Regional asssignments of the loci AK3, ACONS, and ASS on human chromosome 9.

Experiments are described in which human cells carrying balanced reciprocal translocations involving four different regions of chromosome 9 were fused with a Chinese hamster cell line and the resulting hybrids used to obtain subchromosomal assignments of the loci ASS, AK3, and ACONS. ASS was localized on the distal portion of the long arm of chromosome 9, in the region 9q34 leads to 9qter, and AK3 and ACONS on the short arm, in the region 9pter leads to 9p13.
