Abstract excerpt
Cleft palate most commonly occurs as a sporadic multifactorial disorder with a clear but difficult to define genetic component. As a semi-dominant disorder, X-linked cleft palate (CPX) provides a useful model to investigate a congenital defect that is little influenced by non-genetic factors. By using an Icelandic kindred, CPX has been localised between DXS1196 and DXS1217 and mapped, in a 3-Mb yeast artificial...
