Abstract excerpt
A large Pakistani family with several consanguineous marriages is described, in which autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa is segregating. Linkage studies revealed close linkage between the disease locus and six loci on chromosome 1q (D1S158, F13B, D1S422, D1S412, D1S413, and D1S53) with maximum lod scores ranging from 0.988-4.657 at theta = 0.065-0.235. However, the analysis of individual nuclear families...
