Regional mapping of the gene coding for enolase-2 on human chromosome 12. 1982

M L Law, and F T Kao

Enolase-2 (ENO2), previously termed 14-3-2 protein, is an isozyme of enolase that is enriched in neuronal tissue. The gene coding for ENO2 was previously assigned to human chromosome 12. The present study presents data for a regional mapping of gene ENO2 using cell hybrids containing various deletions of human chromosome 12. These deletions were produced by treatment with chromosome-breaking agents. Cytogenetic analysis has allowed assignment of ENO2 to the short arm of chromosome 12, in the region of pter-p1205. This assignment is consistent with the segregation pattern of the 93 hybrid clones analysed. The segregation pattern has also established the linear order of 6 genes on chromosome 12:pter-TPI-GAPD-LDHB-ENO2-centromere-SHMT-PEPB-qter. Estimation of the relative distances between the 6 genes on chromosome 12 has been made by a statistical mapping analysis of the segregation data of the hybrid clones. A set of deletion hybrids containing various combinations of these 6 markers has been established for a rapid regional mapping of genes in one of these regions on chromosome 12.

D009447	Neuroblastoma	A common neoplasm of early childhood arising from neural crest cells in the sympathetic nervous system, and characterized by diverse clinical behavior, ranging from spontaneous remission to rapid metastatic progression and death. This tumor is the most common intraabdominal malignancy of childhood, but it may also arise from thorax, neck, or rarely occur in the central nervous system. Histologic features include uniform round cells with hyperchromatic nuclei arranged in nests and separated by fibrovascular septa. Neuroblastomas may be associated with the opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome.
