Abstract excerpt
The gene for one form of autosomal dominant spinal cerebellar ataxia (SCA1), is mapped by linkage to chromosome 6p, very close to the microsatellite locus D6S89. Eight large Italian kindreds segregating SCA1, as defined by very close linkage to D6S89, were genotyped with five microsatellite markers linked closely to D6S89, all mapping within a 6 cM interval on 6p. Multipoint linkage analysis and haplotypes from...
