Phenotypic data for 71 genetic markers for members of five Caucasian kindreds were tested for linkage with the autosomal dominant mutations causing Charcot-Marie-Tooth (hereditary motor sensory) neuropathy type I, characterized by markedly reduced nerve conduction velocities. Lod score analysis gave no evidence of linkage to the closely linked chromosome 1 loci SPTA1-FY-F5-AT3 and APOA2. In contrast, these mutations were found to map closely (zeta = 10.828, theta = 0.0) to D17S58, an anonymous segment of DNA from 17p11.2-p11.1, and thus define the CMT1A locus. Segregation information data for an inferred recombinant offspring indicated that the CMT1A locus is probably proximal to MYH2, the locus encoding adult skeletal muscle myosin heavy polypeptide 2, which maps to 17p13. Analysis of the lod scores on a per kindred basis gave no evidence of genetic heterogeneity.
