>I am looking for geneticists interested in cardiac malformations in man.
>We have cloned a couple of NKX homeobox genes by PCR from a newborn heart.
>Currently we are trying to clone the complete cDNAs and as a next step we
>want to map the chromosomal loci. I would be glad to get into contact with
>researchers who currently map loci for cardiac malformations. What is the
>state of the art of chromosomal mapping: FISH or screening of hamster/man
>cell hybrids?
