Abstract excerpt
Doyne honeycomb retinal dystrophy (DHRD) is a late-onset autosomal dominant disorder that causes degeneration of the retina and can lead to blindness. We have previously assigned DHRD to a 5-cM region of chromosome 2p16 between marker loci D2S2739 and D2S378. Using sequence-tagged sites (STSs), expressed sequence tags (ESTs) and polymorphic markers within the DHRD region, we have identified 18 yeast artificial...
