A linkage analysis has been performed on three Australian families segregating for autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (ADRP). No evidence of linkage has been found in any of the pedigrees studied between the locus D3S47 and the gene for ADRP. The D3S47 locus was found to show very close linkage with the ADRP gene in a large Irish pedigree. Our study together with a similar report on a British family indicates that there is genetic heterogeneity in this disease.
对三个患有常染色体显性遗传性视网膜色素变性(ADRP)的澳大利亚家族进行了连锁分析。在所研究的任何家系中,均未发现D3S47位点与ADRP基因之间存在连锁证据。在一个大型爱尔兰家系中,发现D3S47位点与ADRP基因表现出非常紧密的连锁。我们的研究以及一份关于一个英国家族的类似报告表明,这种疾病存在遗传异质性。
