PHYSICAL MAPPING OF 60DNA MARKERS IN THE P21.1-]Q21.3 REGION OF THE HUMAN X-CHROMOSOME

Using a panel of human/rodent somatic cell hybrids and human lymphoblast lines segregating 18 different human X-chromosome rearrangements and deletions, we have assigned 60 DNA markers to the physical map of the X chromosome from Xp21.1 to Xq21.3. Data from Southern blot hybridization and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification assign these markers to 15 primary map intervals. This provides a basis for further long-range cloning and mapping of the pericentromeric region of the X chromosome. © 1991.
