Abstract excerpt
A seven-generation family with 30 members affected by highly variable autosomal dominant zonular pulverulent cataracts has been previously described. We have localized the cataracts to a 19-cM interval on chromosome 2q33-q35 including the gamma-crystallin gene cluster. Maximum lod scores are 4.56 (theta=0.02) with D2S157, 3.66 (theta=0.12) with D2S72, and 3.57 (theta=0.052) with CRYG. Sequencing and...
