In order to identify new markers around the glaucoma locus GLC1B as a tool to refine its critical region at
2p11.2-2q11.2, we searched the critical region sequence obtained from the UCSC database for tetranucleotide
(GATA)n and (GTCT)n repeats of at least 10 units in length. Three out of four potential microsatellite loci were found
to be polymorphic, heterozygosity ranging from 64.56% to 79.59%. The identified markers are useful not only for
GLC1B locus but also for the study of other disease loci at 2p11.2-2q11.2, a region with scarcity of microsatellite
markers.
