✦ Synopsis
We have produced physical maps of the proximal part of Xq22, containing the Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) and alpha-galactosidase A (GLA) gene loci, using long range physical mapping techniques and yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs). These maps reveal five previously unidentified CpG islands which could indicate the presence of other genes in this region.

The X-linked agammaglobulinaemia (XLA) gene locus has previously been mapped to Xq22 in genetic linkage studies. The DXS101 locus has shown no recombinations with XLA in the ten informative meioses investigated so far. The DXS101 sequence, recognised by the cX52.5 plasmid, is moderately repeated in
Recent evidence suggests that the human interferon-inducible double-stranded RNA-dependent protein kinase may function as a tumor suppressor. Here we describe the mapping of the gene for this kinase to chromosome region 2p2 1-22 by fluorescence in situ hybridization. A combined analysis of cytogenet
