A region of chromosome 9, surrounding the interferon-beta (IFNB1) locus and the interferon-alpha (IFNA) gene cluster on 9p13-p22, has been shown to be frequently deleted or rearranged in a number of human cancers, including leukemia, glioma, non-small-cell lung carcinoma, and melanoma. To assist in better defining the precise region(s) of 9p implicated in each of these malignancies, a combined genetic and physical map of this region was generated using the available 9p markers IFNB1, IFNA, D9S3, and D9S19, along with a newly described locus, D9S126. The relative order and distances between these loci were determined by multipoint linkage analysis of CEPH (Centre d'Etude du Polymorphisme Humain) pedigree DNAs, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, and fluorescence in situ hybridization. All three mapping approaches gave concordant results and, in the case of multipoint linkage analysis, the following gene order was supported for these and other closely linked chromosome 9 markers present in the CEPH database: pter-D9S33-IFNB1/IFNA-D9S126-D9S3-D9S19 -D9S9/D9S15-ASSP3-qter. This map serves to extend preexisting chromosome 9 maps (which focus primarily on 9q) and also reassigns D9S3 and D9S19 to more proximal locations on 9p.
