Abstract excerpt
The feasibility of DNA diagnosis for haemophilia A in North India was evaluated using intragenic polymorphic DNA markers in factor VIII gene for linkage analysis as well as direct detection of inversion mutation in intron 22 of the gene. The informativity of RFLP (HindIII, BclI and XbaI) and STR (introns 13 and 22) markers for linkage analysis in factor VIII gene was determined in 100 normal individuals. The...
