Localization of the human AHNAK/desmoyokin gene (AHNAK) to chromosome band 11q12 by somatic cell hybrid analysis and fluorescence in situ hybridization

Cytogenet Cell Genet. 1995;70(3-4):218-20. doi: 10.1159/000134037.

Abstract

Using a panel of somatic cell hybrids, we have mapped the locus for the AHNAK/desmoyokin gene (AHNAK) to human chromosome 11. Fluorescence in situ hybridization experiments independently confirmed the chromosomal localization and refined it to band 11q12.
