Six new polymorphic microsatellite markers used for the integration of genetic and physical maps of human chromosome 7.

We report the isolation and characterization of six new polymorphic dinucleotide repeat microsatellite markers (D7S1491, D7S1492, D7S1493, D7S1494, D7S1495, and D7S 1496), their integration into the genetic map of human chromosome 7 by analysis of 40 CEPH (Centre d'Etude du Polymorphisme Humain) pedigrees, and their use for integration of physical and genetic maps of this chromosome.
