PURPOSE: We reported previously a 7-base intronic deletion close to the intron/exon junction of the SOD1 gene in 2 separate families with an autosomal-dominant form of keratoconus. The goal of this study was to determine if the 2 families (families A and H) shared a common haplotype by identifying closely linked new microsatellite markers flanking the SOD1 gene. METHODS: Total genomic DNA was extracted from the...
