Deletions of the long arm of chromosome 5 with common overlapping segment 5q31.1 are among the most frequent cytogenetic aberrations in myelodysplastic syndromes and acute myeloid leukemias (MDS/AML). We have constructed a YAC-based physical map of the 5q31.1 critical locus and localized the transcriptional transactivator Smad5 adjacent to loci showing consistent loss of heterozygosity in these disorders. Smad5...
