title: [Exclusive mapping on polydactyly with markers on chromosome 7 and 2 in a Chinese kindred].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  This study was aimed at mapping polydactyly related genes in a Chinese kindred.
  
  
  METHODS
  Linkage analysis was performed using 7 markers on chromosome 7 and 1 marker on chromosome 2.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Pairwise linkage analysis showed no linkage between the markers and polydactyly related gene in the kindred.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The polydactyly related gene in this kindred may be located on a new locus.
