Abstract excerpt
Sorsby's fundus dystrophy (SFD) has been mapped to a genetic interval of 8 cM between loci D22S275 and D22S278. A total of 15 families, unrelated on the basis of genealogy and expressing the SFD phenotype were identified from a large data base of genetic eye disease families originating from diverse parts of the British Isles. The identification of the same Ser181Cys mutation cosegregating with disease in each...
