## Abstract Cytogenetic and molecular data indicate an involvement of genes mapped to the proximal portion of the short arm of chromosome 7 (7p) in Wilms tumours (WTs). We have analysed 38 WTs using a panel of eight microsatellite markers mapped to proximal 7p. Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in tumou

β¦ Synopsis
We have isolated a human DNA fragment (laboratory acronym G98) that detects related sequences in mammals, chicken and Drosophila DNAs. This sequence has been mapped to human chromosome 7 p14-p15 by in situ hybridization. Probe G98 recognizes an insertion-deletion type polymorphism, with allelic frequencies of about 0.5, which can be detected with at least six different restriction enzymes. A second polymorphism, which can be detected in human DNA digested with TaqI, is in non-complete linkage disequilibrium with the first polymorphism. About 70% of the individuals analysed have been found to be heterozygous at this locus.

A 36 688 bp fragment from the left arm of chromosome IV of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was sequenced. Sequence analysis identified 20 complete non-overlapping open reading frames (ORFs) of at least 100 amino acids. Nine of these correspond to previously identified and sequenced genes: SIT4/PPH1, FAD1,
