Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0168917A1] Familial Dysautonomia (FD), is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by developmental arrest in the sensory and autonomic nervous systems and Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry. The familial dysautonomia disease gene (<i>DYS</i>) has previously been mapped to an 11cM segment of chromosome 9q31-33 flanked by <i>D9s53</i> and <i>D9S105</i>. Using new polymorphic loci, the location of the gene is narrowed to less than 0.5 cM between the markers 43B1GAGT and 157A3. Two markers in this interval, 164D1 and <i>D9S1677</i>, show no recombination with the disease. Haplotype analysis confirmed this candidate region. The identification of these close flanking markers of the familial dysautonomia disease gene allows accurate genetic testing for both familial dysautonomia families and carriers.
