Abstract

An earlier reported family with a deletion of the proximal long arm of the X chromosome was reinvestigated with special attention to the presence of choroideremia. Two females were identified as carriers of choroideremia while a tapeto-retinal dystrophy was ascertained in a mentally retarded boy. RFLP analysis revealed that the interstitial deletion covered the locus DXYS1 and not DXS17. Chromosome studies indicated a deletion within the Xq21 area.
