Abstract excerpt
Genetic studies as well as in situ hybridisation data have strongly demonstrated that the genes coding for apoprotein(a) and plasminogen are linked and localised to chromosome 6 at band 6q26-27. We describe in this report the presence of a recombination event in a region of approximately 50 kb of DNA separating the two genes. The recombination was found in an Italian family, in which a mutation affecting both...
