Abstract excerpt
Fukuyama-type congenital muscular dystrophy (FCMD), the second most common form of muscular dystrophy in Japan, is an autosomal recessive severe muscular dystrophy associated with brain anomalies. After our initial mapping of the FCMD locus to chromosome 9q31-33, we have further defined the locus within a approximately 5-cM region between D9S127 and D9S2111 and have found linkage disequilibrium between FCMD and...
