Cataracts can be associated with a variety of diseases in humans and other mammalian species or they can be present as the only disease manifestation. Since cataracts are known to have genetic heterogeneity, it has been difficult to isolate a congenital cataract gene. Therefore, animal mutant models
A human cDNA for biglycan (BGN) has recently been mapped to proximal Xq28. We have mapped the murine locus, Bgn, approximately 50 kb distal to DXPas8, using a combination of genetic mapping in an interspecific backcross of B6CBA-AW-J/A -Bpa x Mus spretus and physical mapping using pulsed field gel e
