Abstract excerpt
The gene responsible for facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD), an autosomal dominant neuromuscular condition, has been mapped to chromosome 4. Until recently, the two closest available markers were D4S139 and D4S163 but a new marker (p13E-11) which recognizes de novo rearrangements in isolated cases of FSHD characterized by shorter EcoRI fragments has been now identified. Linkage analysis in FSHD...
