Does homozygosity mapping in an anophthalmic pedigree provide evidence of additional genetic heterogeneity?
Although constrained by the pedigree's size, the homozygosity mapping approach employed in this study extends the locus heterogeneity of anophthalmia. The results indicate that a novel molecular cause remains to be determined in this pedigree with the causative gene likely located within one of the five IBD regions.
Publicly funded for-profit facilities have significantly higher rates of both mortality and hospital admissions.
