✦ Synopsis

We have analyzed the footprints left by a single Ac transposable element during its intragenic transposition to different positions in the maize P gene. One site appears to have been visited twice by transposons, indicating that it may be an insertion hot spot. Implications of this finding for the origin of the P-vv allele are discussed. Analysis of transposon footprints may prove generally useful for establishing pedigree relationships among gene alleles.

## Abstract Hepatoblastomas generally appear in children aged 2 or 3 years old and arise from apparently normal, noncirrhotic liver. To elucidate any possible role of p53 mutations in their genesis, we amplified and sequenced exons 5 to 8 of the p53 gene in 10 cases of hepatoblastoma. Somatic mutat

Several different mutations in the KCNQ4 K+ channel gene are responsible for autosomal dominant nonsyndromic hearing impairment (DFNA2). Here we describe two additional families originating from Europe and Japan with a KCNQ4 missense mutation (W276S) that was previously found in one European family.
