- FIGURE 37.1-5. (A) Schematic diagram illustrating the pericentromeric
- inversion of chromosome 11 deduced to have caused the observed
- rearrangement involving the PTH gene and the PRAD1 gene in a subset of
- parathyroid adenomas. The tumor's other copy of chromosome 11, which
- contains an intact PTH gene, is not shown. (B) Diagram of the directly
- observed molecular structure of the PTH/PRAD1 DNA rearrangement in a
- subset of parathyroid adenomas and its functional consequences. X
- represents the chromosome breakpoint between the PTH gene regulatory
- region plus PTH noncoding exon 1 (solid light vertical bar) and part
- of its first intron, from 11p15 (left), and the intact promoter and
- five exons of the PRAD1 gene from 11q13. (Arnold A. Molecular genetics
