Abstract:Pfeiffer syndrome (PS) Is an autosomal dominant disorder characterizedby cranlosynostosis, mldfaclal hypoplasia, and broad thumbsand great toes. We examined 129 Individuals from 11 familieswith PS and performed linkage studies using microsatellite markersspanning the entire genome. Strongest support for linkage waswith DNA markers (D8S255, GATA8G08) from chromosome 8. Obligatecrossovers exclude close linkage to this region in six families,and there was significant evidence for genetic heterogeneity.A multipoint lod score of 7.15 was obtained In five families.The 11 cM Interval between D8S278 and D8S285 contains one genefor PS and also spans the centromere of chromosome 8.
