Abstract excerpt
We report the results of a genomewide scan using homozygosity mapping to identify genes causing Fanconi anemia, a genetically heterogeneous recessive disorder. By studying 23 inbred families, we detected linkage to a locus causing Fanconi anemia near marker D16S520 (16q24.3). Although -65% of our families displayed clear linkage to D16S520, we found strong evidence (P = .0013) of genetic heterogeneity. This...
