  • D=deleted. NI=not informative. Normal=not deleted. NA=none assigned. The five highly polymorphic minisatellites used in the screening are italicised. CEB121 and Genethon microsatellite markers D1S2795, D1S2633, and D1S214516 cannot be ordered by linkage analysis in the 40 CEPH families. FO525 (accession numberAJ001151) is physically linked to Genethon marker D1S2694.
