Abstract excerpt
Autoimmune-polyendocrinopathy-candidiasis-ectodermal dystrophy (APECED, PGD type I) is an autosomal recessive disease enriched in the Finnish population. Previously, we have assigned APECED to a 2.6-cM interval on chromosome 21q22.3 by linkage analysis in 14 Finnish families. This subtelomeric region of 21q22.3 seems to have sequence features resulting in its under-representation in large insert genomic...
