Familial paragangliomas (PGL), or glomus tumors, are slow-growing, highly vascular, generally benign neoplasms usually of the head and neck that arise from neural crest cells. This rare autosomal-dominant disorder is highly penetrant and influenced by genomic imprinting through paternal transmission
Using in situ hybridisation, we have mapped APOA2 to the 1q21-1q23 region of chromosome 1. DNA hybridisation to somatic cell hybrids made from cells carrying a balanced translocation between X and 1 confirms the localisation as proximal to 1q23. This was further confirmed by the presence of two poly
