Regional localisation of X chromosome short arm probes.
Nine human X chromosome-specific clones have been isolated by screening an X-chromosomal genomic library with fetal muscle cDNA. Five of the clones have been localised to the short arm and four to the long arm. The short arm probes have been regionally assigned using a panel of somatic cell hybrids. They have been mapped further using a series of DNA samples from male patients with different deletions of the region Xp21, and having complex phenotypes including Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The use of these probes in the mapping of the short arm of the X chromosome is discussed.
