Regional mapping of the gene for human lysosomal acid phosphatase (ACP2) using a hybrid clone panel containing segments of human chromosome 11

Summary A clone panel containing various segments of human chromosome 11 has been selected and used for regional assignment of the gene for human lysosomal acid phosphatase (ACP₂) to the short arm of chromosome 11, in the region 11p11 11p12. Further evidence has also been presented to update the regional assignment of the gene for lactate dehydrogenase A (LDH_A) to 11p12 11p13, and to support a previous assignment of the genes for the two components of the human cell-surface antigens of the SA11 (previously designated A_L) group, SA11-1 and SA11-3 (previously designated A_L-a₁ and A_L-a₃), to 11pter 11p13. This regional clone panel will be useful for rapid regional mapping of other genes assigned to chromosome 11.
