Various Types of Hereditary Inclusion Body Myopathies Map to Chromosome 9p1-q1 Ann Neurol 41:548-551, Argov,Z.,et al, 1997 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract We mapped the disease gene segregating in two families of Afghani-Jewish and one family of Iraqi-Jewish descent to the chromosome 9 locus. Similarly,the disease gene segregating in a non Jewish family from India mapped to the same locus.By contrast,the disease gene segregating in a French-Canadian family in which affected individuals had central nervous system involvement as well as hereditary inclusion body myopathy did not map to this locus.We conclude that many but not all forms of autosomal recessive hereditary inclusion body myopathy are caused by a gene defect that maps to chromosome 9pl ql.
