✦ Synopsis
The human gene encoding coproporphyrinogen oxidase is the defective gene in hereditary coproporphyria. This gene was mapped to chromosome band 3q12 using fluorescent in situ hybridization. The chromosomal localization was confirmed by cosegregation of the human gene with chromosome 3 in a panel of human/rodent somatic hybrids.

Glycoasparaginase cleaves the N-glycosidic linkage between asparagine and N-acetylglucosamine in the degradation of glycoproteins. In humans, a deficient activity of glycoasparaginase results in accumulation of glycoasparagines, causing the lysosomal storage disease aspartylglycosaminuria. Recombina
We hybridized a human M-BCR DNA probe to the chromosomes of chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes), gorilla (Gorilla gorilla) and orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus) by FISH-technique. The human M-BCR gene was localized to chromosome 23 band ql 1 (23ql 1), which is equivalent to the human chromosome 22 band ql 1 in al
