Abstract excerpt
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4A (CMT4A) is a severe, autosomal recessive peripheral neuropathy linked to chromosome 8q13-q21. We have previously constructed a YAC contig across the CMT4A region and narrowed the disease-flanking interval to approximately three megabases. Subsequently, we constructed a PAC/BAC contig made of 44 clones and mapped 44 new and 30 previous STSs, ESTs, and polymorphic makers to the...
