These mostly include positional cloning [ 12], a method applicable to any kind of genetic lesion that, however, needs highly saturated genetic maps; PCR-based reverse genetics techniques [ 11, 13], requiring a previous considerable knowledge of genomic sequence; and genomic subtraction procedures [ 14- 16], which do not need sequence information but are strongly dependent on the gene dosage.
