Abstract excerpt
Crouzon craniofacial dysostosis (CFD) is an autosomal dominant craniofacial disorder characterized by premature craniosynostosis, shallow orbits and hypoplastic maxilla. To map the gene responsible, we have used a mapping strategy of testing for linkage to known developmental genes. Analysis of a large kindred established linkage between CFD and three loci (D10S190, D10S209 and D10S216) that span a 13 cM region...
