Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To clinically characterize and map the gene locus in a three-generation family with an X-linked adult-onset distal hereditary motor neuropathy. METHODS: Microsatellite markers spanning the juvenile distal spinal muscular atrophy (DSMAX) locus were genotyped and analyzed using genetic linkage analysis. The promoter, untranslated and coding region of the gap junction beta1 (GJB1) gene was sequenced. Nine...
