    Summary We have isolated 23 human X chromosome-specific DNA fragments from λ libraries, prepared from flow-sorted X chromosomes. To increase diagnostic potential for X-linked genetic disorders, including Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), the fragments were tested for restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) with six restriction enzymes. All fragments were regionally mapped to segments of the X chromosome with a panel of somatic cell hybrids and with human cell lines carrying unbalanced chromosomal abnormalities. Two of the isolated probes detected a high frequency RFLP. One, 754, maps between Xp11.3 and Xp21 and detects a PstI polymorphism with an allele frequency of 0.38. The other, 782, maps between Xp22.2 and Xp22.3 and reveals an EcoRI polymorphism with an allele frequency of 0.40. According to a pilot linkage study of families at risk for Duchenne muscular dystrophy, 754 gives a maximum Lod score of 7.6 at a recombination fraction of 0.03. Probe 782 lies telomeric to DMD with a maximum Lod score of 2.2 at a recombination fraction of 0.17. Using our X-chromosomal probes and a set of autosomal probes, isolated and examined in an identical way, we found a significantly lower RFLP frequency for the X chromosome as compared to the autosomes.

    Summary An insertional translocation into the proximal long arm of the X chromosome in a boy showing muscular hypotony, growth retardation, psychomotor retardation, cryptorchidism, and Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease (PMD) was identified as a duplication of the Xq21–q22 segment by employing DNA probes. With densitometric scanning for quantitation of hybridization signals, 15 Xq probes were assigned to the duplicated region. Analysis of the duplication allowed us to dissect the X-Y homologous region physically at Xq21 and to refine the assignments of the loci for DXYS5, DXYS12, DXYS13, DXS94, DXS95, DXS96, DXS111, and DXS211. Furthermore, we demonstrated the presence of two different DXYS13, and DXS17 alleles in genomic DNA of our patient, suggesting that the duplication resulted from a meiotic recombination event involving the two maternal X chromosomes.

    Notes:
    Summary We have isolated a random cosmid cX5 (DXS148), which maps into a small Xp21 deletion associated with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and McLeod syndrome. cX5 maps proximally outside several other deletions associated with DMD, glycerol kinase deficiency (GK) and adrenal hypoplasia (AHC). The following order of loci is proposed: centromere-OTC-cX5 (DXS148)-754 (DXS84)-PERT87 (DXS164)/DMD-telomere. A subclone cX5.7, isolated from this cosmid, identifies an MspI RFLP, with a minor allele frequency of 35%. This probe forms an important adjunct to the existing RFLPs for family studies in Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

    Notes:
    Summary We have isolated 70 kb of sequences surrounding probe 754 (DXS84), linked with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. In addition to the original PstI RFLP detected by 754, BglII and EcoRI RFLPs were detected with the single copy subclone 754.11 and a HindIII RFLP with the subclone 754.6. The BglII and HindIII and HindIII RFLPs both have minor allele frequencies of 40%, as in PstI polymorphism. The EcoRI polymorphism has a minor allele frequency of 23%. Since a linkage disequilibrium is observed between these RFLPs (P〈0.001), the BglII and the HindIII RFLPs do not contribute to the heterozygosity. However, the minor allele of the EcoRI RFLP segregates exclusively with the major haplotype of the PstI-BglII-HindIII complex, and consequently 47% of the homozygotes for the haplotype become heterozygous. As a result, the overal heterozygote frequency of the DXS84 locus increases from 50% to 65%.
