title: Localization of human cardiac beta-myosin heavy chain gene (MYH7) to chromosome 14q12 by in situ hybridization.
abstract: The genes coding for each human cardiac myosin heavy chain (alpha-MHC and beta-MHC, MYH6 and MYH7, respectively) are tightly linked and the alpha-MHC gene has been assigned to chromosome 14. In order to provide a more precise regional localization, in situ hybridization experiments were carried out using a 3H-labeled probe derived from a beta-MHC genomic clone. The results demonstrated that the human cardiac MHC genes are located within the q12 band of chromosome 14.
