Summary
Linkage between X-linked congenital stationary night blindness (CSNB1) and seven markers on the X chromosome was investigated in a large four-generation Albertan kindred. We detected significant linkage between the CSNB1 locus and the locus DXS255 (maximum lod score = 6.73 at a recombination fraction of 6%; confidence interval of 1% to 18%), which anchors the CSNB1 locus to the proximal region near p11.22 on the short arm of the X chromosome.
