Abstract excerpt
Huntington disease (HD) is found at exceptionally low frequency in the Finnish population. In this population, linkage disequilibrium was earlier established with markers from the D4S10 and D4S43 loci. We now report a continuation to the restriction fragment length polymorphism haplotype analysis, in combination with a genealogical study of all the Finnish HD families. When the HD pedigrees were systematically...
