Abstract excerpt
Approximately 50% of immortal human keratinocyte lines show loss of heterozygosity of chromosome region 4q33-q34, and the reintroduction of chromosome 4 into one such line, BICR 6, causes proliferation arrest and features of replicative senescence. Recently, a candidate gene, mortality factor 4 (MORF4), was identified in this region and sequenced in 21 immortal keratinocyte lines. There were no mutations or...
