Luo et al. (1995) performed affected-sib-pair analyses in 104 Caucasian families to map genes predisposed to insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM; see 222100). They observed linkage for D6S446 (maximum lod = 2.8) and for D6S264 (maximum lod = 2.0) on 6q25-q27. Together with a previously reported data set, linkage could be firmly established (maximum lod score = 3.4 for D6S264), and the disease locus was designated IDDM8.
