Summary
Linkage data for familial incontinentia pigmenti (IP2) and nine X chromosomal markers are reported. Previously found linkage between IP2 and the DXS52 locus is confirmed with the maximum lod score of 6.19 at a recombination fraction of 0.03. Linkage is also established with loci DXS134, DXS15 and DXS33. Multipoint analysis allows us to localize the IP2 locus outside a block of seven linked markers of the Xq28 region.
