Abstract
Genetic information contributing to cystic fibrosis in addition on the CF gene is suggested to reside on the long arm of the human chromosome 7. In our attempt to analyze this genomic region in detail, we generated a region-specific DNA probe library by microdissection and microcloning of the midpiece of the chromosome 7q arm. Microdissection was performed in unstained metaphase spreads from a human × mouse hybrid cell line containing chromosome 7 as the only human chromosome. We obtained 593 clones from 75 dissected chromosomal fragments. At least 88% of the microclones were true recombinants; 40% of the clones contained repetitive sequences as determined by plaque hybridization with genomic DNA as probe. The overall mean fragment size of insert fragments was 3.2 kb, the median size was 3.5 kb. Regional mapping of 30 DNA fragments was performed by the aid of hybrid cell lines containing different segments of human chromosome 7; 50% of the microcloned inserts were found to map to 7q22-32.Keywords
