In this study, single sperm typing has been used for high-resolution recombination analysis between the retinoblastoma gene and two closely linked extragenic microsatellites (D13S284 and D13S1307). The analysis of 1198 single sperm from three donors allowed the determination of recombination fractions between RB1.20 and D13S284 and RB1.20 and D13S1307 of 0.022 and 0.033, respectively. These results show that RB1 gene and the two microsatellites are closely linked, which validates their potential use in indirect genetic diagnosis of retinoblastoma.

Idiopathic sclerochoroidal calcification: new observations.

Two cases of idiopathic sclerochoroidal calcification are reported with follow-up of two and ten years. In addition we have reviewed 102 cases of choroidal osteoma, including six misleading case reports which actually described idiopathic sclerochoroidal calcification and not choroidal osteoma. Clinical manifestation and the angiographic features of idiopathic sclerochoroidal calcification are outlined. The differential diagnosis of intraocular deposition of calcium salts is discussed in detail.
