Abstract excerpt
Diastrophic dysplasia (DTD) is an autosomal recessive osteochondrodysplasia. Patients have short-limbed short stature and suffer from generalized joint dysplasia. We have recently mapped DTD to the distal long arm of chromosome 5. Here we report the localization of DTD in relation to 16 polymorphic markers on distal 5q. No recombinations occurred with two loci, D5S72 and D5S66. One presumptive candidate gene,...
