By using cosmid walking, we have cloned a 195-kb region from chromosome band Xq28 that encompasses the red and green color pigment genes and 85 kb of flanking sequences. This has allowed us to confirm that the color pigment genes are within very homologous units arranged in tandem array. Each unit contains two BssHII sites and one NruI site that are frequently methylated in male leukocyte DNA. A NotI and an EagI site are present 6 kb upstream from the red pigment gene promoter; the NotI site was shown to be unmethylated in the active X chromosome in leukocytes and may represent a CpG island for the whole cluster. We have identified another CpG island, 61 kb 3' from the last green pigment gene, that is unmethylated in leukocytes on the active X chromosome, but methylated on the inactive X. This island is flanked by sequences conserved in evolution and may thus correspond to an expressed gene. We also describe an informative three-allele restriction fragment length polymorphism within the pigment gene cluster.
