## Abstract A subgroup of benign pleomorphic adenomas of the salivary glands is characterized by translocations, or on rare occasions deletions, with breakpoints at 3p2I. We have applied restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis to assess the frequency of allelic losses at four diffe

✦ Synopsis
A subgroup of pleomorphic adenomas of the salivary glands is characterized by translocations involving chromosome 8, with consistent breakpoints at 8q 12. As part of a positional cloning effort to isolate the gene(s) affected by these translocations we now report the mapping of the 8q I 2 breakpoint in two primary pleomorphic adenomas with the recurrent t(3;8)(p2I ;q 12). Yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) clones corresponding to eight different loci in 8ql1-12 were isolated and mapped by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). The t(3;8) breakpoint was mapped within a I Mb region flanked by MOS proximally and by the genetic marker D8S I66 distally. One YAC within this region was shown to span the t(3;8) breakpoint in two tumors. This YAC will provide an excellent tool for isolating the gene@) at the breakpoint(@ in adenomas with t(3;8).
