The Human Vitamin D Receptor Gene (<i>VDR</i>) Is Localized to Region 12cen-q12 by Fluorescent In Situ Hybridization and Radiation Hybrid Mapping: Genetic and Physical <i>VDR</i> Map

Abstract excerpt

The vitamin D receptor (VDR) is a member of the steroid hormone receptor superfamily of ligand-activated transcription factors. The VDR gene was previously mapped to human chromosome 12q13-12q14, but its precise physical and genetic localization are unknown. The present study reports the mapping of the human VDR gene by radiation hybrid (RH) analysis, the isolation of a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC)...
