Abstract excerpt
Molecular genetic analysis in a Belgian family with distal hereditary motor neuropathy type II (distal HMN II), demonstrated significant linkage of markers located at chromosome 12q24. The candidate region, extending from D12S86 to D12S340, includes the gene encoding pancreatic phospholipase A2 (PPLA2). PPLA2 is a candidate gene for distal HMN II in this family since it is expressed in the peripheral nervous...
