We have developed a genetic linkage map of chromosome 21 using 17 microsatellite marker polymorphisms. The markers span virtually the entire length of 21q, and define a sex-equal map of 56 cM. Extensive error checking has been used to provide an accurate map. All recombination events have been identified, allowing us to place within a small interval any new markers by genotyping only a few critical individuals. The resulting segregation data has been examined for several meiotic phenomena, including sex differences in recombination, age differences in recombination, interference, and segregation distortion.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008540 Meiosis A type of CELL NUCLEUS division, occurring during maturation of the GERM CELLS. Two successive cell nucleus divisions following a single chromosome duplication (S PHASE) result in daughter cells with half the number of CHROMOSOMES as the parent cells.

D000544 Alzheimer Disease A degenerative disease of the BRAIN characterized by the insidious onset of DEMENTIA. Impairment of MEMORY, judgment, attention span, and problem solving skills are followed by severe APRAXIAS and a global loss of cognitive abilities. The condition primarily occurs after age 60, and is marked pathologically by severe cortical atrophy and the triad of SENILE PLAQUES; NEUROFIBRILLARY TANGLES; and NEUROPIL THREADS.
