Abstract excerpt
The gene responsible for neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), one of the more common inherited human disorders, was identified recently, and segments of it were cloned. Two translocation breakpoints that interrupt the NF1 gene in NF1 patients flank a 60-kb segment of DNA that contains the EV12A locus (previously reported as the EV12 locus), the human homolog of a mouse gene, Evi-2A, implicated in retrovirus-induced...
