Abstract
Complementary DNA clones encoding bovine vasopressin and human pancreas growth hormone releasing factor have been used to map homologous sequences in the human genome. Assignment of both cloned sequences to human chromosome 20 was accomplished by hybridization of insert DNAs to a panel of human-rodent somatic cell hybrids. Both these probes have been used to examine the structure of their respective genes in DNA from various individuals. No restriction fragment variants for growth hormone releasing factor have yet been found. Analysis of populations for restriction fragment length polymorphisms associated with disease states involving arginine vasopressin is underway.
