Bovine embryonic trachea cells were hybridized with mouse A9 cells deficient in hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase, and cattle-mouse hybrid cells clones were isolated after HAT/ouabain selection. In these interspecific cell hybrids, bovine glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, alpha-galactosidase, and phosphoglycerate kinase were expressed concordantly with bovine HPRT. Their expression depended on the presence of bovine X chromosome. These data indicated that the genes for G6PD, PGK, and HPRT are linked and can be assigned to the bovine X chromosome.

Twenty independent man-mouse (Cl1D,LA/TK-, HPRT-) and man-hamster (CH,HPRT-) hybrids using female human cells with balanced reciprocal translocation XX,t(X;5)(q21;q11) were analyzed for human genes localized on chromosome 5 (HEXB), on chromosome X (PGK, GALA, HPRT, G6PD) and for the different chromosomes in relation with the balanced reciprocal translocation (chr.5, chr.5q-, chr.Xq+, chr.X). The different results obtained indicate that the genes for human markers HEXB, PGK are on Xq+, and that the genes for human markers GALA, G6PD are on 5q-. These data implicate finally the following localizations: HEXB on 5q11 leads to 5qter; PGK on Xq21 leads to Xpter; GALA, HPRT, G6PD on Xq21 leads to Xqter.

Somatic cell hybrid clones were derived from the fusion of hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT; EC 2.4.2.8)-deficient mouse cells and two different human fibroblast strains, each carrying an X chromosome-autosome translocation. One of these had an X/11 translocation [46,X,t(X;11)(p21;q13)] and the other had an X/19 translocation [46,X,t(X;19)(q22;q13)]. The structurally normal human X chromosome is the late-replicating (genetically inactive) chromosome in these two cell strains; the rearranged X chromosome is early replicating (genetically active). One primary hybrid clone carrying both the translocated X chromosome and the structurally normal X chromosome was isolated in hypoxanthine/aminopterin/thymidine medium from each of these two cell fusion experiments. These clones were then selected in medium containing 8-azaguanine to achieve the loss of the active human HPRT locus. Five subclones from the cell hybrid with the X/11 translocation failed to express two known human X-chromosome markers [glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD; EC 1.1.1.49) and phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK; EC 2.7.2.3)] but did express human microsomal steroid sulfatase (STS; sterol-sulfate sulfohydrolase, EC 3.1.6.2). Three of these were cytogenetically analyzed and found to contain a structurally normal human X chromosome but not the X/11 translocation. Two subclones were isolated in 8-azaguanine from the hybrid with the X/19 translocation. Cytogenetic analysis of these two clones showed the presence of a structurally normal human X chromosome; the X/19 translocation was not present. They did not express human G6PD, PGK, or HPRT but did express human STS. These results indicate that human STS is expressed from a locus on the inactive human X chromosome and support our earlier finding that the STS locus escapes X-inactivation in man.

The karyotype of microcebus murinus (MIM) (lemuridae) is considered by Dutrillaux (1979) as the closest to the karyotype ancestral to all primates. A large number of homoeologies exists between the banding patterns of MIM chromosomes and those of man (HSA). We report a comparison of the gene maps of these two species which confirms most of these homoeologies. Fifteen cell hybrids were obtained by fusing MIM fibroblasts and an HPRT- Chinese hamster cell line. Twenty-seven enzyme markers were investigated. The following assignments were demonstrated: NP to chromosome MIM 2, homoeologous to HSA 14; the syntenic group PGD-ENO1-PGM1 to MIM 3, homoeologous to HSA 1p; LDHA to MIM 5, homoeologous to HSA 11; Me1 to MIM 6, homoeologous to HSA 6; the syntenic group LDHB-CS-PEPB-ENO2-TPI to MIM 7, homoeologous to HSA 12; the syntenic group AK1-AK3 to MIM 10, which we considered to be homoeologous to HSA 9 (we do not consider MIM 9 to be homoeologous to HSA 9, as does Dutrillaux, 1979); GOT1 to MIM 15, homoeologous to HSA 10; the syntenic group HPRT-G6PD-PGK-GLA to MIM X. Synteny dissociation in three hybrids suggests closer linkage between G6PD and HPRT than between PGK-GLA and HPRT. Three syntenic groups, known in man, were confirmed in MIM but could not be assigned with full confidence: ACP1-MDH1, MP1-PKM2, and PEPD-GPI. GUK1 and PEPC, known to be syntenic in man, were found to be asyntenic in MIM and could not be assigned. PGM2 and SOD1 could not be assigned. A comparison of these gene assignments with those known in Cebus capucinus showed a remarkable homoeology for six chromosomes of the two species.

Twenty three allogeneic bone marrow transplant (BMT) patients with female donors and 23 female autologous transplant patients were assessed for clonality status after transplant to determine the nature of haemopoietic reconstitution. The X chromosome probes PGK, HPRT and M27 beta were used to assess clonality by analysis of X chromosome inactivation. Results were obtained for 15 allogeneic patients, 14 of whom gave polyclonal results after transplantation. One patient gave a skewed pattern of X chromosome inactivation after transplant due to extreme Lyonisation of the donor cells. Results were obtained from 19 autologous transplant patients, 17 of whom gave polyclonal results after transplant. Two patients gave patterns of skewed X chromosome inactivation in post-transplant samples, reflected in their constitutive DNA, due to extreme Lyonisation. The remaining patients could not be assessed because of hypermethylation of HpaII sites or indistinguishable digested and undigested alleles using M27 beta probe analysis. Haemopoietic reconstitution after allogeneic and autologous BMT, in our patients, was found to be polyclonal. Skewed patterns of X chromosome inactivation seen after transplant were due to extreme Lyonisation of the infused haemopoietic cells.

Clonal haemopoiesis has previously been demonstrated in some 30% of patients in remission of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). Whilst a 'clonal remission' in many such patients may represent a skewed X-chromosome inactivation pattern in haemopoietic cells, its relationship to an underlying preleukaemic state remains uncertain. We therefore analysed the clonal status of 48 female patients in remission of AML using X-chromosome linked restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) within the X-linked PGK and HPRT genes and the DXS255 (M27 beta) locus, and carried out in conjunction a detailed study of the morphological and karyotypic features of the patients' bone marrows. During remission, 35 patients (73%) with AML demonstrated nonclonal haemopoiesis, and their bone marrows were morphologically normal. Remission haemopoietic tissue in nine cases (19%) showed a skewed X-chromosome inactivation pattern and remission bone marrows in these patients had features of trilineage myelodysplasia (TMDS), with seven having similar features at presentation. Analysis of constitutional DNA showed a non-clonal pattern in seven of these patients, but was unsuccessful in two cases. These nine patients with post-chemotherapy TMDS were considered to have true clonal haemopoiesis. Four patients (8%) with a skewed X-chromosome inactivation pattern had normal remission bone marrows. Analysis of constitutional DNA showed a skewed pattern in two of these patients, but was unsuccessful in two cases. Cytogenetic investigation during remission in the nine patients with TMDS showed a normal karyotype in four cases and the acquisition of new karyotypic abnormalities in three cases. In contrast, 10 female patients in remission of de novo acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) were shown to have non-clonal haemopoiesis. We conclude that the majority of patients with AML who achieve remission after cytoreductive chemotherapy have non-clonal haemopoiesis, and when clonal remissions are observed these are commonly associated with the development of trilineage myelodysplasia in the bone marrow, with or without karyotypic abnormalities. True clonal remission in association with morphologically normal haemopoiesis is a rare entity, the significance and frequency of which remain uncertain.

Analysis of X-chromosome inactivation patterns in females has been used to assess clonality of various tumours and for prenatal diagnosis of X-linked disorders. Studies with these methods in acute myeloid leukaemia suggest that a significant proportion of cases have clonal remissions (ie, persistence of the malignant clone), which may represent return to a preleukaemic state. We therefore analysed X-chromosome inactivation patterns with differential methylation patterns of heterozygotes for three DNA probes, HPRT, PGK, and M27 beta, in leukaemic patients and normal controls. As expected, blast cells from 67 of 68 analysable samples (99%) were monoclonal or had a skewed X-inactivation pattern. A skewed pattern in remission was also found in 26 of 77 patients (34%), proportion only slightly greater than control (16/75, 21%). In 7 of 10 patients with a skewed pattern in myeloid cells there was similar skewing in the T cells, which is compatible with the concept of a constitutively skewed X-chromosome inactivation pattern of haemopoietic cells in these patients. Our study illustrates the difficulty of interpreting clonality in individual tumour samples and emphasises the importance of comparisons with non-malignant tissue of the same cell type from that individual and from normal control populations.

Clonality analysis, by means of polymorphisms of X-linked genes and their methylation patterns, was performed in 41 female patients with various types of refractory anemia. Bone marrow cells, peripheral blood cells, and granulocytic and lymphocytic fractions were analysed by Southern blotting with PGK, HPRT, and M27 beta probes. Clonal hematopoiesis was evidenced in 8 of 19 patients with aplastic anemia, 4 of 6 patients with RA or RARS, 3 of 7 patients with PNH, and 5 of 9 patients whose hematological characteristics did not meet the criteria of either of these entities. For aplastic anemia, clonal hematopoiesis was demonstrated in higher frequency in the patients who had longer history after diagnosis. In refractory anemia, as a whole, no clear correlation was observed between existence of clonal hematopoiesis and morphological characteristics of hematological cells.

Using a variety of genetic methods, it is shown in this paper that the genes GLA, G6PD, HPRT, and PGK are X-linked in the vole Microtus subarvalis. The order of these genes has been investigated in two vole species, M. subarvalis and M. kirgisorum, by using the mapping technique of Goss and Harris (1977a, b), which depends on the analysis of gamma-ray-induced gene segregation. The experimental data were processed with the computer programme RHMAP (Ginsburg et al., 1993). The analysis indicated that the correct gene order in M. subarvalis is PGK-HPRT-G6PD-GLA, and the same gene order was found to be the most probable for M. kirgisorum. The relative distances between the genes in the two vole species are apparently the same. The RHMAP programme has also been applied to data previously reported for the same set of X-linked genes in the American mink (Zhdanova et al., 1988), the Australian marsupial Planigale maculata (Dobrovic and Graves, 1986), and man. The evolutionary conservation of the linear order of these X-linked genes in different mammalian taxa is discussed.
