title: The human neurofilament gene (NEFL) is located on the short arm of chromosome 8.
abstract: We have localized the gene coding for the human neurofilament light chain (NEFL) to chromosome band 8p2.1 by Southern blotting of DNA from hybrid cell panels and in situ hybridization to metaphase chromosomes.
