Abstract excerpt
Emerging evidence suggests that Fgf8, a recently identified member of the fibroblast growth factor family, plays an important role in outgrowth and patterning of the face, limbs, and central nervous system of the vertebrate embryo. We report the mapping of FGF8 to human chromosome 10q25-q26, using Southern blot analyses of genomic DNAs from rodent/human somatic cell hybrid lines. Apert, Crouzon, Jackson-Weiss,...
