✦ Synopsis


The NMEl gene, localized to human chromosome I 7 at q22, shows reduced expression in tumors of high metastatic potential. A homologous gene, N M U , with similar reduced expression in breast carcinoma, has recently been reported. W e have isolated and characterized five yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) clones and three cosmid clones that contain both genes, demonstrating that the NMEZ gene is also located on chromosome I 7 and is separated by not more than I8 kb from the NME / gene. The two putative tumor suppressor genes, encoding the two polypeptide chains of nucleoside diphosphate (NDP) kinase, are thus quite close to each other on chromosome 17, indicating that they may well have arisen by a tandem duplication. Both genes now appear to be excluded as candidates for the early-onset breast cancer (BRCAI) locus. Genes Chrom Cancer 6245-248

## Abstract We have constructed a 1.4‐Mb P1 artificial chromosome/bacterial artificial chromosome (PAC/BAC) contig spanning the 17q breakpoint of a constitutional translocation t(1;17)(p36.2;q11.2) in a patient with neuroblastoma. Three 17q breakpoint‐overlapping cosmids were identified and sequenc
