title: A partial BRCA1 sequence homology mapping to 4q28.
abstract: Using a BRCA1 cDNA probe in Southern analysis, we detected a sequence of 348 bp on 4q28 that is homologous to the 3' end of BRCA1. A 28-kb sequence contig has been assembled spanning the homologous region, which we designated BRCA1-h. An open reading frame was identified encoding a sequence of 82 amino acids; 22 of the last 23 amino acids are identical to the last 23 residues of BRCA1. BLAST-searches, RT-PCR and RACE-experiments have been unable to provide evidence that BRCA1-h is part of an expressed gene.
