The q21 region of chromosome 17 contains the gene BRCA1, which is involved in familial early-onset breast and ovarian cancers. A physical map of a region that extends from a distal boundary of the BRCA1 region, D17S78, to GP2B has been constructed. The map consists of 30 STSs, including 2 new short tandem repeat polymorphic markers. The contig is composed of a mixture of 7 YACs, 5 P1 plasmids, and 14 cosmids and was ordered by STS-content mapping.
