✦ Synopsis

The growth hormone-releasing factor (GHRF) gene has been mapped by different authors alternatively at 20p12 and 20q11.2. In situ hybridization of the relevant probe to metaphases of two patients with different translocations involving 20q has allowed us to map it definitively at 20q11.2.
