✦ Synopsis
The gene for human Elk-1, an Ets-related transcription factor, has previously been localized to a region that lies on the short arm of chromosome X and that is involved in specific chromosomal translocations associated with synovial sarcoma and renal adenocarcinomas. We have used fluorescence in situ hybridization and a panel of tumor-derived somatic cell hybrids to refine the localization of Elk-1, in particular with regard to the rearrangements in these tumors. Elk-1 has been assigned to Xp11.2-p11.4, distal to the OATL1 region.

Radiation-induced acute myeloid leukemias (AMLs) in the mouse are characterized by chromosome 2 deletions. Previous studies showed that a minimal deleted region (mdr) of ϳ6.5 cM is lost from one homologue in chromosome 2-deleted AMLs. An AML tumor suppressor gene is proposed to map within this mdr.
