There is considerable interest in the 11p13 region because of its involvement in Wilms tumor, sporadic aniridia, and other congenital abnormalities. Cloned DNA sequences from this region might be useful in understanding the chromosomal abnormalities which lead to such disorders. However, few such markers exist. Using somatic cell hybrids which contain defined 11p deletions, two cloned DNA sequences which flank a deletion generated in an hepatocellular carcinoma (as a consequence of hepatitis B virus integration) were mapped to 11p13. Thus both ends of the deletion observed in an hepatocellular carcinoma are within 11p13.
