Figure 10. Marker analysis in PRA affected
RPGRIP1−/− MLHDs. Polymorphic markers in the
cord1
critical region on CFA15 were analyzed in PRA affected
RPGRIP1−/−
MLHDs. The 12 dogs shown are representative of the haplotypes of 47
sporadic cases and six cases from Family K studied. Alleles shared by
the majority of the dogs are highlighted in blue (referred to as
“common allele” in
Figure 9 and
Figure 11)
and other highlighted colors mark less common alleles. Variants in
CAMC15.029 and 034 could be the result of mutation events, rather than
recombination since the markers flanking them are the “common alleles.”
Therefore, the region of homozygosity was delimited by markers
CAMC15.041 and CAMC15.031. The symbol (-) for the marker
RPGRIP1
insertion represents the
RPGRIP1 insertion allele. ND indicates
that the genotype was not determined.
