For nearly a decade since the mapping of the multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) locus to 11q13 and the suggestion that it is a tumour suppressor gene, efforts have been made to identify the gene responsible for this familial cancer syndrome. Recently, we have identified the MEN1 gene by the positional cloning approach. This effort involved construction of a 2.8-Mb physical map (D11S480-D11S913) based...
