Abstract excerpt
The locus for ocular albinism type 1 (OA1) has been assigned to the Xp22.3 region through both linkage and deletion mapping. The disorder was found to be genetically homogeneous, as all informative families showed convincing linkage data with markers on Xp22.3 and all identified deletions involved in the same region. The OA1 gene recently was cloned and several intragenic deletions were identified in affected...
