Localization of a beta-crystallin gene, Hu beta A3/A1 (gene symbol: CRYB1), to the long arm of human chromosome 17
Abstract
We have assigned a human beta-crystallin gene, Hu beta A3/A1 (gene symbol: CRYB1), to chromosome 17 using a panel of 19 human-hamster somatic cell hybrids and blot-hybridization analysis of cell hybrid DNA. Positive probe-hybridization signal was detected in a hybrid that had lost the short arm of human chromosome 17 but retained the long arm, translocated to a hamster chromosome. In addition, in situ hybridization analysis of metaphase chromosome spreads of this cell line suggested that the most probable location for CRYB1 is on the long arm of chromosome 17, in the region q21.
