Adam9 Adam15 and Adam21, genes encoding members of the ADAM or MDC family o
f metalloproteases, have been mapped to mouse chromosomes 8, 1, and 12, res
pectively, using an interspecific cross. The mapping of these mouse loci an
d the extrapolated loci for their human orthologs may facilitate the mappin
g of diseases involving these genes. (C) 2000 Published by Elsevier Science
