Enolase-2 (ENO2), previously termed 14-3-2 protein, is an isozyme of enolase that is enriched in neuronal tissue. The gene coding for ENO2 was previously assigned to human chromosome 12. The present study presents data for a regional mapping of gene ENO2 using cell hybrids containing various deletions of human chromosome 12. These deletions were produced by treatment with chromosome-breaking ag...

tagging of restorer genes for wild abortive (wa) of cytoplasmic male sterility was carried out by studying 10000 individuals from an f2 population of a cross between ir58025a × ir42686r. this study was primarily carried out to reduce the distance of the already known markers for rf gene. this f2 population was identified to be unique as four rf genes could be tagged to ssr markers on chromosome...

Congenital external ophthalmoplegia (CFEOM) is an uncommon autosomal dominant condition that has previously been mapped to the pericentromeric region of chromosome 12 in seven families with no evidence of locus heterogeneity. We report three families with typical CFEOM. One family does not map to this region of chromosome 12 or to other chromosomal locations implicated in disorders of lid or oc...

Mouse chromosome 12 encodes the heavy chains of immunoglobulins (Igh), a family of T cell surface molecules, and a tumor antigen that may be homologous to immunoglobulins. To refine and extend the genetic map of this chromosome, a procedure has been developed to isolate chromosome 12-specific DNA fragments from a somatic cell hybrid carrying the chromosome on a Chinese hamster background. Five ...

Karyotypes of spontaneous thymomas of AKR mice were determined by trypsin-Giemsa banding methods. Trisomy of chromosome 15 occurred in 10 of 11 leukemic mice. Seven of the thymomas were predominantly trisomic for chromosome 15, one was trisomic for chromosome 12, and one exhibited multiple trisomies of chromosomes 3, 12, 15, and 17. Trisomy was not found in the norm-l AKR tissues examined.

The gene for the human major intrinsic protein (MIP) of the ocular lens fiber membrane has been assigned to region cen-q14 of chromosome 12 through the use of somatic cell hybrids containing the whole chromosome and parts of human chromosome 12.
