200) and esterase D are closely linked; the lod score was 2.32 at a recombination fraction of 0.0. However, Greger et al. (1988) excluded the linkage of LPA not only with ESD but also with RB1 (614041). (Subsequently, the LPA locus was mapped to 6q27.) Sparkes et al. (1980) found that quantitative and qualitative expression of esterase D in 5 persons with partial deletions or duplications of chromosome 13 supported localization of the gene to 13q14. The same band had been found deleted in cases of retinoblastoma. They suggested that linkage of familial retinoblastoma and esterase D should be sought, to check on whether familial retinoblastoma represents mutation at the same locus as that deleted in the 'chromosomal' form of the disorder, and, if linkage were found, to provide a means of genetic counseling and early diagnosis, including prenatal diagnosis. Rivera et al. (1981) concluded that the retinoblastoma and esterase D loci are in the proximal half of the 13q14 band. Mohandas et al. (1982) found that mouse-human cell hybrid clones retaining a human X/13 translocation did not express esterase D. They suggested that this may reflect spreading of inactivation into the autosomal part of the translocation chromosome. The breakpoint in chromosome 13 was 13q12. The X/13 translocation was derived from a patient who had bilateral retinoblastoma and failure to thrive, identified by Cross et al. (1977) and studied further by Nichols et al. (1980), who proposed that since the translocation chromosome was late-labeling, the patient was effectively monosomic for 13q14 in a majority of her cells. (Couturier et al. (1979) gave a comparable explanation for the low superoxide dismutase found in a case of X/21 translocation.) In a patient with retinoblastoma and deletion of 13q14.1-q22.3, Sparkes et al. (1984) found that the esterase D locus was apparently intact--levels of enzyme activity were normal in red blood cells and in fibroblasts. This indicated that the order of genes is centromere--ESD--RB1. Frydman et al. (1985) investigated linkage of Wilson disease (277900) with 27 autosomal markers. A lod score of 3.21 was found at theta = 0.06 for linkage of WD and esterase D on chromosome 13. In a note added in proof, they indicated that they had typed a second unrelated 10-member sibship with W ... More on the omim web site
