✦ Synopsis
In humans, the genes encoding tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), insulin and insulin‐like growth factor II (IGF‐II) form an extremely tight linkage group on chromosome 11p15. Characterisation of the homologous genomic region of a teleost, the barramundi Lates calcarifer, revealed tight linkage of the TH and IGF‐II genes, and the absence of the gene encoding insulin.
