A panel of 26 mouse-human somatic cell hybrids containing different human chromosome complements was analyzed with a cloned human pepsinogen cDNA probe to determine the chromosomal location and the number of genes encoding these proteins. A complex containing variable numbers of pepsinogen genes was localized to the centromeric region of human chromosome 11 (p11----q13). Examination of somatic cell hybrids containing single copies of chromosome 11 and the corresponding human parental cell lines revealed a restriction fragment length polymorphism determined by pepsinogen haplotypes that contained two or three genes, respectively. Concurrent studies of DNA from individuals exhibiting the most common pepsinogen electrophoretic phenotypes with exon-specific probes demonstrated that the absence of one gene among the different restriction fragment patterns correlated with the absence of one specific isozymogen (Pg 5). Thus, our studies demonstrate that this genetic polymorphism involving intensity variation of individual pepsinogen isozymogens results from chromosome haplotypes that contain different numbers of genes. The regional localization of this polymorphic gene complex will facilitate detailed linkage analysis of human chromosome 11.
