Positions of analyzed ECA6q markers. Ten microsatellite markers and one SNP marker (PMEL17ex11) spanning approximately 45.2 Mb were included in this study. Three markers showed complete linkage (recombination fraction = 0.00) with the MCOA locus; UPP5 (z = 10.84), PMEL17ex11 (z = 12.64), UPP6 (z = 11.14). Our result can position the MCOA susceptibility locus with high confidence to the 4.9 megabase interval between TKY412 and UPP7.
