Genetic Linkage Analysis
... For a large gene such as the DMD gene that covers a genetic distance of close to 10 cM, recombination between the genetic marker and the disease mutation needs to be excluded by markers that flank the gene. These markers must be informative (heterozygous in the affected or carrier parent) so that a ...
