[Localization of the gene for 4 hereditary multiple exostoses families].
We investigated 11 families with hereditary multiple exostoses (EXT) by linkage analysis using 8 short-tandem-repeat (CA)n polymorphic markers on chromosomes 8, 11 and 19. The Lod score in four families indicated that the gene responsible for EXT is located in the pericentromeric region of chromosome 11.
