Abstract excerpt
Fabry disease is an X-linked recessive inborn error of glycosphingolipid catabolism that results from the deficient activity of the lysosomal enzyme alpha-galactosidase A (alpha-Gal A). A rapid, reliable, and universal linkage method was developed for molecular carrier detection and prenatal diagnosis. By determining the informativeness and phase of amplifiable intragenic RFLPs (NcoI and SacI), flanking RFLPs...
