The gene for human fibroblast interferon (IFB) maps to 9p21
Human Genetics
|January 1, 1984
Abstract:
The interferons have been classified into alpha, beta, and gamma (leukocyte, fibroblast, and immune). We used a human genomic clone for beta 1 interferon IFB to determine the gene copy number in two patients with unbalanced rearrangements of 9p. Our results provide evidence for regional assignment of this gene to 9p21.
