BACKGROUND: Single cell diagnosis for preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) requires simultaneous analysis of multiple linked polymorphic markers in addition to mutation analysis in order to reduce misdiagnosis. This type of analysis requires building family haplotypes spanning at least two generations. We present three childless couples in whom the female was a de novo mutation carrier in the Duchenne Muscular...
