    Abstract

    We have used multilocus analysis to exclude the cystic fibrosis locus from six polymorphic DNA markers covering most of chromosome 19. A substantial increase in the confidence for exclusion was obtained using the computer programme LINKAGE compared to analysis of pairwise lod scores. A structured approach to the analysis of linkage to autosomal recessive inherited diseases where the biochemical defect is not known is described.
