LCN1 gene encodes the tear lipocalin; the lipocalins are a large and g
rowing family of proteins characterized by their ability to bind small
hydrophobic molecules. We report here the location of a dinucleotide
repeat microsatellite marker (D9S1826) close to LCN1. gene. Using the
CEPH reference families, the position of LCN1 is located within the 9q
34 genetic map between D9S23 and D9S158.
