Evidence against linkage of the gene for Usher's syndrome type 1 with group specific component (GC) on chromosome 4.
A linkage of the gene for Usher's syndrome with group specific component (GC) on the long arm of chromosome 4 has been suggested by Pelias et al., in 1988. A panel of 38 individuals from 7 kindreds with Usher's syndrome type 1 has been established to test this hypothesis. A negative lodscore was found and close linkage was excluded.
