Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To increase the success rate of prenatal diagnosis for classical phenylketonuria(PKU). METHODS: Three new short tandem repeat (STR) markers (PAH26, PAH32 and PAH9) within and surrounding phenylalanine hydroxylase(PAH) gene were selected for amplified fragment length polymorphism. The allele frequencies and polymorphism information contests (PIC) were determined in Chinese population. RESULTS: The PIC...
