Abstract excerpt
Friedreich ataxia and ataxia with selective vitamin E deficiency (AVED) share very similar clinical phenotypes. We have mapped the AVED locus to proximal 8q with only three large consanguinous Tunisian families, representing to our knowledge the first use of homozygosity mapping for primary linkage analysis. Subsequently, three additional families showed linkage with the same markers. A maximum lod score of 17.9...
