In the pig, the linkage group around the halothane gene (HAL), composed of S-GPI-HAL-H-A1BG-PGD, has been assigned to bands p1.2----q2.2 of chromosome 6. In man, ENO1-PGD and APOE-GPI constitute two syntenic groups situated on different chromosomes (1 and 19, respectively). Since GPI and PGD are linked in the pig, we have hybridized the human cDNA probes for ENO1 and APOE to pig chromosomes. These markers were assigned to pig chromosome 6, in the q2.2----q2.4 and cen----q2.1 regions, respectively, using in situ hybridization. Since GPI and APOE are situated in the same region, we combined the use of high resolution chromosome analysis and in situ hybridization to give a more precise localization in the q1.2 and q1.2----q2.1.2 regions of chromosome 6. A possible linear order of these genes is proposed.
