Human-rodent somatic cell hybrids containing deleted and translocated human X chromosomes have been used to map genes and sequences in and around the pseudoautosomal region. The following order was found: (DXS69, DXS70, DXS143)-(DXS31, STS)-MIC2. This order is consistent with the known inheritance patterns of DXS31, STS and MIC2. Assuming that the translocations and deletions we have studied are not complex rearrangements, we conclude that the pseudoautosomal region consists of less than 5 X 10(6) bp of DNA.
