Figure 1
Pedigree of family with LCA. Blackened symbols represent affected individuals. Blackened bars indicate disease-linked haplotype. Genotype (in parentheses) is inferred. Markers are listed in order, from centromere to telomere. Critical recombination events are noted in individuals 29 and 24 at markers D6S1551 and D6S1694, respectively.
