The gene responsible for X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) has not been identified; however, in the course of genetic linkage studies designed to map the locus more precisely, a number of closely linked polymorphic loci have been identified. These have proved to be useful in identifying carriers and
We present the first report of prenatal diagnosis of X-linked hyper-IgM syndrome by PCR-mediated site directed mutagenesis (PSM) in a woman known to carry the Q220X mutation in the CD40L gene. Using the simple PSM assay, the Q220X mutation was identified by chorionic villous sampling (CVS) at 11 wee
