Abstract excerpt
Familial multiple endocrine neoplasia, type 1 (FMEN1), is an autosomal dominant trait generated by hyperfunction of various endocrine glands. The gene for MEN1 has been mapped to chromosome 11q13 by genetic linkage and deletion mapping in tumors. Eight Finnish families, including 46 individuals carrying the risk haplotype, have been typed for four polymorphic microsatellite DNA markers spanning the MEN1...
