HLA-DR2 and rapid-eye-movement sleep latency: failure to replicate.

was thought to be more common than ARMD, BMD remained a signficant possibility. When RFLP technology became really powerful, with the identification of flanking markers to the BMD locus, I decided to apply it to this diagnostic problem. The findings argued against BMD. The table compares the probabilities of the RFLP findings, CK readings, and pedigree pattern on the assumption that the sisters are both carriers for BMD and on the assumption of the autosomal recessive form. ARMD is 55 000 times more likely than BMD. The
