title: The human paired domain gene PAX7 (Hup1) maps to chromosome 1p35-1p36.2.
abstract: The human PAX7 gene encodes a protein containing a domain homologous to the Drosophila paired box first described in three segmentation genes. In addition to the paired box, the gene contains the conserved octapeptide and a paired-type homeobox. Two of the five known human PAX genes have been implicated in human disorders so far. Here we have used a somatic cell hybrid panel to localize PAX7 to human chromosome 1. In situ hybridization shows that PAX7 is confined to the short arm of chromosome 1 at 1p35-1p36.2.
