Abstract excerpt
The genetic background of congenital glaucoma in a consanguineous south Indian family was examined by homozygosity analyses. Significant evidence for the homozygosity of alleles was detected for markers D2S177 and D2S1346 that are tightly linked to the CYP1B1 gene, and further involvement of this gene was confirmed by the co-segregation of a novel truncating mutation (Q110X) in exon 2 with the disease in all...
