Abstract excerpt
Prenatal diagnosis of severe hypophosphatasia by mutation analysis of the tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP) gene is reliable and mostly informative. However, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) assay of CVS may be a useful complementary and independent method, especially when a mutation is unidentified and DNA from the index case is unavailable, rendering impossible the use of DNA polymorphisms as genetic...
