Abstract excerpt
The gene for variegate porphyria (VP), an autosomal dominant disease with a high prevalance in South Africa, evidently due to a founder effect, was previously mapped to chromosome 14q32. In the current study this localization was evaluated by linkage and haplotype analyses using microsatellite markers spanning a region of more than 20 cM on chromosome 14q32. In many recent studies linkage disequilibrium between...
