Abstract excerpt
Genotype analysis by using the p13E-11 probe and other 4q35 polymorphic markers was performed in 122 Italian facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy families and 230 normal controls. EcoRI-BlnI double digestion was routinely used to avoid the interference of small EcoRI fragments of 10qter origin that were found in 15% of the controls. An EcoRI fragment ranging between 10 and 28 kb that was resistant to BlnI...
