Abstract excerpt

Granular Groenouw type I (CDGG1) and lattice type 1 (CDL1) corneal dystrophies are two distinct potentially blinding conditions. These two entities were recently mapped to a region on chromosome 5q. We have investigated 2 families of Swiss origin with CDGG1 and CDL1 by linkage analysis. Our data show a maximum lod score of 5.38 at theta = 0.00 for marker D5S393 in CDL1 and 4.17 at theta = 0.00 for D5S658 in...
