A ninth locus (RP18) for autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa
... We have genotyped members of the family for the two above-mentioned RFLPs. In order to increase informativity, individual genotypes obtained for each of the polymorphisms were combined into haplotypes which were then used in linkage analysis. Haplotypes are shown in Figure 1. Clearly, haplotype 2 is ...
