Abstract excerpt
Primary microcephaly has been mapped to five loci on different chromosomes. We present here the fine mapping of one of the loci, MCPH5, to a region of only 0.58 Mb located at the 1q31.3-1q32.1 junction. A genome scan was performed on five families from the Netherlands and Jordania, with 14 patients affected by microcephaly. A maximum LOD score of 4.78 was found for marker D1S1660 at the MCPH5 locus. Haplotype...
