Abstract
Over 500 probes revealing restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) have been isolated by Schumm et al. (1988). We describe here the chromosomal assignment of 14 of the most highly polymorphic markers in that set of probes, with polymorphism information content values of up to 0.98. The probes were mapped using a panel of human × rodent somatic cell hybrids and were found to be distributed among nine different autosomes. Chromosome localization of such highly polymorphic markers has been an important step in the construction of the human genetic map, as a large number of RFLP probes has now been localized by genetic linkage studies to these loci.Keywords
