Mapping of human autosomal phosphoglycerate kinase sequence to chromosome 19.

In order to map human PGK sequences, DNA was prepared from 55 human-mouse somatic cell lines. The DNA was digested to completion with HindIII and Southern filters prepared. These filters were hybridized at high stringency conditions to a human PGK cDNA. Mouse and human X-linked and autosomal bands were distinguished and, in addition to known X-linked sequences, two autosomal PGK sequences were mapped: a 1-kb band to chromosome 19 and a 5-kb band to chromosome 6. The PGK cDNA probe was also hybridized to flow-sorted chromosomes confirming the presence of PGK sequences on the X chromosome and chromosomes 6 and 19.
