Three polymorphic loci APOC2, CKMM and p134C were used to haplotype 15 Finnish dystrophia myotonica (DM) families representing about one third of all DM patients in this isolated population. Compound APOC2 and CKMM haplotypes reveal linkage disequilibrium: 90% of DM chromosomes co-occur with the haplotypes that occur in 31% of normal chromosomes only. The same disequilibrium is present when only polymorphisms occurring at the APOC2 locus are used. Surprisingly, no statistically significant linkage disequilibrium was discovered at the CKMM locus alone. Of the meiotic events, 84% were informative when both APO2 and CKMM loci were used. When studied selectively, 60% of meiotic events were informative at the APOC2 locus, whereas CKMM alone resulted in 65% meiotic informativeness. The distal marker p134C was found to have an unfortunately low information content in our population.

D009223 Myotonic Dystrophy Neuromuscular disorder characterized by PROGRESSIVE MUSCULAR ATROPHY; MYOTONIA, and various multisystem atrophies. Mild INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY may also occur. Abnormal TRINUCLEOTIDE REPEAT EXPANSION in the 3' UNTRANSLATED REGIONS of DMPK PROTEIN gene is associated with Myotonic Dystrophy 1. DNA REPEAT EXPANSION of zinc finger protein-9 gene intron is associated with Myotonic Dystrophy 2.

D011110 Polymorphism, Genetic The regular and simultaneous occurrence in a single interbreeding population of two or more discontinuous genotypes. The concept includes differences in genotypes ranging in size from a single nucleotide site (POLYMORPHISM, SINGLE NUCLEOTIDE) to large nucleotide sequences visible at a chromosomal level.

D012150 Polymorphism, Restriction Fragment Length Variation occurring within a species in the presence or length of DNA fragment generated by a specific endonuclease at a specific site in the genome. Such variations are generated by mutations that create or abolish recognition sites for these enzymes or change the length of the fragment.
