Positional Cloning of Disease Causing Genes : A Genetic Study of Obesity, Ichthyosis Prematurity Syndrome and Meniere's Disease

Positional cloning is a method to identify genes from their position in the genome without prior knowledge about function. We used this approach to investigate the basis for three distinct genetic disorders; Obesity, Ichthyosis Prematurity Syndrome and Meniere's disease. Obesity appears when en...
