Linkage analyses of multiple endocrine neoplasia, type 2 (MEN-2) with 23 classical genetic polymorphisms
Abstract:
Linkage analyses were performed in a single large family with multiple endocrine neoplasia, type 2 (MEN-2) between 23 classical genetic polymorphisms and MEN-2. We exclude close linkage of the locus for MEN-2 with ABO, ACP1, BF, ESD, Fy, GALT, GLO1, Jk, MNSs, P, PGM1, Rh and TF, as well as absolute linkage with GPT. These results raise to about 6% the proportion of the genome that has been excluded in this one family. Somewhat positive lod scores were obtained for GC (0.92 at theta = 0), GPT (0.73 at theta = 0.1) and HP (1.49 at theta = 0.05); although not statistically significant, these findings suggest regions of the genome that warrant additional study.

Phosphodiester Linkages
Phosphodiester bond forms when a phosphoric acid molecule (H3PO4) links with two hydroxyl groups (–OH) of two other molecules, forming two ester bonds. Two water molecules are released in this process. The phosphodiester bond is commonly found in nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) and plays a critical role in their structure and function.
Phosphodiester Bonds Link Nucleotides Together
DNA and RNA are polynucleotides or long chains of nucleotides that are linked together. A nucleotide is...
