Abstract excerpt
The locus (RP1) for one form of autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (adRP) was mapped on chromosome 8q11-q22 between D8S589 and D8S285, which are about 8 cM apart, by linkage analysis in an extended family ascertained in the USA. We have studied a multigeneration Australian family with adRP and found close linkage without recombination between the disease locus and D8S591, D8S566, and D8S166 (Zmax =...
