Abstract excerpt
Previously, we showed genetic heterogeneity for linkage between the fra(X) locus and a factor IX DNA RFLP (Brown et al, 1985). When fra(X) families were predivided into two classes, one containing those with non-penetrant (NP) males and one with apparent full penetrance (P), evidence of significant heterogeneity was present. We have now extended this analysis by adding DNA linkage information on 2 additional...
