Abstract excerpt
Juvenile X linked retinoschisis (RS) is a bilateral vitreoretinal dystrophy that develops early in life. Previous linkage studies have localised the RS gene to Xp22.1-p22.3 between DXS207 and AFM 291Wf5, which represents a genetic distance of approximately 3.7 cM. In an effort to facilitate the eventual cloning of the RS gene, we have analysed a large Colombian family, using 10 microsatellite markers that have...
