title: Assignment of the human prosaposin gene (PSAP) to 10q22.1 by fluorescence in situ hybridization. Giraffidae, okapi (Okapiajohnstoni), and giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis): evidence for ancestral telomeres at the okapi polymorphic rob (4;26) fusion site.
abstract: The human prosaposin gene (PSAP) was previously localized to 10q21-->q22 by isotopic in situ hybridization using a human prosaposin cDNA as a probe. The present study, using fluorescence in situ hybridization with a mouse genomic prosaposin fragment as probe, confirms the localization of PSAP and precisely maps it to band 10q22.1.
