Abstract: | Evaluation of a family in which electrophoretic variants of the eznyme galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase (GALT) and 9qh variants occur demonstrates close linkage between these two traits: lod score of 3.67 at theta = 0. Taken with information indicating GALT is on the short arm of chromosome 9, these linkage data suggest that this locus is close to the centromere on the short arm of chromosome 9. |
