Hemophilia A: carrier detection and prenatal diagnosis by DNA analysis.

In this study, we used DNA polymorphisms for carrier detection and prenatal diagnosis of hemophilia A in a large group of Italian families. The restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) investigated were the intragenic polymorphic Bc/I site within the factor VIII gene; the extragenic multiallelic Taq I system at the St14 locus; and the extragenic Bg/II site at the DX13 locus. The factor...

Haemophilia A: carrier detection and prenatal diagnosis by linkage analysis using DNA polymorphism.

Restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) within or close to the factor VIII locus are very useful for genetic linkage analysis. Such RFLPs allow a mutant allele to be tracked in a family, segregating haemophilia A even when, as is usually the case, the precise mutation causing failure to synthesise factor VIII is unknown. To date two markers tightly linked to the factor VIII locus have...

Feasibility of DNA based methods for prenatal diagnosis and carrier detection of propionic acidaemia.

Propionic acidaemia (PA) is an autosomal recessive disease caused by a genetic deficiency of propionyl-CoA carboxylase (PCC). Defects in the PCCA and PCCB genes that code for the alpha and beta subunits of PCC, respectively, are responsible for PA. A proband with PA was previously shown to carry the c1170insT mutation and the private L519P mutation in the PCCB gene. Here we report the prenatal ...

Haemophilia: strategies for carrier detection and prenatal diagnosis.

In 1977 WHO published in the Bulletin a Memorandum on Methods for the Detection of Haemophilia Carriers. This was produced following a WHO/WFH (World Federation of Haemophilia) Meeting of Investigators in Geneva in November 1976, and has served as a valuable reference article on the genetics of haemophilia. The analyses discussed were based on phenotypic assessment, which, at that time, was the...

Report of VNTR with 13 Repeats Linked to Phenylalanine Hydroxylase Locus in Unaffected Members of Two PKU Families

Phenylketonuria (PKU) is one of the most common metabolic inborn diseases caused by mutations in the phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene. This gene is linked to a variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) region which is a polymorphic marker that facilitates the implementation of prenatal diagnosis and carrier screening. In this study, VNTR with 13 repeats that has not been reported previously ...
