title: Definition and mapping of STSs at STR and RFLP loci in Xp11-Xq22.
abstract: New primer pair sequences specific for 25 loci in the Xp11-q22.1 region are described. Eighteen of the pairs span segments containing significant CA dinucleotide repeats, with 9 of these revealing polymorphisms of greater than 50% heterozygosity. Four of the CA-containing segments occur in probes previously reported to detect RFLPs, while the remaining 14 are from newly isolated clones. STSs were also developed for 7 other RFLP-only loci. All of these 25 STSs plus 11 other published STR markers have been fine-mapped with respect to chromosomal breakpoints, defining 15 subintervals in Xp11-Xq22. This map of 36 STSs, nearly all of which are associated with markers that are genetically mapped and/or highly polymorphic, will significantly aid efforts to construct a complete physical map of this region and to correlate it with the high-density genetic map.
