Abstract excerpt
Three polymorphic loci APOC2, CKMM and p134C were used to haplotype 15 Finnish dystrophia myotonica (DM) families representing about one third of all DM patients in this isolated population. Compound APOC2 and CKMM haplotypes reveal linkage disequilibrium: 90% of DM chromosomes co-occur with the haplotypes that occur in 31% of normal chromosomes only. The same disequilibrium is present when only polymorphisms...
