X-linked recessive myotubular myopathy (XLMTM; MTM1) is a severe neonatal disorder often causing perinatal death of the affected males. The responsible gene, designated MTM1, was localized to proximal Xq28 and recently isolated. The characterization of MTM1 allowed us to screen for causing mutations

Chediak-Higashi syndrome (CHS) is an auto-soma1 recessive disease in humans, cats, and 8 other species. The homology of CHS in humans and cats has been demonstrated. Since human CHS is a progressive, serious, and eventually fatal disease, a method for prenatal diagnosis would be desirable. This stud
A diagnosis of Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease (MIM 312080) was made in a young boy. No mutation in the coding region of the proteolipid protein (PLP) gene had been found. The boy's maternal aunt came for prenatal diagnosis when 16+ weeks pregnant and carrying a male fetus. Samples were tested for dupl
