Abstract excerpt
We used segregation analysis to investigate the genetic basis of variation in dystopia canthorum, one of the key diagnostic features of Waardenburg syndrome type 1 (WS1). We sought to determine whether the W-index, a quantitative measure of this craniofacial feature, is influenced primarily either by allelic variation in the PAX3 disease gene or other major loci, by polygenic background effects, or by all of...
