✦ Synopsis


The locus for the erthyroid transcription factor, GATA1, has been positioned in the small interval between DXS255 and TIMP on the proximal short arm of the human X Chromosome (Chr) by use of a partial human cDNA clone and a well-characterized somatic cell hybrid panel. Analysis of selected recombinants from 108 Mus musculus x Mus spretus backcross progeny with the same clone confirmed that the homologous murine locus (Gf-1) lies between Otc and the centromere of the mouse X Chr. These data imply that a partial inversion of gene order has occurred within the conserved segment that represents Xp21.1-Xp11.23 in human (CYBB-GATA1) and the proximal 6 cM of the mouse X Chr (Gf-1-Timp). Furthermore, they indicate that the mouse mutant scurfy and the human genetic disorder Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome, which have been mapped to the same regions as GATA1/Gf-1 in both species, may indeed be homologous disorders.

## Abstract Cancer/testis (CT) genes are normally expressed in germ cells only, yet are reactivated and expressed in some tumors. Of the approximately 40 CT genes or gene families identified to date, 20 are on the X chromosome and are present as multigene families, many with highly conserved member
