Abstract excerpt
Two highly polymorphic CA repeats have been identified in the Menkes gene (ATP7A). These repeats should be useful for prenatal diagnosis and carrier detection in families with Menkes disease and X-linked cutis laxa. The observed heterozygosity for these two repeats was 0.778 and 0.60 in Centre d'...
