Forty-four human DNA recombinants isolated from a HRAS1-selected chromosome-mediated gene transformant map exclusively to chromosome 11, with several sublocalizing to the Wilms tumor region at 11p13.
We have now looked for deletion or rearrangement of c-Ha-ras1 in the DNA from four subjects with del(11p13)-associated predisposition to Wilms' tumour, aniridia, genitourinary abnormalities and mental retardation.
