Abstract
Arrestin is a component of the light transduction cascade that takes place in the outer segment of retinal rods. In situ hybridization and linkage analysis have localized the arrestin gene to a region of 50 cM between CRYG alpha and D2S23/D2S55 on chromosome 2q24-37. We have performed pairwise and multipoint linkage analysis between arrestin and four highly polymorphic markers from this region. The results indicate tight linkage between the gene and the microsatellite D2S172 (Zmax = 9.25 at theta = 0.038). This fine localization of the gene should provide a useful tool for cosegregation analyses involving the arrestin gene.Mesh:
