Abstract
Mammalian gene mapping techniques are now sufficiently advanced to contribute significantly to prenatal diagnosis and to human molecular genetics. Restriction fragment mapping can be used to place polymorphic genetic markers at random sites within the genome, and these sites used to assign genes responsible for disease conditions to a chromosomal region. Somatic cell genetic techniques can then be applied to saturate that region with additional restriction fragment markers, some of which will be closely linked to the disease gene. Closely linked restriction fragment markers, especially flanking pairs of markers, can act as predictors for the transmission of defective genes to offspring. A series of tightly linked flanking restriction markers might in addition contribute to the eventual isolation and cloning of the disease gene itself.
