K. Kastury et al., THE HUMAN HOMOLOG OF THE RETROVIRAL ONCOGENE QIN MAPS TO CHROMOSOME 14Q13, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United Statesof America, 91(9), 1994, pp. 3616-3618
Chromosomal mapping of the human QIN gene (renamed FKH2 by the Human G
enome Organization Nomenclature Committee) was initially accomplished
by correlation of the presence of the QIN locus with specific chromoso
me regions in a rodent-human hybrid panel. This analysis revealed that
the human QIN gene maps to chromosome region 14q11.2 --> 14q32, betwe
en the TCR and IGH loci. Further analysis by fluorescence in situ hybr
idization techniques with a human QIN genomic clone refined the human
QIN gene localization to 14q13.
