Identification of a new member (ZNF183) of the Ring finger gene family in Xq24-25.

Four genes were mapped to the Xq24-25 region by searching the EST and the non-redundant database with short tracts of genomic sequences. These were random STSs present in the STS database or sequences derived from CpG islands (EagI-based STSs). One of the four matches corresponded to the full length transcript from the intronless glutamate dehydrogenase gene.
