Abstract excerpt
A C7 cDNA probe detecting a TaqI restriction fragment length polymorphism has been used to examine the segregation of the "silent allele" (C7*Q0) in two familial deficiencies. Carrier diagnosis in healthy children is possible when both parents are heterozygotes. Only one of these two families was informative. The "silent allele" is linked to different TaqI alleles in both families. This suggests that at least two...
