| Abstract: | Analysis of linkage between the gene of autosomal dominant congenital cataract and 10 polymorphic loci localized in 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 13, 16 chromosomes was performed. Some loci were only informative for this purpose: Mucin located in 1q21, NH24 located in the 2-nd chromosome and Pi located in 1q21 32.17. No linkage was observed for the cataract gene and the loci located in chromosomes 1 and 2. The maximum estimate of likelihood is approx. 0.2 for the cataract gene and the Pi locus located in 14q32.1, though the value of the maximal lod score was only, 0.732. |
