title: Genetic linkage of hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy type I (Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease) to markers of chromosomes 1 and 17.
abstract: Hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy type 1 (HMSN I) is an autosomal dominant disorder genetically localized on chromosome 1 in a few families and on chromosome 17 in other families. We analyzed linkage between 6 markers of chromosome 1, 2 markers of chromosome 17, and the HMSN I locus using restriction fragment length polymorphisms and serotyping for the Duffy blood group in 5 families with HMSN I. Only in 1 of these families is linkage present between the disease locus and the loci for Duffy blood group and glucocerebrosidase (chromosome 1 markers). In the 4 other families the HMSN I locus is linked to the chromosome 17 markers pEW301 and pA10-41.
