Regional chromosomal assignment of carcinoembryonic antigen gene (CEA) to chromosome 19 at band q13.2.
Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), a glycoprotein, is one of the most widely used human tumor markers. It is a member of a gene family comprising about 10 closely related genes and might be found throughout mammalians. Recently, two parts of a genomic DNA for CEA were isolated and sequenced. Using these genomic DNA fragments as probes we assigned the human CEA gene to chromosome 19 at the band q13.2 by in situ hybridization.
