Title: X‐linked myotubular myopathy: a linkage study
Abstract: Two families with the congenital X‐linked infantile form of myotubular myopathy have been investigated by linkage analysis using markers from the X‐chromosome. Linkage was found at the locus Xq28 (with DXS52). The analysis gave a peak lod score of 2.41 at the recombination fraction zero. Free recombinations (θ=0.50) were seen using the markers DXS84, DXS14 and DXS146 from the p arm of the X‐chromosome. Since the disorder is very rare, it is important to add cumulative linkage data from the few families that do exist.
