title: Mapping of the Darier's disease gene by serogenetic markers: results in two large British kindreds.
abstract: The authors have carried out genetic linkage studies in 57 subjects from two large kindreds of Darier's disease, using a range of serological and biochemical polymorphisms of known chromosomal location. In these kindreds, about 7% of the genome has been excluded for close linkage to the Darier's disease gene. However, one family showed positive lod scores for linkage with the Duffy blood locus (1p13); lod scores were negative in the other family, but in the combined families the total score for this marker was still positive and does not completely exclude linkage.
