Abstract excerpt
Fukuyama type congenital muscular dystrophy (FCMD) is an autosomal recessive muscular dystrophy associated with an anomaly of the brain. We performed genetic linkage analyses using consanguineous FCMD families and localized the FCMD locus to chromosomes 9q31-33. We further defined the locus within a region of 5 cM and also found strong linkage disequilibrium between FCMD and mfd220. We suspect that the FCMD gene...
