Abstract:
Physical mapping of human chromosome 16 has been undertaken using somatic cell hybrid DNAs as templates for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) deletion analysis of sequence tagged sites (STSs). A panel of 29 somatic cell hybrids was analyzed, confirming and refining previous chromosome 16 breakpoint orders and distinguishing between the locations of breakpoints in new hybrids. Ten STS markers were coamplified in three multiplex reactions allowing the rapid, simultaneous deletion analysis of nine different loci. The locations of the protamine (PRM1), sialophorin (SPN), complement component receptor 3A (CR3A), NAD(P)H menadione oxidoreductase 1 (NMOR1), and calbindin (CALB2) genes were refined.
