title: Isolation and mapping of 186 new DNA markers on human chromosome 1.
abstract: To obtain DNA markers on human chromosome 1, we first isolated 500 cosmid clones from mouse A9 cells containing a human chromosome 1 tagged with pSV2neo. Of these, 186 were localized on each band of human chromosome 1 by R-banding fluorescence in situ hybridization; 118 and 68 were on the short and long arms, respectively. We performed restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of these cosmid clones, and polymorphism was recognized with one or more enzyme in 43 of them. Two markers proved to have variable numbers of tandem repeats. Since several tumor suppressor genes, as well as genes responsible for hereditary disorders, may be located on this human chromosome, the DNA markers will be useful for RFLP analysis or the isolation of new genes related to various disorders.
