Linkage mapping of human chromosome 10 microsatellite polymorphisms

Abstract Ten microsatellite DNA polymorphisms located on human chromosome 10 were regionally mapped using subchromosomal somatic cell hybrids and linkage analysis. The resulting order of the markers from pter-qter was [D10S89, D10S111], D10S107, D10S109, [D10S91, D10S110, D10S108, D10S88, D10S168], and D10S169. Order of the markers within brackets was uncertain, although the order given was most likely. The microsatellites were distributed along the chromosome from the proximal p arm to near qter, with an unlinked gap between D10S168 and D10S169.
