title: A second generation linkage map of the human genome based on highly informative microsatellite loci.
abstract: The use of simple sequence repeats as polymorphic genetic markers has considerably facilitated the construction of reference maps of the human chromosomes and mapping of Mendelian genetic diseases. These markers display major advantages over other systems and will be widely used for linkage mapping purposes in the forthcoming years.
