Analysis of the methylation pattern of the polymorphic X-chromosome linked genes PGK-1 and HPRT (1) have been widely used to assess the clonal nature of human tumour cells in female patients heterozygous for one of these markers. The applicability of this procedure would be greatly facilitated if it could be analysed by PCR (2). The PGK-1 gene seemed to be a good candidate since the methylation sites (Hpafl sites) and the polymorphic BstXl site are within 1 kb of DNA. About 33 % of females are expected to be heterozygous at this site (1). For PCR amplification, the known nucleotide sequence from exon 1 (3) had to be extended into the region containing the polymorphism. A 'Sau 3A partial' genomic library in the X-phage EMBL3 was screened with a 333 bp probe that was obtained by PCR amplification using the Al sense and Bl antisense primers (Fig. 1). One of the X clones isolated, (X 7.4), was subjected to restriction mapping and Southern hybridization to determine the appropriate DNA fragment for subcloning into pUC 13. The sequence of a subclone containing a 0.8 kb BamHI segment (pP3), was established by the dideoxy chain-termination method using the universal 'forward and reverse' sequencing primers. Because the DNA analysed did not reveal a BstXI site, 2 additional primers were synthesized, and sequence analysis was also performed on A2-B2 PCR-generated fragments from a male who did exhibit the BstXI site, and from a heterozygous female. Clonality was analysed using the Al primer and a new primer B3, located 3' of the BstXI site. The amplified fragment thus
