Abstract
The human platelet-derived growth factor A-chain (PDGFA) locus was mapped by in situ hybridization. By use of human cDNA probes encoding the PDGF A-chain precursor polypeptide the gene was assigned to the proximal long arm of chromosome 7, band q11.23. Of 76 cells with silver grains on chromosome 7, 28% had label over this band. Our assignment represents a confirmation and further sublocalization of the PDGFA locus. The location correlates with specific chromosomal abnormalities associated with certain human developmental malformations and neoplasms.Entities:
