Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To map and identify the mutated gene for autosomal dominant cataract (ADC) in a large Chilean family (ADC53). DESIGN: Experimental study. PARTICIPANTS: Large Chilean family with ADCs. METHODS: Linkage analyses using genome-wide polymorphic DNA markers were performed on a family with variable expression of cataracts to map the mutated gene to a chromosome; 2-point lod scores were calculated. Candidate...
