| Summary: |
A pedigree with conduction system disease and proximal, adult onset muscular dystrophy was reported with linkage to chromosome 6(q22-23). Elevated creatine kinases (CK’s) were variably observed with some affected subjects, but not all. Minimal cardiac dilatation was present. Linkage was established with markers in the D6S262 and D6S1040 region with two point lod score of 4.99, which was mapped to a 3 cM region of chromosome 6q22-23. |
