Assignment of the human gene for the sarcomeric M-band protein myomesin (MYOM1) to 18p11.31-p11.32.

Kcnk4–1.7 6 1.0–Adra2c. Additional comments: We have compared our interspecific map of chromosome 5 with a composite mouse linkage map that reports the map locations of many uncloned mouse mutations (provided from the Mouse Genome Database, a computerized database maintained at The Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, ME). Kcnk4 mapped in a region of the composite map that lacks mouse mutations with a phenotype that might be expected for an alteration in this locus (data not shown). Homologies: The proximal region of mouse chromosome 5 shares regions of homology with human chromosomes 7p, 2p, 18p, and 4p, suggesting that the human homologue of Kcnk4 will map to one of these human chromosomes.
