Chromosomal assignment of a novel human gene D40.

We have previously reported an identification of a novel human cellular factor, D40. Here, we report the chromosomal localization of the gene that encodes D40. Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) was performed to determine the chromosomal region that D40 gene resides. The chromosomes that derived from normal adult male lymphocytes were hybridized with a mixture of cDNA probes that cover the entire coding region of D40. D40 gene mapped to the long arm of chromosome 15q14-15.
