Abstract excerpt
Schwartz-Jampel syndrome (SJS), or chondrodystrophic myotonia, is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by generalized myotonia resulting in a particular, recognizable facies and osteoarticular abnormalities. Some of us have recently shown genetic linkage of SJS to a locus on 1p34-p36.1 in five families. Here, we show by homozygosity mapping and segregation analysis that eight new families are most...
