Open AccessEvaluation of the Serotonergic Genes htr1A, htr1B, htr2A, and slc6A4 in Aggressive Behavior of Golden Retriever Dogs
Aggressive behavior displays a high heritability in our study group of Golden Retriever dogs. Alterations in brain serotonin metabolism have been described in aggressive dogs before. Here, we evaluate whether ...

A (G-to-A) mutation in the initiation codon of the proteolipid protein gene causing a relatively mild form of Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease in a Dutch family
Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease (PMD) is an X-linked recessive disorder that is characterized by dysmyelination of the central nervous system resulting from mutations in the proteolipid protein (PLP) gene. Mutati...

Familial mitochondrial encephalopathy with fetal ultrasonographic ventriculomegaly and intracerebral calcifications
In two sibs antenatal ultrasonography revealed identical intracranial calcification, ventricular widening and microcephaly. The first pregnancy was artificially terminated at 19 weeks. Post-mortem examination ...

DXS539, a polymorphic DNA marker proximal of the fragile-X gene
We report a new polymorphic DNA marker (pJH89, DXS539) proximal to the fragile-X site. The pJH89 probe identifies a TaqI and a NcoI restriction fragment length polymorphism (combined heterozygosity of 42%) and is...

Prader-Willi Syndrome and Angelman Syndrome in Two Female Cousins as a Result of a Familial Translocation
Two first cousins, one with Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) and one with Angelman Syndrome (AS), were both found to have familial translocation 6;15. Cytogenetic and molecular analysis indicate that the child with...

New distal marker closely linked to the fragile X locus
We have isolated II-10, a new X-chromosomal probe that identifies a highly informative two-allele TaqI restriction fragment length polymorphism at locus DXS466. Using somatic cell hybrids containing distinct port...

Linkage analysis in X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy and application in post-and prenatal diagnosis
We have performed linkage analysis with the DNA markers DXS52 and the clotting factor VIII gene (F8C), in several large families with X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD). The tight linkage to DXS52 could be ex...

Myotonic dystrophy is closely linked to the gene for muscle-type creatine kinase (CKMM)
We have studied genetic linkage between the gene for creatine kinase muscle type (CKMM) and the gene for myotonic dystrophy (DM). In a panel of 65 myotonic dystrophy families from Canada and the Netherlands, a...

Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus: close linkage with markers from the distal long arm of the human X chromosome
Ten families with nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) have been analysed for restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs). A search for linkage was performed using various chromosome-specific single-copy...
