title: In situ hybridisation localises the gene for the major intrinsic protein of eye lens fibre cell membranes to human chromosome 12q14.
abstract: The gene encoding the major intrinsic protein (MIP) of eye lens fibre cell membranes has been localised to human chromosome 12q14 by in situ hybridisation of a cDNA for rat MIP to G-banded metaphase chromosomes. The human MIP gene maps within a conserved region of synteny with mouse Chromosome 10.
