Abstract
We have recently described a new locus, Hyalβ1, which determines hyaluronidase variants in mouse serum. On the basis of segregation in recombinant inbred and congeric strains, Hyalβ1 was tentatively assigned to chromosome 9 (FiszerβSzafarz and De Maeyer, '89). In the present study we have performed a linkage analysis of Hyalβ1 using 156 backcross progeny of an interspecies cross of laboratory mice and Mus Spretus. Linkage was tested to two anchor loci on chromosome 9: d (dilute, a coat color locus) and Bglβs (a locus controlling Ξ²βgalactosidase activity). The gene order (from centromere) with intervening percentage recombination is dβ16.6 ( Β± 2.9)βHyalβ1β10.9 ( Β± 2.4)βBglβs, indicating close linkage to Hβ7 and Fvβ2.

Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) is an important event of tumorigenesis. In gastric cancer, we found a novel region of LOH in chromosome 9q having about 800 kb deletions at 9q31.1. The microsatellite marker D9S938 in that region exhibiting the highest LOH frequency, 56.5%. In addition, the LOH at 9q31.1
Several reports have indicated genetic linkage between markers on the short arm of chromosome 6 and schizophrenia. However, significant threshold levels were not always achieved, and the chromosomal regions identified are large and different in different families. One way to decrease the problem of
