Summary
Using in situ hybridization, we have localized the human putative oncogene GLI to chromosome subbands 12q13.3–14.1. The precise genomic site is of interest since the region 12q13–15 has been found to be consistently rearranged in neoplasia-associated chromosome abnormalities in lipomas, myxoid liposarcomas, uterine leiomyomas, and pleomorphic adenomas of the salivary gland.
