16. For sequencing of exon 1 of the HOXD13 gene the cosmid clone G2 (15), containing the homeobox genes HOXD10, HOXD11, HOXD12, HOXD13, and EVX2, was digested with Eco RI, and a 10-kb fragment containing the entire HOXD13 and the 5′ half of the HOXD12 gene was subcloned in the Eco RI site of pBluescript With this fragment as a template, the sense primer 5′-TTTGTATCAGGGQATGTGGC-3′ and the antisense primer 5′-CCACATCAGGAGA-CAGTATC-3′ were used to amplify exon 2 of the HOXD13 gene by PCR. A 1.3-kb Pst I fragment derived from the 10-kb Eco RI fragment hybridized with the PCR product and was therefore subcloned in the Pst I site of pBluescript and sequenced by dideoxynucleotide cycle sequencing. Because the 5′ end of the sequence of the Pst I fragment did not reach the translational start codon ATG of the HOXD13 gene, the primer 5′-ACATACGGCAGCTG-TAGTAG-3′, corresponding to a sequence 70 bp downstream of the 5′ Pst I site, was used for sequencing with the 10-kb Eco RI fragment as the template

The PCR products were analyzed on a 5% polyacrylamide gel under nondenaturing conditions. PCR products from affected individuals were subcloned into pCRII (invitrogen) and subjected to cycle sequencing
