β¦ Synopsis
Genetic linkage maps are useful tools for defining the location of disease genes. Previously published maps of human chromosome 13 have been incomplete and have had ambiguities of order in the vicinity of the Wilson disease (WND) and retinoblastoma (RB1) genes. We have defined a six-locus map of this region using a large reference pedigree from Venezuela. Our map provides landmarks which will aid in the localization of WND, in determining the extent of deletions in retinoblastoma, and in the mapping of other marker loci.

## BACKGROUND. Frequent allelic losses on the long arm of chromosome 13 in sporadic breast carcinomas suggest that a tumor suppressor gene(s) on 13q is involved in this type of carcinoma. The presence of a familial breast carcinoma susceptibility gene, BRCA2, and the retinoblastoma susceptibility
The EVll DNA-binding protein gene on chromosome 3q26 has been reported to be activated in some leukemia cells with alterations in 3q26. We present an acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) patient with a rare chromosomal translocation, t(3;13)(q26.2;q13-14). By reverse transcription-polymerase chain react
