Abstract
High-density genetic maps of individual human chromosomes will permit accurate localization of disease-associated genes and provide signposts that will be useful in the construction of physical maps. We have constructed a genetic map of chromosome 7 with 63 polymorphic DNA markers by using segregation data from 23 three-generation families and recently developed multilocus linkage-analysis techniques. The map spans 250 centimorgans in females and 170 centimorgans in males, with much of the difference being concentrated in a few intervals. The density and informativeness of the markers are such that there is a high probability of detecting linkage to any disease gene on this chromosome for which 20 phase-known meioses are available.Entities:
