Abstract excerpt
Linkage data using the markers F9 (factor IX), DXS105 (cX55.7), DXS98 (4D-8), DXS52 (St14), DXS15 (DX13), and DXS134 (cpX67) are presented from 26 pedigrees segregating with fragile X (fra[X]) syndrome. Cytogenetic and DNA data were combined in 2-point linkage analysis for the estimation of lod scores and carrier probabilities in potential carriers. Recombination fractions (theta) corresponding to the maximum lod...
