The human metallothionein gene complex on chromosome 16 has been remapped to 16q13 using high-resolution in situ hybridization. The complex is not disrupted by the rearrangement breakpoint on the long arm of chromosome 16 in patients with myelomonocytic leukemia with abnormal eosinophils, as had been previously reported. The locus order on 16q is cen-MT-FRA16B-D16S4-inversion breakpoint-HP-tel.
利用高分辨率原位杂交技术,已将位于16号染色体上的人类金属硫蛋白基因复合体重新定位到16q13。正如之前所报道的,在伴有异常嗜酸性粒细胞的骨髓单核细胞白血病患者中,该复合体并未因16号染色体长臂上的重排断点而受到破坏。16q上的基因座顺序为着丝粒-金属硫蛋白-FRA16B-D16S4-倒位断点-组蛋白H4-端粒。
