Abstract

The human involucrin gene has been mapped to the region q21-q22 of chromosome 1. Three of six Utah families examined were polymorphic for a PstI fragment of the involucrin gene. In one individual, the variant PstI fragment was found by DNA sequencing to be missing one of the 39 repeats that make up two-thirds of the coding region.
