Abstract:
Objective To identify a locus at chromosome coding for hereditary palmoplantar keratoderma of three Chinese pedigrees.Methods The genome scan was conducted with microsatellite markers on chromosome 12(D12S85、D12S368、D12S83、D12S345)and 17(D17S1868、D17S787、D17S1857、D17S798、D17S944、D17S949)respectively on the ABI 3100 Genetic Analyzer(Applied Biosystems).Two-point LOD score was calculated.Results The maximum two-point LOD score 6.59 and 5.96 at ?=0.1 were obtained at D17S1868 and D17S787 on chromosome 17q12～q21.It is an evidence of linkage between this disease and KRT9 which has been mapped within the region.Conclusion There is a locus responsible for this disease on chromosome 17q12～q21.
