Five intervals in the pericentromeric region of human chromosome 10 ha
ve been defined using a panel of somatic cell hybrids carrying portion
s of the chromosome. The map positions of twelve markers, consisting o
f four genes and eight anonymous DNA segments, have been localized by
assignment to one of the five intervals. Several other markers could b
e placed in specific intervals by genetic linkage to assigned loci. Wh
en previously published data are incorporated, the summary map of the
pericentromeric region encompasses thirty-two loci in bands 10p11.2-q1
1.2.
