Regional chromosomal localisation of APOA2 to 1q21-1q23.
Using in situ hybridisation, we have mapped APOA2 to the 1q21-1q23 region of chromosome 1. DNA hybridisation to somatic cell hybrids made from cells carrying a balanced translocation between X and 1 confirms the localisation as proximal to 1q23. This was further confirmed by the presence of two polymorphic alleles in a cell line carrying a deletion of 1q25-1q32.
