Isolation and characterization of radiation-reduced hybrids containing portions of the proximal long arm of the human X chromosome: Identification of hybrids containing the Menkes' disease locus

  • Published:
Somatic Cell and Molecular Genetics

Abstract

The proximal long arm of the human X chromosome (Xcen→Xq13) encompasses an estimated 23 megabases of DNA and contains numerous identified genetic loci. In order to generate a highly enriched source of DNA from this region, radiation-reduced human-hamster hybrids were constructed and screened to identify those that contained at least part of proximal Xq. Eight such hybrids were identified and characterized by Southern blot and fluorescence in situ hybridization analyses to determine more precisely the human DNA complement in each. One hybrid contains the entire proximal long arm and will be useful for mapping Xcen→Xq13 in its entirety and for localizing genes within this region. Another hybrid contains a smaller portion of the proximal long arm that includes the region reported to contain the gene for Menkes' disease.
