Summary
Recently, a unique cellular DNA segment, representing the normal allele counterpart of hepatitis B virus integration site, has been isolated. It has allowed the identification of a cellular domain in which rearrangements occur in approximately 10% of primary liver tumours. We here report on the assignment of this probe, D4S112, by in situ hybridization to band 4q32.1.
