title: A new HaeIII polymorphism at the D21S13 locus.
abstract: DNA markers in the pericentromeric region of human chromosome 21 have shown linkage to a gene for Familial Alzheimer disease (FAD; St. George Hyslop et al. 1987). The limited informativeness of probes for the loci D21S13 and D21S16 have hindered precise mapping of the FAD locus and analysis of non-allelic heterogeneity in FAD (Schellenberg et al. 1988; St. George-Hyslop et al. 1987). We recently described a new EcoRII polymorphism at the D21S13 locus that was very informative in a large FAD pedigree (Pulst et al. 1990a,b). We now report another polymorphism for the D21S13 locus that further increases the informativeness of this locus.
