  • Title: Human somatostatin receptor genes: localization to human chromosomes 14, 17, and 22 and identification of simple tandem repeat polymorphisms.

    Abstract:
    The genes encoding three different human somatostatin receptor subtypes, designated SSTR1, SSTR2, and SSTR3, were mapped to chromosomes 14, 17, and 22, respectively, by analyzing their segregation in a panel of reduced human-hamster somatic cell hybrids. These assignments were confirmed independently using fluorescence in situ hybridization to metaphase chromosomes and the genes were further localized to 14q13, 17q24, and 22q13.1, respectively. Highly informative simple tandem repeat DNA polymorphisms were identified in SSTR1 and SSTR2.
