Chromosomal localization of the human ciliary neurotrophic factor gene (CNTF) to 11q12 by fluorescence in situ hybridization

Abstract
The human gene for ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) was previously assigned to chromosome 11 by analysis of a panel of somatic cell hybrids. We isolated cosmid clones containing the CNTF gene from an arrayed-chromosome specifïc library and used fluorescent in situ hybridization to regionally localize the human CNTF gene on chromosome 11. The gene maps at an FLpter of 0.46, corresponding to a cytogenetic band position of 11q12.2.
