In human-hamster hybrid cells, Wilson et al. (1986) found that beta-glycerol phosphatase cosegregated with chromosome 8. In one clone in which 8q was apparently present (according to karyotyping) but 8p was apparently absent (according to absence of glutathione reductase; 138300), GPB was expressed, suggesting that the locus may be on 8q. Wijnen et al. (1987) confirmed the assignment to chromosome 8.
