  TOWNES-BROCKS
  
comment:
Townes-Brocks syndrome is a combination 
  of malformations of the anus, the 
  external ear, the thumbs and the kidney associated with deafness. Transmission 
  
  is autosomal dominant, expression is variable and penetrance is complete. The 
  
  localization of the gene is 16q12.1, as determined from a reciprocal translocation. 
  
  YAC clones, and P1 and PACs which overlap the chromosomal breakage point 
  have been isolated. The project aims to sequence 3 clones (P1 and PAC) 
  localized around the translocation breakpoint.
the rules of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC)):
A = adenine, C = cytosine, G = guanine, 
  T = thymine 
  
  U = uracil, R = G A (purine), Y = T C (pyrimidine) 
  K = G T (keto), M = A C (amino)
S = G C, W = A T 
  B = G T C, D = G A T, H = A C T, V = G C A
  N = A G C T (any)
