A composite skin graft is sometime used, consisting of combinations of skin and fat, skin and cartilage, or dermis and fat. Composite grafts are used where three-dimensional reconstruction is necessary. For example, a wedge of ear containing skin and cartilage can be used to repair the nose.
The human insulin gene has been previously localized to chromosome 11. We have analyzed the human ONA sequences present in a human-mouse somatic cell hybrid line possessing a translocation involving human chromosomes 11 and X. These data indicate that the human insulin gene is located on the short arm of chromosome 11 in the region p13âpter. The human insulin gene has been previously localized to chromosome 11.

Insulin is a hormone produced by the beta cells of the pancreas that permits glucose to enter cells and helps the body use glucose for energy. Insulin controls the amount of glucose in the blood. People with Type 1 diabetes must use manufactured insulin, usually in an injectable form (such as an insulin pen or an insulin pump), to replace the natural insulin that is no longer produced by their body.
