## Abstract Oviductins are highβmolecularβweight glycoproteins specifically secreted by the oviduct. These proteins bind to the zona pellucida of the ovulated oocyte and remain associated with the embryo during its transit in the oviduct. They may be involved in fertilization and early embryonic de

## Abstract Chromosomal region 11p15.5 shows frequent maternal allelic loss in embryonal tumors, including rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), Wilms' tumor (WT) and hepatoblastoma (HB), consistent with the presence of at least one tumor suppressor gene in this region, which should be paternally imprinted, __i.
A new, highly polymorphic, region consisting of variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) is described that occurs within intron 12 of the COLlA2 gene. This VNTR consists of the trinucleotide ACT repeated from 6 to 12 times. Of the six alleles so far detected four are common in the three major races,
