Abstract
We have characterized and genetically mapped two new DNA markers (DXS311 and DXS312) with respect to 10 existing loci in Xq26----Xq28 in a set of 15 families in which the fragile-X [fra(X)] syndrome was segregating. Two-point and multipoint linkage analyses were performed taking into account the incomplete penetrance of the fra(X) mutation. The most likely order on the basis of these data is centromere-DXS79-DXS10-DXS311-DXS86-(F9-DXS99 )-(DXS98-DXS312)-fra(X)-DXS52- DXS15-F8C-telomere. DXS98 and one of the new loci, DXS312, were found to be the proximal markers closest to the fra(X) locus. The order F9-(DXS98-DXS312)-fra(X) was found to be 5.9 x 10(4) times more likely than the order (DXS98-DXS312)-F9-fra(X).
