This report describes the localization of the human cytosolic acetoacetyl-coenzyme A thiolase (ACAT2) gene to human chromosome 6q25.3-q26 using fluorescence in situ hybridization. ACAT2 is involved in steroid biosynthesis; deficiency of this coenzyme results in a phenotype which includes severe mental retardation. 11 refs., 1 fig.
