Abstract excerpt
Pycnodysostosis (PKND) is a rare, autosomal recessive skeletal dysplasia, which has been mapped previously to a 4-cM interval between D1S442 to D1S305 at chromosome 1q21. Only D1S498 did not recombine with the disease locus in a large, consanguineous Arab family with PKND. In the present studies, five new Généthon markers (D1S2343, D1S2344, D1S2345, D1S2346, and D1S2347) were tested against DNA from this family...
