Abstract
Sixty-four PCR-markers previously assigned to the short arm of chromosome 17 and two newly established STSs were localized on a hybrid cell-YAC clone panel. The 66 STSs fell into 23 unique retention patterns, providing a map covering the entire short arm of human chromosome 17 with an average resolution of approximately 1.2 Mb. The combination of radiation-reduced hybrids, somatic cell hybrids and selected YAC clones enabled the precise localization of breakpoints in two cell hybrids. Since polymoφhic STSs from the CEPH as well as the UTAH genetic map were used in this study, a physical link has been generated between these two high resolution genetic maps. FMR1L2, a second FMR1 autosomal homologue has been identified and assigned to a genomic interval between D17S796 and D17S799.
