A detailed marker gene study in a large Dutch kindred segregating for a reciprocal translocation between the chromosomes 6 and 20, t(6;20) (p21;p13), revealed a close linkage between the HLA genes and the breakpoint on the short arm of 6. During this study an apparent peak lod score of 2.9 was obtai

β¦ Synopsis
We have previously described the cytogenetic analysis of two patients with Greig cephalopolysyndactyly syndrome (GCPS) and various microdeletions on the short arm of Chromosome (Chr) 7. Using genes and anonymous DNA probes from 7p we analyzed the DNA of our patients for loss of heterozygosity, or we determined the copy number by semi-quantitative Southern hybridization. We have been able to show hemizygosity for the genes of INHBA, IGFBP1 and GLI3 in both patients and therefore can give the chromosomal assignment 7p12.3-p13. CRI-R944 and CRI-P137 map to the same region, whereas CRI-S207 can be assigned to 7p13-p14.2; TM102L, TS93, TS194, TM77 and TN177 showed no change and these probes map distal to 7p14.2.

Two males and two females with different but overlapping deletions on the proximal long arm of the X chromosomes have been investigated. Their karyotypes, which have been well characterized by high resolution banding techniques, are 46,Y,del(X)(pter----q21.1::q21.33----qter); 46,Y,del(X)(pter----q21
