Purpose A previous genome-wide study in Orthodox Ashkenazi Jewish pedigrees showed significant linkage of ocular refraction to a Quantitative Trait Locus (QTL) about 1p34-36. a fine-mapping linkage study of OOA and ASHK family members, we have confirmed linkage of refractive error to a QTL on 1p. The area of linkage has been narrowed down to… Continue reading Purpose A previous genome-wide study in Orthodox Ashkenazi Jewish pedigrees showed
