Abstract
Linkage between seven loci on chromosome 19 and multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2a (MEN2A) was examined in a single large Swedish pedigree. A total of 50 cM was excluded from the male genetic map by pairwise analysis and an estimated 63 cM by multipoint analysis. Using existing data on the likelihood of different marker-marker distances and taking into account current exclusions on other chromosomes, the probability that the gene for MEN2A segregating in this pedigree could still be located on chromosome 19 is approximately 0.28%.Keywords
