| Abstract: | The HST/FGFK gene, a member of the fibroblast growth factor gene family and a protooncogene, is localized on chromosomal band 11q13. Genes in this region are frequently involved in hematopoietic and solid tumors. Here we show that the HST gene lies telomeric to the BCL1 gene, the t(11;14)(q13;q32) breakpoint, and the FRA11A rare fragile site. |
