There is the realistic expectation that the human genome will be mapped soon. Several maps based on different technologies will result; for example, the physical-cytogenetic map, the linkage map, the long-range restriction map and the nucleotide sequence map of each of the 24 different human chromosomes. These maps, while reflecting differences based on methodology, all yield complementary and co-linear maps. The linkage and physical maps require the same nomenclature for identifying locus symbols. The long-range restriction maps, cosmid maps and sequence maps may require different nomenclature to identify their components. Nevertheless, the maps developed using different approaches will eventually merge with mapped DNA markers and cloned genes most likely being used as sign posts to identify relatively large DNA segments. Nomenclature considerations for these developments will be a major topic for the future. For this workshop, all gene markers and their symbols, excluding DNA segments and fragile sites, were evaluated and updated by this committee. The catalog of human gene markers is presented in Table I and lists markers in alphabetical order by gene symbol. This information is derived from chromosome committee reports, HGM9 abstracts and our previous catalog of mapped genes (McAlpine et al., 1985). Only loci for which mapping data have been approved at this and previous workshops have been included; anonymous DNA segments and fragile sites have been tabulated by their respective committees. Table II lists mapped gene marker names in alphabetical order. Symbols for the genetic markers follow the guidelines approved at the Edinburgh Workshop (HGM5) and again at the Paris Workshop (HGM9)(Shows et al., 1979; Shows et al., HGM9). It is urged that these guidelines approved by Human Gene Mapping Workshops be followed for an orderly system of naming and cataloging genes.
