Abstract excerpt
Linkage disequilibrium (LD), detectable with microsatellites in disease alleles over wide genetic intervals in population isolates, has facilitated mapping and positional cloning of numerous disease genes. We, among others, have shown that the LD intervals reach up to 1 Mb in general alleles of young subisolates, and that this feature most probably offers an avenue for the initial locus positioning for complex...
