Assignment of the human gene for phosphoglycolate phosphatase to chromosome 16

Seventeen independently derived primary mouse-human hybrid clones were scored for the expression of human phosphoglycolate phosphatase (PGP) by electrophoresis and for the presence of human chromosomes with the aid of Q banding. The correlation of biochemical and cytogenetic analyses shows that the segregation of human PGP in these hybrids is concordant only with human chromosome 16, thus enabling the assignment of the genetic locus for PGP to human chromosome 16.
