title: Mapping of the immune interferon gamma gene (IFNG) to chromosome band 12q14 by fluorescence in situ hybridization.
abstract: The human immune interferon gamma gene (IFNG) was localized to chromosome band 12q14 by fluorescence in situ hybridization. This correction of a previous localization resolves the discrepancy between the syntenic maps of human chromosome 12 and mouse chromosome 10 and facilitates linkage analysis and identification of gene interactions near this region of chromosome 12 as well as further genetic studies of interferon-gamma immune-associated diseases.
