Abstract excerpt
Stargardt disease (STGD) is one of the most frequent causes of macular degeneration in childhood. Linkage analysis in families with recessive STGD has recently shown genetic homogeneity and a location of the underlying gene at 1p22-p21 in a 4-cM interval. Haplotype analysis in seven Dutch STGD families with 11 highly polymorphic markers spanning the critical region has enabled us to refine the location of the...
