Abstract excerpt
Congenital recessive ichthyoses represent a vast and markedly heterogeneous group of diseases that have been mapped to at least seven distinct chromosomal loci. In this study, we ascertained two consanguineous families presenting with congenital ichthyosis. Using homozygosity mapping, we identified a 6.5 cM homozygous region on 12p11.2-q13 shared by all affected individuals. Multipoint logarithm of odds ratio...
