Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To map and identify the mutated gene for autosomal dominant cataract (ADC) in family ADC4. METHODS: Ophthalmic evaluations were performed on an American family with ADC and a panel of polymorphic DNA sequence-tagged site (STS) markers for known ADC loci and other genome-wide polymorphic markers were used to map the gene; two-point lod scores were calculated. Fine mapping was undertaken in the chromosomal...
