Abstract excerpt
Dominant optic atrophy (DOA, gene OPA1) is the commonest form of inherited optic atrophy. Linkage studies have shown that a locus for this disease lies in a 1.4-cM region at chromosome 3q28-->q29 and have suggested a founder haplotype for as many as 95% of the linked families. To aid the identification of candidate genes for this disease, we have constructed a Bacterial Artificial Chromosome (BAC) contig covering...
