Abstract excerpt
Tay-Sachs disease is a lysosomal storage disease, which in its most severe form leads inexorably to death during infancy. We have developed a method for preimplantation diagnosis, using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology, by which the two most frequent mutations occurring in this disease can be amplified simultaneously. We have tested this method on single blastomeres and have compared four lysis methods:...
