Abstract excerpt

Best's vitelliform macular dystrophy (VMD2) is an autosomal dominant retinal dystrophy for which the underlying biochemical cause is unknown. We used 11 genetic markers in the vicinity of the VMD2 gene in our study of a large North American family in which macular dystrophy characteristics overlap the broad definition of Best's disease. Significant evidence for linkage was found for markers D11S956 (Z = 5.88,...
