Summary
A map distance of 2.9 cM between D7S13 (pB79a) and the cystic fibrosis (CF) locus was obtained from the analysis of 13 informative families with a history of CF. This result is based solely on the HindIII restriction fragment length polymorphism (HindIII-RFLP) at D7S13, since the interpretation of the Msp1-RFLP at this locus was found to be unreliable.
