PGL1, a gene responsible for hereditary paragangliomas of the head and neck, recently was mapped to a 2-cM interval on chromosome 11q22-q23, by linkage and haplotype-sharing analysis of a large multibranch Dutch family. We determined the disease-linked haplotype, as defined by 13 markers encompassing a large interval on 11q21-q23, in 10 additional families ascertained from the same geographical locale. Alleles...
