Abstract excerpt
Ophthalmological and molecular genetic studies were performed in a consanguineous family with individuals showing either retinitis pigmentosa (RP) or cone-rod dystrophy (CRD). Assuming pseudodominant (recessive) inheritance of allelic defects, linkage analysis positioned the causal gene at 1p21-p13 (lod score 4.22), a genomic segment known to harbor the ABCR gene involved in Stargardt's disease (STGD) and...
