Abstract excerpt
All human X-linked genes known so far, except for the Xp/Yp pseudoautosomal genes, are conserved as a single linkage group on the murine X chromosome. We show that the interleukin-9 (IL-9) receptor gene (IL9R), which is located within the human Xq/Yq homology region, maps to the murine chromosome 11. The Xq/Yq pseudoautosomal region (Xq PAR) thus represents a second region on the human X chromosome which is not X...
