Linkage of the locus for cerebral cavernous hemangiomas to human chromosome 7q in four families of Mexican-American descent

Abstract

We confirmed the linkage of cavernous hemangioma to markers on the long arm of chromosome 7q, and the estimate of the map location has been refined to a region of shared haplotype between markers D7S630 and D7S527 in four Mexican-American families who may be descended from a common ancestor in Sonora County, Mexico.
