Abstract

Craniometaphyseal dysplasia - Jackson type (CMDJ) is an autosomal dominant bone dysplasia with hyperostosis and sclerosis of the skull and abnormal modelling of the metaphyses, In a large German pedigree, a locus for CMDJ has been mapped previously to the short arm of chromosome 5 (5p15.2-p14.1), defining a 19-cM disease interval between markers D5S2004 and D5S502. Analysis of a large Australian pedigree together with a second German family confirms linkage to the same region. Obligate recombinations in the new families and confirmation of a supposed recombination in the previously reported German kindred have enabled us to narrow the critical region down to approximately 4 cM between markers D5S1987 and D5S1991.
