The genetic locus for facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) has been mapped to chromosome 4. We have examined linkage to five chromosome 4q DNA markers in 22 multigenerational FSHD families. Multipoint linkage analyses of the segregation of four markers in the FSHD families and in 40 multigenerational mapping families from the Centre d'Etude du Polymorphisme Humaine enabled these loci and FSHD to be placed in the following order: cen-D4S171-factor XI-D4S163-D4S139-FSHD-qter. One interval ...[more]
