Cloning of ZNF237, a novel member of the MYM gene family that maps to human chromosome 13q11→q12

We have cloned a novel, widely expressed human gene, ZNF237, that shows extensive similarity to the N-terminal region of ZNF 198. Two alternatively spliced regions were identified by RT-PCR; the major splice variant is predicted to encode a 383 amino acid protein that contains a single diverged MYM domain. ZNF237 maps to 13q11 --> q12, immediately proximal to ZNF198. Copyright(C)2000S.KargerAG,Basel.
