Abstract excerpt
We performed linkage and locus heterogeneity analyses of Waardenburg syndrome (WS) types 1 and 2 using 9 DNA markers from 2q35-q37, including two highly polymorphic microsatellites very closely linked to the PAX3 candidate gene. None of 5 WS type 2 (WS2) families showed linkage to the PAX3 candidate region. We localized the marker D2S102 to less than 1 cM from PAX3 (lod = 33.7, theta = 0), but a complete absence...
