Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the long-range limb-specific cis-regulator (ZRS) could cause ectopic shh gene expression and are responsible for preaxial polydactyly (PPD). In this study, we analyzed a large Chinese isolated autosomal dominant PPD pedigree. By fine mapping and haplotype construction, we located the linked region to a 1.7 cM interval between flanking markers D7S2465 and D7S2423 of chromosome 7q36. We directly...
