The study of location of the gene for inborn dominant nokhur kataracta
is going on. No linkage of this gene with the locus of alpha-globin g
ene (16p13.3) and the locus (7q36-qter) was revealed. Additional evide
nce was obtained for a possible location of the gene for inborn domina
nt nokhur kataracta on the 14 chromosome. The maximal lod value equale
d to 1.089 at theta = 0.20 in the analysis of kataracta genes and alph
a-1-antitrypsin (14q32.1), and 0,846 at theta = 0.30 for the kataracta
gene and D14S13 (14q32.1-q32.32). For the alpha-1-antitrypsin gene th
e maximal lod value was 2.24 at theta = 0.05.
