Two families with Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EMD) have been studied with DNA markers mapping to Xq27.3----qter. No recombination was observed in 11 phase known meioses informative for the factor VIII gene (F8C) and eight phase known meioses informative for DXS15 (DX13), giving maximum lod scores of 3.50 and 2.50 respectively at a recombination fraction of zero. DXS52 (St14) showed one recombinant in 12 phase known meioses giving a maximum lod score of 2.62 at a recombination fraction of 0.07. These results map EMD to the distal end of the long arm of the X chromosome and are an important step in the development of tests for carrier detection and prenatal diagnosis.
对两个患有Emery-Dreifuss肌营养不良症(EMD)的家族进行了研究,使用了定位到Xq27.3----qter的DNA标记。在11个对因子VIII基因(F8C)信息丰富的已知相减数分裂中未观察到重组,在8个对DXS15(DX13)信息丰富的已知相减数分裂中也未观察到重组,在重组率为零时,最大lod分数分别为3.50和2.50。DXS52(St14)在12个已知相减数分裂中显示出1个重组体,在重组率为0.07时,最大lod分数为2.62。这些结果将EMD定位到X染色体长臂的远端,是开发携带者检测和产前诊断测试的重要一步。
