title: Physical and genetic mapping of the dipeptidase gene DPEP1 to 16q24.3.
abstract: We report the subregional physical and genetic mapping on chromosome 16q of a cDNA clone selected as a potential tumor/growth suppressor sequence. By DNA sequencing and RNA expression pattern, this clone was identified as part of the renal dipeptidase gene (DPEP1). Using somatic cell hybrids carrying either different human chromosomes or chromosome 16 segments, we confirm and refine the physical mapping of DPEP1 to the chromosome 16 subregion q24.3. Two RFLPs, a biallelic polymorphism detected by TaqI and a VNTR detected by BamHI, EcoRI, and BglII, are described. Using the VNTR polymorphism, DPEP1 was shown to be linked to D16S7 with a maximum lod score of 5.8 at a recombination fraction of 0.03.
