Abstract excerpt
Sjögren-Larsson Syndrome (SLS) is characterized by congenital ichthyosis, spastic dior tetraplegia and mental retardation. It is an autosomal recessive trait that is frequent in the northern part of Sweden. Based on linkage analysis and allelic association, the disorder has now been mapped to chromosome 17. Meiotic recombinations suggest that the gene is flanked by D17S805 on the centromeric and D17S783, D17S959,...
