Abstract excerpt
We have conducted a genome-wide scan on a pedigree containing 372 adult members, of whom 49 have PDB. In the present study, we report linkage of a large pedigree to the PDB3 region on chromosome 5q35-qter with a peak multipoint LOD score of 6.77. Sequestosome 1 (SQSTM/p62) has been identified as the causative PDB gene in this region. Six sequestosome 1 mutations have been described to date. Four mutations have...
