Comparative Southern hybridization of cDNA probes to DNA from cells carrying either one or four X chromosomes has been used to distinguish sequences derived from the functional locus for hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) on the X chromosome from four independent HPRT-like autosomal sequences in the human genome. Subfragments of cDNA were then used to orient fragments from the HPRT locus with respect to the mRNA sequence. The chromosomal origin of each of the autosomal sequences was determined by Southern analysis using DNA from a panel of human-Chinese hamster somatic cell hybrids. Two of the HPRT-like sequences were localized to chromosome 11, the third to chromosome 3, and the fourth to the region between p13 and q11 on chromosome 5. Three of these four autosomal sequences were isolated from genomic recombinant libraries and subcloned fragments from each were used as probes to study restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLP) at these loci. A RFLP for MspI was found at the HPRT-like locus on chromosome 5 with a 1.3-kb major allele (frequency = 0.8) and a 3.6-kb minor allele (frequency = 0.2).
