X-linked Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. A linkage study in a large family by using 12 probes of the pericentromeric region.
Linkage analysis was performed on 41 subjects belonging to a large family with a recurrence of X-linked Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMTX), by using 12 restriction fragment length polymorphism markers mapping in p11-q13. The results are in agreement with previous linkage data. Three new markers that are potentially useful for genetic analysis of CMTX families are described. A more precise estimate of the localization of the disease locus was attempted by multipoint linkage analysis.
