Abstract
The human protooncogene NRASand the genes for the β-subunit of nerve growth factor (NGFB)and for amylase (AMY)have previously been assigned to the proximal short arm of chromosome 1, but their precise positions have not been unequivocally established. By in situ hybridization of DNA probes for the three genes, we have ascertained the location of complementary sequences in mouse-human somatic cell hybrids that contained translocations of chromosome 1. The results agreed with the presence or absence of the human sequences as determined by Southern blotting of hybrid cell DNA. The in situ data confirmed that the genes were present on the cytologically recognized rearranged chromosome. Compared to the autoradiographic silver grain distribution on normal human chromosome 1, our in situ results obtained with the translocation chromosomes allowed much greater precision of mapping. Both NRASand NGFBmap to band 1p22, and AMYwas confirmed in band 1p21.Keywords
