| Popis: | The distal portion of the long arm of human chromosome 5 contains an impressive number of genes encoding growth factors, growth factor receptors, and hormone/neurotransmitter receptors. The order of and relative distance between 18 of these genes was determined by radiation hybrid mapping. There is only a single gap in a contiguous radiation map from 5q22-5q35. For this set of radiation hybrids, one map unit (centiray) corresponds to 20–50 kb of DNA. Close physical proximity for several pairs of loci was predicted by the map. Two sets of these were found to be contained in single YAC clones. The physical map produced by radiation hybrid mapping should prove useful in efforts to identify four disease genes that have been assigned to distal 5q by linkage studies. |
