## Abstract The combination of autosomal dominant, early onset Paget disease of bone (PDB) and muscular dystrophy is an unusual disorder. We recently mapped the disorder in a large family from central Illinois with PDB and proximal limbβgirdle type of muscular dystrophy (LGMD), and in 3 additional

β¦ Synopsis
Paget disease of the bone is a common skeletal disorder. Recently, a gene for Paget disease was localized to 18q with subsequent evidence for linkage heterogeneity. We report the identification and clinical characterization of a large pedigree of Paget disease and demonstrate that the Paget disease gene in this pedigree is not linked to the region on 18q, thus confirming linkage heterogeneity.
