Abstract excerpt
A reciprocal, balanced, constitutional chromosome translocation, t(2;3)(q33;q21), which is associated with familial clear cell renal cancer, has been described and the genomic regions surrounding the 2q and 3q breakpoints have been characterized. Based on the genomic map of the 2q break, EST AI468595 was positioned near the 2q33 translocation and the full-length gene and cDNA were isolated. This 57-kb gene,...
