Abstract excerpt
Central areolar choroidal dystrophy (CACD) causes bilateral irreversible central visual loss in the 5th to 7th decades. The authors previously described a large pedigree with the disorder, which showed linkage to chromosome 17p13.2-->p13.1 between microsatellite markers D17S1353 and D17S1810. 17p13 is very rich in genes that cause retinal diseases. We have now constructed a detailed and ordered physical map of...
