## Abstract Fifteen pedigrees with a total of 75 cases of breast cancer, 10 of ovarian cancer and 53 of other cancers have been collected. Polymorphic markers on chromosome 17q have been screened to locate a putative breastβcancer gene using DNA from relevant individuals within these families. Pair

Familial frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a complex disorder with lack of distinctive histopathological markers found in other types of dementia. Most of the linkage reports from FTD families map the disease loci to chromosome 17q21-22. However, FTD is genetically heterogeneous, as linkage also has
## Abstract A breastβovarian cancer susceptibility gene, __BRCAI__, which is responsible for disease in approximately 45% of breast cancer families and most families that contain breast and ovarian cancer, has been assigned by genetic linkage to 17q12β21. Here, we report the analysis of three marke
