Linkage analysis has been carried out in 11 kindreds with autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) using the genetic marker 3'HVR, closely linked (theta = 0.05) to the gene of the autosomal dominant type. Close linkage (theta less than or equal to 0.20) between the locus of the marker a

✦ Synopsis
The autosomal dominant form of polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) has been linked to the alpha-globin gene locus on 16p. Linkage studies between the autosomal recessive type (ARPKD) and the 3' HVR of the alpha-globin gene cluster showed that the ARPKD and ADPKD are not allelic.
