Abstract
A linkage analysis is reported for three branches of a single family segregating for autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa. A statistically significant lod score of 3.9 is obtained for the RP locus and AMY2 at a recombination frequency of 1%. This linkage indicates that the RP locus is on the no. 1 chromosome since the AMY2 locus has been placed on the short arm of 1. Lod scores are reported for four other loci on chromosome 1; none of these achieve statistical significance. Analyses are reported for 23 additional autosomal markers and close linkage with RP can be excluded for a number of these.Entities:
