In a Scottish family in which Huntington's disease (HD) was segregating, recombination was observed between the D4S115/S111 and D4S43/S95 loci, with the HD gene associated with the more proximal D4S43/S95 locus. Analysis of linkage disequilibrium in Scottish families showed significant non-random association between the HD gene and alleles at the D4S95 and D4S98 loci. This adds to previous evidence that the HD locus is not sited at the telomere of chromosome 4.
在一个亨廷顿舞蹈症(HD)呈分离状态的苏格兰家族中,观察到D4S115/S111和D4S43/S95位点之间发生了重组,HD基因与更靠近端粒的D4S43/S95位点相关联。对苏格兰家族连锁不平衡的分析表明,HD基因与D4S95和D4S98位点的等位基因之间存在显著的非随机关联。这进一步证明了HD基因座不在4号染色体的端粒处。
