## Abstract We have observed that the frequency of D17S855 short alleles (139 bp and 141 bp) in individuals carrying BRCA1 germline mutations is higher than in controls (54% __vs.__ 31%, __p__ = 0.0004). By unambiguously establishing mutation/D17S855 phase in 18 BRCA1‐positive families, we find tha
Niemann-Pick disease (NPD) types A/B are both caused by a deficiency of lysosomal acid sphingomyelinase and display autosomal recessive inheritance. These two types of the disease were described according to the presence (type A) or absence (type B) of neurological symptoms. We present a molecular a
