Abstract excerpt
Lattice corneal dystrophy type I (LCDI) is a relatively common corneal dystrophy which can cause severe visual impairment. Recent studies have suggested a genetic localisation for the disease to chromosome 5q. Independent genetic linkage analysis in a six generation LCDI pedigree confirmed linkage to the 5q region bounded by marker loci IL9 and D5S436 suggesting genetic homogeneity. A maximum two point lod score...
