Abstract excerpt
Prior results from our genomic scan in Pima Indians indicated an obesity locus in a region on chromosome 11q23-24 that was also linked to diabetes. Bivariate linkage analysis for the combined phenotype "diabesity" gave the strongest evidence for linkage (LOD = 5.2). Our aim is to positionally clone the gene(s) responsible for the linkage. Linkage disequilibrium mapping is being used to narrow the chromosomal...
