Localization of DNA probes with tight linkage to the cystic fibrosis locus by in situ hybridization using fibroblasts with a 7q22 deletion.

abstract：:In this paper observations are summarized and speculations discussed, and it is suggested that some loci on the distal short arm of the X chromosome (Xp) are not randomly inactivated in the female, because they are within the proximal part of the pairing segment between Xp and Yp. This peculiarity of gene expression m...
