title: Physical and genetic mapping of polymorphic loci in Xq28 (DXS15, DXS52, and DXS134): analysis of a cosmid clone and a yeast artificial chromosome.
abstract: Sequences corresponding to the Xq28 loci DXS15, DXS52, DXS134, and DXS130 were shown to be present in a 140-kb yeast artificial chromosome (YAC XY58, isolated by Little et al.). This YAC clone appears to contain a faithful copy of this genomic region, as shown by comparison with human DNA and with a cosmid clone that contains probes St14c (part of the DXS52 sequences) and cpX67 (DXS134). cpX67 and St14c are contained in 11 kb and detect the same MspI RFLP polymorphism. A comparison of the YAC restriction map and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis data leads us to propose the following order of loci: DXS52(VNTR)-DXS33-DXF22S3-DXS130-DXS134 -DXS52-DXS15-DXS52, this whole cluster being comprised within 575 kb. The physical proximity of the DXS15, DXS52, and DXS134 loci led us to reinvestigate recombination events that had been reported between these loci in families from the Centre d'Etude du Polymorphisme Humain. Our results do not support the assumption that this region shows increased recombination.
