Abstract excerpt
Two percent of the residents of Bengkala, Bali, have profound, congenital, neurosensory, nonsyndromal deafness due to an autosomal recessive mutation at the DFNB3 locus. We have employed a direct genome-wide disequilibrium search strategy, allele-frequency-dependent homozygosity mapping (AHM), and an analysis of historical recombinants to map DFNB3 and position the locus relative to flanking markers. DFNB3 maps...
