A mapped set of genetic markers for human chromosome 9.
A genetic map of markers for human chromosome 9, spanning a genetic distance of 147 cM in males and 231 cM in females, has been constructed from linkage studies with 19 loci in a large panel of reference families. The markers included four classical systems previously assigned to chromosome 9, and restriction fragment length polymorphisms of two cloned genes, ABL oncogene and argininosuccinase synthetase pseudogene 3 (ASSP3). The remaining 13 marker loci, with an average heterozygosity of 42%, were defined by arbitrary DNA probes newly ascertained from genomic libraries; seven of them were variable number of tandem repeat (VNTR) loci. A subset of 7 of the 19 linked markers is proposed for a primary map that could detect linkage with a genetic defect within the covered region of chromosome 9, provided that at least 45 phase-known meioses were available for study in an affected family.
