Abstract excerpt
Velo-cardio-facial syndrome (VCFS) is a common genetic disorder among individuals with cleft palate and is associated with hemizygous deletions in human chromosome 22q11. Toward the molecular definition of the deletions, we constructed a physical map of 22q11 in the form of overlapping YACs. The physical map covers > 9 cM of genetic distance, estimated to span 5 Mb of DNA, and contains a total of 64 markers....
