Abstract excerpt
Two families in which the gene for the common, autosomal dominant form of polycystic kidney disease (PKD1) was present were examined using flanking DNA markers. The 5'HVR probe detects a linked DNA marker 8 map units distal to the PKD1 gene in males and 1 unit distal to the PKD1 gene in females. The 24-1 probe detects another linked DNA marker 4 map units proximal to the PKD1 gene in males and 0.5 map units...
