Abstract
The gene for the X-linked form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT Peroneal Muscular Atrophy, X-linked: McKusick No. 30280) has been shown in a single family to be linked to DXYSI with a lod score of 4.55 at a recombination fraction of 0.03 and to PGK1 with a lod score of 3.34 at zero recombination. This is in agreement with previous work based on several families. Pooled data from this family and 7 previously reported families give a maximum lod score of 12.04 at θmax of 0.05 for linkage between CMTX and DXYS1 loci.Keywords
