Retinitis pigmentosa is a genetically heterogeneous form of retinal degeneration, which has X-linked, autosomal recessive and autosomal dominant forms. The disease genes in families with autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (adRP) have been linked to six loci, on 3q, 6p, 7p, 7q, 8q and 19q. In a large American family with late-onset adRP, microsatellite markers were used to test for linkage to the loci on 3q, 6p, 7p, and 8q. Linkage was found to 7q using the marker D7S480. Additional microsatellite markers from 7q were then tested. In total, five markers, D7S480, D7S514, D7S633, D7S650 and D7S677, show statistically significant evidence for linkage in this family, with a maximum two-point lod score of 5.3 at 0% recombination from D7S514. These results confirm an earlier report of linkage to an adRP locus (RP10) in an unrelated family of Spanish origin and indicate that RP10 may be a significant gene for inherited retinal degeneration. In addition, we used recently reported microsatellite markers from 7q to refine the linkage map of the RP10 locus.

D002897 Chromosomes, Human, Pair 7 A specific pair of GROUP C CHROMOSOMES of the human chromosome classification. Chromosome 7
D004276 DNA, Satellite Highly repetitive DNA sequences found in HETEROCHROMATIN, mainly near centromeres. They are composed of simple sequences (very short) (see MINISATELLITE REPEATS) repeated in tandem many times to form large blocks of sequence. Additionally, following the accumulation of mutations, these blocks of repeats have been repeated in tandem themselves. The degree of repetition is on the order of 1000 to 10 million at each locus. Loci are few, usually one or two per chromosome. They were called satellites since in density gradients, they often sediment as distinct, satellite bands separate from the bulk of genomic DNA owing to a distinct BASE COMPOSITION.
