WHSC1, a 90 kb SET Domain-Containing Gene, Expressed in Early Development and Homologous to a Drosophila Dysmorphy Gene Maps in the Wolf-Hirschhorn Syndrome Critical Region and is Fused to IgH in t(1;14) Multiple Myeloma

Abstract excerpt

Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome (WHS) is a malformation syndrome associated with a hemizygous deletion of the distal short arm of chromosome 4 (4p16.3). The smallest region of overlap between WHS patients, the WHS critical region, has been confined to 165 kb, of which the complete sequence is known. We have identified and studied a 90 kb gene, designated as WHSC1 , mapping to the 165 kb WHS critical region. This 25 exon...
