Abstract excerpt
Type II autosomal dominant osteopetrosis (ADO II) is characterized by an increased bone mass that contrasts with the high frequency of fractures. Linkage analysis performed in an extensive Danish family recently provided evidence for the mapping of an ADO II gene to an 8.5-cM region in chromosome 1p21 between microsatellite markers D1S486 and D1S2792. We recruited, phenotyped, and haplotyped 4F catheter ADO II...
