Use of genetic markers to diagnose familial dysautonomia.

摘要

The familial dysautonomia gene is identified as located on the long arm of human chromosome 9. As a result of this localization, the presence of the familial dysautonomia gene in a subject of a family with an affected individual is detected by analyzing human chromosome 9 of the subject for a DNA sequence containing the familial dysautonomia gene on the long arm of human chromosome 9 located between D9S59 and D9S127.
