To the extent that cancer can be caused by somatic mutations) any understanding of carcinogenesis depends upon knowledge of the genes that are mutated. Two large classes of such genes have been discovered: (1) oncogenes, whose existence was revealed by the study of the animal retroviruses, and (2) a
Starting with the male chiasma distribution for chromosome 2, a significantly better fit is obtained to lod scores for the X chromosome if terminalization of distal chiasmata is assumed. The linkage data are not consistent with a uniform distribution of chiasmata, absence of terminalization, or rest
