title: Isolation and characterization of three microsatellite markers in the proximal long arm of the human X chromosome.
abstract: Three microsatellites have been identified in cosmids from the human X chromosome. The cosmids have been assigned locus numbers DXS554, DXS559, and DXS566 and have been localized to Xq12-q13 (DXS554 and DXS559) and Xq13 (DXS566). In addition, they have been genetically mapped in relation to the androgen receptor (AR), phosphoglycerate kinase 1, pseudogene 1 (PGK1P1), and phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK1) loci in the proximal long arm. Genetically, the localization of microsatellites at DXS554 and DXS566 is indistinguishable from PGK1, whereas that at DXS559 maps between AR and PGK1, close to PGK1P1. DXS566 is identical to the independently identified DXS441 marker. These markers should be useful for physical and genetic mapping in this region.
