Fine mapping of human HOX gene clusters

Cytogenet Cell Genet. 1996;73(1-2):114-5. doi: 10.1159/000134320.

Abstract

The chromosome localization of human HOX gene clusters has been reinvestigated by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Three loci were precisely localized in 7p15.3 (HOXA@), 17q21.3 (HOXB@) and 12q13.3 (HOXC@). The localization of HOXD@ was confirmed to 2q31.
