Assignment of the locus for PLO-SL, a frontal-lobe dementia with bone cysts, to 19q13
Article Abstract:
Polycystic lipomembranous osteodysplasia with sclerosing leukoencephalopathy (PLO-SL) is a recessively inherited disorder of unknown pathogenesis involving systemic bone cysts and progressive presenile frontal-lobe dementia and death before the age of 50. Mostly in Japan and Finland, 160 cases have been reported since the 1960s. The locus for PLO-SL has been found by random genome screening using a modified haplotype-sharing method in patients in a genetically isolated group and it is in a 9-cM interval between D19S191 and D19S420 on chromosome 19q13.
