Genetic linkage between the loci for myotonic dystrophy and peptidase D

Abstract

In a linkage study between myotonic dystrophy and peptidase D it is evident from the lod score values that with high probability theta lies between 0 and 0.1. The data thus support a previous hint of linkage between peptidase D and the Lutheran and secretor loci, which were already known to be linked to myotonic dystrophy.
