PG - 119-26 AB - A recurrent reciprocal chromosomal translocation, t(12;14)(q15;q24) is frequently observed in uterine leiomyoma. Chromosome 12 breakpoints have been shown to occur in a region of approximately 150 kb that contains the gene for a high mobility group protein (HMGI-C). The breakpoint region on chromosome 14 has not been precisely defined. We have generated a contig of overlapping yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) clones approximately 3 Mb in size. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis showed that this contig spanned the t(12;14) breakpoints in three uterine leiomyomas and that the breakpoints in these tumors occurred within a 1 Mb region. A 30 kb cosmid spanning one of the breakpoints was isolated to set the stage for identifying regions on chromosome 14 that may cause this region to be a preferential site for chromosomal translocation.
