β¦ Synopsis
K.Y., N.N.), Japan A detailed cytogenetic map was constructed around the chromosomal breakpoint of t(8 I 3) observed in a patient with multiple exostores. The order of seven loci defined by cosmid clones mapped to 8q23 was determined by means of two-color fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) on elongated prophase chromosomes, and localizations of these markers relative to the breakpoint were examined. m e results indicated that loci defined by cC18-553 and cC18-1512 flank the breakpoint. By pulsed-field gel electrophoresis of DNA digested with BssHII and Southern hybridization with CC 18-I5 12, DNA from the patient showed a band which was not observed in DNA isolated from either parent. As the normal size of this BssHll fragment is 600 kb, the chromosomal breakpoint probably lies leu than 600 kb away from cC18-I5 12. Genes Chrom Cancer 957-61 ( 1994). 0 I994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

Recently, we identified the PLAG1 gene as the target gene in pleomorphic adenomas with chromosome abnormalities involving 8q12. The majority of breakpoints were shown to reside within the 5Π noncoding region of the gene. We now report three pleomorphic adenomas with breakpoints located distal to PLA
