Erythropoietin (EPO), a glycoprotein hormone, is the major physiological regulator of erythrocyte production in mammals. A cDNA clone containing the entire human EPO-coding region was used for Southern blot analysis of a series of human-Chinese hamster somatic cell hybrids containing different combinations of human chromosomes. Synteny analysis revealed 100% concordance between the EPO gene and human chromosome 7. Further localization to the region q11-q22 was accomplished by in situ hybridization of 3H-labeled human EPO cDNA to metaphase chromosomes prepared from both human lymphocytes and the cell hybrid 879-2a that contained human chromosomes 5, 7, 9, 12, and 21. In addition, restriction fragment length polymorphisms were detected at a frequency of approximately 20% in a Chinese population using restriction enzymes either HindIII or HinfI. These polymorphisms were inherited in a Mendelian fashion. Thus, the EPO marker is reasonably polymorphic and should be useful in linkage analysis with other genetic markers on chromosome 7, including the locus for cystic fibrosis.
