Localisation of the gene encoding diacylglycerol kinase 3 (DAGK3) to human chromosome 3q27-28 and mouse chromosome 16

The gene encoding a 90 kDa diacylglycerol kinase protein, DAGK3, that is predominately expressed in the retina, was localised by fluorescence in situ hybridisation to human chromosome 3q27-28. This was subsequently confirmed by mapping of its mouse homologue to chromosome 16, a region syntenic to this part of human chromosome 3. No retinopathies have so far been assigned to this region.
