title: A centromere-based linkage group on the long arm of human chromosome 17.
abstract: A genetic linkage group on the long arm of chromosome 17 is reported. A maximum likelihood of theta = 0.20 between the centromere-based locus D17Z1 and COL1A1 has been found, as well as a theta = 0.10 between COL1A1 and GH1. The most likely order of the three loci is D17Z1-COL1A1-GH1.
