Chromosomal region 15q11-q13 has been implicated to harbor a susceptibility gene or genes underlying autism. Evidence has been derived from the existence of cytogenetic anomalies in this region associated with autism, and the report of linkage in a modest collection of multiplex families. Most recen

Linkage analysis of bronchial hyperreactivity and atopy with chromosome 1 lq13
There are two key clinical features of asthma: allergy and bronchial hyperreactivity (BHR). Some pedigree studies of atopy have indicated linkage with the high affinity IgE receptor (FceRI-P) gene on chromosome llq13, but others failed to confirm this linkage. We examined the genetic linkage of three polymorphic microsatellite markers to atopy and BHR in 120 affected sibling pairs recruited from the general community. We found no linkage to atopy at any of' the three llq13 loci studied. Our findings also do not favour linkage between BHR and loci approximately 8-9 cM either side of the FceRI-fi gene.
