Regional mapping of the parathyroid hormone gene (PTH) by cytogenetic and molecular studies.
Department of Pediatrics, Hokkaido University School of Medicine, Sapporo, Japan.
The locus for the human parathyroid hormone gene (PTH) was assigned to a region proximal to 11p15.4 using restriction fragment length polymorphisms and gene dose studies performed on a patient with the Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome accompanied with a chromosome abnormality [46,XX,-14,+der(14),t(14;11)(q32.3;p15.3)pat]. Our data suggest that PTH is localized in 11p15.3----p15.1, most likely near the border of the bands 11p15.4 and 11p15.3.
