Lattice corneal dystrophy type I (LCDI) is a relatively common corneal dystrophy which can cause severe visual impairment. Recent studies have suggested a genetic localisation for the disease to chromosome 5q. Independent genetic linkage analysis in a six generation LCDI pedigree confirmed linkage to the 5q region bounded by marker loci IL9 and D5S436 suggesting genetic homogeneity. A maximum two point lod score of 7.51 (theta = 0.03) was obtained with marker D5S393. Multipoint and haplotype data positioned the disease between loci D5S393 and D5S396 corresponding to a genetic distance of 2cM, thus refining linkage sufficiently to allow for physical mapping of this disorder.
I型格子状角膜营养不良(LCDI)是一种相对常见的角膜营养不良,可导致严重视力损害。最近的研究表明该疾病的基因定位于5号染色体q区。对一个六代LCDI家系进行的独立遗传连锁分析证实与由标记位点IL9和D5S436界定的5q区域连锁,提示遗传同质性。标记D5S393获得的最大两点连锁值为7.51(θ = 0.03)。多位点和单倍型数据将该疾病定位于位点D5S393和D5S396之间,对应的遗传距离为2厘摩,从而充分细化了连锁关系,以便对该疾病进行物理图谱绘制。
