title: No evidence for linkage of autosomal dominant proximal spinal muscular atrophies to chromosome 5q markers.
abstract: Two recent articles have reported the linkage of a gene for recessive spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) on the chromosome region 5q11.2-13.3. Our data show no linkage of the dominantly inherited forms of SMA to this chromosome region.
