We have analyzed DNA marker typing data contributed by six independent groups to estimate the pairwise genetic distances between these markers and the locus for multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A (MEN 2A). We used LIPED to calculate these distances for female, male, and sex-average linkage maps and to determine the corresponding LOD scores. The preliminary analyses of this large data set (89 MEN 2A families and five non-MEN 2A references families, with 1,934 total individuals) are reported here. These refined estimates of the genetic map in this region will aid in the assignment of presymptomatic diagnoses. This study clearly points out the limitation of pairwise linkage analysis in further refining the position of MEN2A in this small region of chromosome 10. Further refinement of the genetic map position of MEN2A will be best accomplished by finding, verifying, and accurately mapping crossovers in specific families.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008126 Lod Score The total relative probability, expressed on a logarithmic scale, that a linkage relationship exists among selected loci. Lod is an acronym for "logarithmic odds." Lod Scores,Score, Lod,Scores, Lod
D008297 Male Males
D009377 Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia A group of autosomal dominant diseases characterized by the combined occurrence of tumors involving two or more ENDOCRINE GLANDS that secrete PEPTIDE HORMONES or AMINES. These neoplasias are often benign but can be malignant. They are classified by the endocrine glands involved and the degree of aggressiveness. The two major forms are MEN1 and MEN2 with gene mutations on CHROMOSOME 11 and CHROMOSOME 10, respectively.
