Evidence for Keratoconus Susceptibility Locus on Chromosome 14 A Genome-wide Linkage Screen Using Single-Nucleotide Polymorphism Markers

Abstract

A single-nucleotide polymorphism chip method was used to generate whole-genome data in a multiethic panel of 6 families affected by keratoconus.Linkage to14q24,3 was detected

Keywords

• single-nucleotide polymorphism
• chip method
• keratoconus
