✦ Synopsis
The current approach to the chromosomal localization of genes coding for lysosomal enzymes has been the correlation of enzymatic and karyotypic analyses of human-rodent somatic cell hybrids. The feasibility of regional mapping depends on the availability of human cells with informative chromosomal rearrangements. In this communication we report the first localization of a gene coding for a lysosomal enzyme by in situ hybridization. The application of an acid alpha-glucosidase cDNA probe to normal human chromosomes allowed direct regional mapping of the alpha-glucosidase locus (GAA) to the region q23----q25 of chromosome 17.

Ribophorin I and II (RPN I and RPN II), two specific glycoproteins, span the rough regions of the endoplasmic reticulum (RER) and are thought to play an important role either in translocation or in the maintenance of RER. Studies with human-mouse somatic cell hybrids have localized the gene for RPN
