Physical mapping of 3 candidate tumor suppressor genes relative to Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome associated chromosomal breakpoints at 11p15.3

Cytogenet Cell Genet. 1995;68(3-4):222-5. doi: 10.1159/000133917.

Abstract

A physical map encompassing the 3 Mb region containing the breakpoints of two Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome patients at chromosome band 11p15.3 is presented. The candidate tumor suppressor genes WEE1, ST5, and rhombotin, are positioned on this map relative to these Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome translocation and inversion breakpoints.
