title: [Towards cloning the gene responsible for myotonic dystrophy].
abstract: For the purpose of cloning the gene of myotonic dystrophy (DM) using the technique of reverse genetics, we have introduced new methods such as microdissection, a YAC library and a Not I linking library and cloned many DNA fragments derived from the region of 19q13.2. Then we have assigned these to chromosome 19 by linkage map (CEPH families and linkage disequilibrium) and physical map (PFGE and in situ hybridization). Here we have described these methods.
