Abstract excerpt
Chorionic Villous Biopsy (CVS) for diagnosis of XLP was undertaken at 10 weeks gestation in an obligate carrier. The fetus was found to be male by cytogenetic analysis. XLP (Xq25-q26) is closely linked to the RFLP markers DXS10, DXS37 and DXS42, but only DXS10 (distal to XLP) was informative for prenatal diagnosis in this family. RFLP analysis using this marker gave a 7% risk that the fetus was affected, based on...
