A cDNA for the neurotransmitter-degrading enzyme monoamine oxidase-A (MAO-A) has been assigned by in situ hybridization to the human X chromosome and subregionally localized to Xp11.23-11.4. As restriction fragments detected by this probe are deleted in some patients with Norrie disease, this assignment provides confirmation of the localization of the disease.
