Predictions of a 2-locus model for disease heterogeneity: application to adrenoleukodystrophy.

Abstract excerpt

Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is an X-linked disorder that exhibits a wide range of phenotypic variability within individuals in a single family carrying the mutant allele. A 2-locus epistatic model has been proposed to explain the inheritance of the severe childhood form of ALD and the milder adult-onset adrenomyloneuropathy (AMN). Under a dominant epistatic model, a single M allele at an autosomal modifier locus...
